If you are in the market for a new air conditioner, it can be intimidating to review all the different options out there. One of the first things, and perhaps the most significant, is to determine what size air conditioner you need to meet your home’s cooling demands. Efficiency is often top of mind, but it’s also important to make sure you get the right sized system that will also work effectively.
You want to make sure you have an air conditioner that matches your home comfort needs. You want to ensure you aren’t throwing money at a system that is larger than you need. On the other side, you don’t want to try and cut corners by buying a smaller system and driving it to work harder.
There are a few reasons you will want to make sure to get the appropriately-sized air conditioner:
- Keeping the appropriate humidity – Air conditioners not only support keeping your indoor temps cool, but it also works to lessen humidity. If your system is too big, chances are it will get to the desired temperature too quickly to address the humidity levels.
- Maintaining utility bills – While a system that is too small could still be able to keep up with cooling your indoor space, you are making it work more often or possibly constantly. This isn’t going to help your energy bills. You may have saved on original costs for the equipment, but it won’t offer savings down the road.
- Allowing appropriate cycling – If you pick a system that is too large for your home, it will rapidly cool down your house and shut off, not letting your air conditioner to run through the proper cycling. This can also impact your energy bills, because your air conditioner will be turning on and off relentlessly.
