If you are thinking through getting a new air conditioner or taking a closer look at the performance of your current system, one of the first things to assess is a load calculation.
What exactly does that include? Really, it comes down to being sure that you get properly-sized system for your home. Getting the improper size or type can have a variety of implications from the inability to keep your house cool to operating so hard that it reduces its lifespan.
Every home is unique; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are important considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It doesn’t make sense to get an air conditioner that is bigger than what’s required for your home. The equipment can cost more and you’ll be paying to use a system that is more than what’s required. Air conditioners also help to decrease humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not properly dehumidify the air which could also lead to poor indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too small and isn’t able to keep up. Not only does this play a role in the cooling of your home during the warmer seasonal temperatures, but it’ll also make the unit work harder.
With a number of different models and sizes, it can be overwhelming to know where to turn for answers. Lucky for you, this isn’t something you need to take care of on your own. The Expert team at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can give you a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation takes into account the home’s structure, roof, windows, direction and location to decide the size and type of equipment you need. Any company that won’t provide this detailed analysis can’t correctly offer an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even provide you the best more accurate price of a new system.
Not only does this assessment help decide which system is best for you, but it can also help you receive the extra savings of high-efficiency products.
