When the time comes for an air conditioner replacement, a load calculation determined by a professional is a crucial step in making certain that you’re selecting the best system for your home. Every home has its own specific demands on a cooling system. Installing an incorrectly sized system will negatively affect your comfort, and your utility bills. So what goes into a home’s load calculation?
Our pros take into account many factors when determining the load calculation and the size of system you will need. We look at factors such as: the environment of your town, square footage of your home, design, insulation levels, roof type, size and location of windows, sun exposure and the habits of and schedule of everyone inside the home.
We want to set you up with the air conditioner replacement that matches up with your home, and bigger isn’t always ideal. A system that is higher capacity than necessary could make a number of issues.
- It may cost you more money to operate.
- An oversized system doesn’t have to work as long so it will continually be warming up and cooling down, which causes more wear and tear on your air conditioner.
- A unit that doesn’t work as long also fails to dehumidify the air, which may diminish your comfort.
- If your system is too small, you’ll have trouble keeping your home at the set temperature.
Ensuring appropriate air flow is the key to your home’s comfort. A professional room by room load calculation will help to make sure that your air conditioner, ductwork and registers are all working in sync to keep you comfortable. Load calculation was once based exclusively on square footage, and while that is a portion of the puzzle, there are a number of variables we factor in to find the right products for your home.
