If you are in the market for a new air conditioner, it can be a little daunting to review all the different options out there. One of the first things, and perhaps the most critical, is to determine 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 confirm you have an air conditioner that reaches your home comfort needs. You want to ensure you aren’t paying for a system that is larger than you actually need. On the flip side, you don’t want to try and cut costs by buying a smaller system and forcing it to work harder.
There are several reasons you will want to make sure to find the appropriately-sized air conditioner:
- Keeping the appropriate humidity – Air conditioners not only support keeping your indoor air cool, but it also works to lessen humidity. If your system is outsized, odds are it will get to the desired temperature too quickly to assist with the humidity levels.
- Maintaining energy bills – While a system that is too small might keep up with cooling your house, you are making it work more regularly or possibly constantly. This isn’t going to help your utility bills. You may have saved on early costs for the equipment, but it won’t offer savings down the road.
- Allowing accurate cycling – If you pick a system that is too large for your house, it will quickly cool down your home 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.
