If you are in the market for a new air conditioner, it can be a little daunting to look at all the different options available. One of the first things, and perhaps the most important, is to identify what size air conditioner you need to meet your home’s cooling requirements. Efficiency is often top of mind, but just as important is making sure you get the correctly sized system that will also work effectively.
You want to make sure 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 need. On the flip side, you don’t want to try and cut corners by buying a smaller system and pushing it to work harder.
There are a variety of reasons you will want to make sure to find the appropriately-sized air conditioner:
- Keeping the suitable humidity – Air conditioners not only support keeping your indoor space cool, but it also works to reduce humidity. If your system is too big, odds are it will reach the desired temperature too fast to address the humidity levels.
- Maintaining utility bills – While a system that is too small may still be able to keep up with cooling your home, you are forcing it to work more frequently or possibly constantly. This isn’t going to help your energy costs. You may have saved on early costs for the equipment, but it won’t deliver savings moving forward.
- Allowing proper cycling – If you pick a system that is too large for your home, it will quickly cool down your house 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 constantly.
