If you are considering buying 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 entail? Basically, it comes down to making sure that you get an appropriately-sized system for your home. Getting the wrong 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 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 doesn’t make sense to purchase an air conditioner that is larger than what you need for your home. The equipment will cost more and you’ll be paying to use a system that is more than what’s required. Air conditioners also help to reduce humidity levels in the home and an oversized system won’t be able to properly dehumidify the air which may also lead to poor indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too little and isn’t able to keep up. Not only does this impact the cooling of your home during the warmer seasons, but it’ll also make the unit run harder.
With a variety of different models and sizes, it can be intimidating to know where to begin. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to handle on your own. The Expert team at Wesley Wood Service Experts can give you 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 figure out the size and type of equipment you need. Any company that doesn’t provide this detailed analysis can’t properly give you 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 can also help you receive the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to factor in utility costs when pondering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can offer will have a positive impact on your family’s budget. Our experts can walk you through what you’ll need to live comfortably in your home and share some tidbits on how to reduce energy usage through various features available.
