If you are getting ready for a new air conditioner, it can be intimidating to look at all the different options out there. One of the first things, and perhaps the most important, is to determine what size air conditioner you should get to meet your home’s cooling demands. Efficiency is often top of mind, but it’s also important to make sure you get the appropriately sized system that will also work effectively.
You want to make sure you have an air conditioner that meets your home comfort needs. You want to ensure you aren’t throwing money at a system that is larger than you really need for your space. On the other hand, you don’t want to try and cut costs by buying a smaller system and pushing it to work harder.
There are a variety of reasons you should make sure to purchase the appropriately-sized air conditioner:
- Keeping the suitable humidity – Air conditioners not only help to keep your indoor air cool, but it also works to decrease humidity. If your system is too big, chances are it will get to the desired temperature too quickly to aide in the humidity levels.
- Maintaining energy costs – While a system that is too small might keep up with cooling your home, you are making it work more frequently or possibly constantly. This isn’t going to be great for your utility bills. You may have saved on original costs for the equipment, but it won’t provide savings moving forward.
- Allowing appropriate cycling – If you select a system that is too large for your house, it will swiftly cool down your home and shut off, not permitting 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.
