What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?
If you are thinking through buying a new air conditioner or looking closer at the performance of your current system, one of the first points to ponder is a load calculation.
What exactly does that include? Essentially, it comes down to making sure that you get properly-sized system for your home. Buying the improper size or type can have a lot of implications from the inability to keep your house cool to working so hard that it reduces its lifecycle.
Every home is unique; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are key considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It isn’t wise to purchase an air conditioner that is larger than what you need for your home. The equipment could cost more and you’ll be paying to run a system that is more than what’s required. Air conditioners also help to reduce humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not properly dehumidify the air which may also lead to decreased indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that isn’t big enough and can’t to keep up. Not only does this effect the cooling of your home during the warmer times, but it’ll also make the unit work harder.
With hundreds of different models and sizes, it can be a bear to know where to start. Fortunately, 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 figure out the size and type of equipment needed.
