If you are in the market for a new air conditioner, it can be a little daunting to review all the different options available. One of the first things, and perhaps the most critical, is to identify what size air conditioner you want to meet your home’s cooling demands. Efficiency is often top of mind, but just as important is making sure you get the correctly sized system that will also work effectively.
You want to ensure 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 flip side, you don’t want to try and cut costs by buying a smaller system and pushing it to work harder.
There are several reasons you should make sure to find the appropriately-sized air conditioner:
- Keeping the proper humidity – Air conditioners not only aide in keeping your indoor temps cool, but it also works to decrease humidity. If your system is too large, chances are it will get to the desired temperature too quickly to assist with the humidity levels.
- Maintaining energy costs – While a system that is too small could still be able to keep up with cooling your home, you are forcing it to work more often or possibly constantly. This isn’t going to benefit your energy costs. You may have saved on initial costs for the equipment, but it won’t deliver savings moving forward.
- Allowing accurate cycling – If you select a system that is too great for your home, it will quickly cool down your indoor space and shut off, not allowing your air conditioner to run through the proper cycling. This impacts your energy bills, because your air conditioner will be turning on and off constantly.
