Is Your New Air Conditioner the Right Size?
Published: August 8, 2016 | Installation Science
When it comes to air conditioning, bigger is not always better. While that logic works for other appliances, AC systems must be precisely sized to avoid premature failure and high energy bills.
📉 If It’s Too Small…
It will run constantly in a desperate attempt to reach your desired temperature. This leads to an overheated compressor and a system that burns out years before it should.
🔃 If It’s Too Large…
It will “Short-Cycle,” turning on and off rapidly. It won’t run long enough to remove humidity, leaving your home feeling clammy and causing excessive wear and tear.
