If you are considering purchasing a new air conditioner or taking a closer look at the performance of your present system, one of the first things to assess is a load calculation.
What exactly does that mean? Really, it comes down to being sure that you get properly-sized system for your home. Purchasing the incorrect size or type can have many consequences from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it decreases its lifespan.
Every home is distinct; 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 the most wise to get an air conditioner that is larger than needed for your home. The equipment will cost more and you’ll be paying to use a system that is more than what’s needed. Air conditioners also help to decrease humidity levels in the home and an oversized system won’t be able to properly dehumidify the air which can also lead to poor indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that isn’t big enough and isn’t able to keep up. Not only does this effect the cooling of your home during the warmer times, but it’ll also make the unit operate harder.
With hundreds of different models and sizes, it can be a bear to know where to begin. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to tackle on your own. The Expert team at Stevenson Service Experts can provide you with a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation includes factors like the home’s structure, roof, windows, direction and location to determine the size and type of equipment needed. Any company that won’t provide this detailed analysis can’t properly provide an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even give 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 will also help you see the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to factor in utility costs when considering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can provide will have a positive impact on your family’s budget.
