If you are looking for a new air conditioner, it can be intimidating to review all the different options available. One of the first things, and perhaps the most critical, is to determine what size air conditioner you should get to meet your home’s cooling needs. 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 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 expenses by buying a smaller system and pushing it to work harder.
There are a few reasons you should make sure to get the appropriately-sized air conditioner:
- Keeping the suitable humidity – Air conditioners not only help to keep your indoor space cool, but it also works to lessen humidity. If your system is too large, odds are it will get to the desired temperature too quickly to assist with the humidity levels.
- Maintaining energy costs – While a system that is too small may still be able to keep up with cooling your house, you are forcing it to work more frequently or possibly constantly. This isn’t going to help your utility bills. You may have saved on early costs for the equipment, but it won’t offer savings moving forward.
- Allowing proper cycling – If you select a system that is too big for your needs, it will quickly cool down your indoor space and shut off, not letting your air conditioner to run through the proper cycling. This impacts your energy bills, because your air conditioner will be turning on and off relentlessly.
