What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?
If you are considering purchasing a new air conditioner or looking in to the performance of your current system, one of the first items to assess is a load calculation.
What exactly does that entail? Basically, it comes down to being sure that you get an appropriately-sized system for your home. Getting the wrong size or type can have a lot of effects from the inability to keep your house cool to working so hard that it decreases its lifespan.
Every home is distinct; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are crucial considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It isn’t the most wise to buy an air conditioner that is more than what’s required for your home. The equipment can cost more and you’ll be paying to operate a system that is more than what you need. Air conditioners also help to lower humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not properly dehumidify the air which may also lead to poor indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too little and isn’t able to keep up. Not only does this effect the cooling of your home during the warmer times, but it’ll also make the unit operate more.
With a number of different models and sizes, it can be intimidating to know where to start. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to handle on your own. The Expert team at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can give you a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation takes into account the home’s structure, roof, windows, direction and location to decide the size and type of equipment needed. Any company that does not provide this detailed analysis can’t correctly provide an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even provide you the best more accurate price of a new system.
Not only does this assessment help decide which system is best for you, but it will also help you see the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to factor in utility costs when making your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can offer will have a positive impact on your family’s budget. Our experts can walk you through what you need to live comfortably in your home and share some ideas on how to reduce energy usage through a variety of features available.
