If you are in the market for a new air conditioner, it can be overwhelming to review all the different options out there. One of the first things, and perhaps the most critical, is to understand what size air conditioner you need to meet your home’s cooling needs. 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 ensure you have an air conditioner that matches your home comfort needs. You want to ensure you aren’t paying for a system that is larger than you really need for your space. On the flip side, you don’t want to try and cut corners by buying a smaller system and forcing it to work harder.
There are several reasons you want to make sure to get the appropriately-sized air conditioner:
- Keeping the proper humidity – Air conditioners not only help to keep your indoor temps cool, but it also works to lessen humidity. If your system is too large, chances are it will meet the desired temperature too quickly to aide in the humidity levels.
- Maintaining energy costs – While a system that is too small may still be able to keep up with cooling your indoor space, you are making it work more frequently or possibly constantly. This isn’t going to benefit your energy bills. You may have saved on early costs for the equipment, but it won’t deliver savings down the road.
- Allowing appropriate cycling – If you pick a system that is too great for your home, it will quickly cool down your indoor space and shut off, not letting 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.
