If you are getting ready for a new air conditioner, it can be overwhelming to look at all the different options out there. One of the first things, and perhaps the most critical, is to understand what size air conditioner you want to meet your home’s cooling needs. Efficiency is often top of mind, but it’s just as important to make sure you get the right sized system that will also work effectively.
You want to ensure you have an air conditioner that meets your home comfort needs. You want to ensure you aren’t paying for a system that is larger than you need. On the flip side, you don’t want to try and cut corners by buying a smaller system and pushing it to work harder.
There are a variety of reasons you should make sure to find the appropriately-sized air conditioner:
- Keeping the suitable humidity – Air conditioners not only support keeping your indoor space cool, but it also works to reduce humidity. If your system is outsized, probabilities are it will meet the desired temperature too quickly to aide in the humidity levels.
- Maintaining energy costs – While a system that is too small might keep up with cooling your house, you are pushing it to work more often or possibly constantly. This isn’t going to help your energy bills. You may have saved on initial costs for the equipment, but it won’t deliver savings down the road.
- Allowing appropriate cycling – If you select a system that is too big for your needs, it will rapidly cool down your home and shut off, not allowing your air conditioner to run through the proper cycling. This also affects your energy bills, because your air conditioner will be turning on and off relentlessly.
