If you are looking for a new air conditioner, it can be overwhelming to examine all the different options available. 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 just as important to make sure you get the right sized system that will also work effectively.
You want to make sure you have an air conditioner that reaches your home comfort needs. You want to ensure you aren’t spending money on a system that is larger than you need. On the other side, 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 will want to make sure to purchase the appropriately-sized air conditioner:
- Keeping the suitable humidity – Air conditioners not only support keeping your indoor temps cool, but it also works to lessen humidity. If your system is too big, odds are it will reach the desired temperature too rapidly to aide in the humidity levels.
- Maintaining energy bills – While a system that is too small might keep up with cooling your house, you are forcing it to work more frequently or possibly constantly. This isn’t going to help your energy bills. You may have saved on original costs for the equipment, but it won’t provide savings moving forward.
- Allowing appropriate cycling – If you choose a system that is too large for your home, it will quickly cool down your home and shut off, not permitting your air conditioner to run through the proper cycling. This impacts your energy bills, because your air conditioner will be turning on and off all the time.
