If you are thinking through getting a new air conditioner or looking in to the performance of your present system, one of the first things to ponder is a load calculation.
What exactly does that mean? Really, it comes down to being sure that you get correctly-sized system for your home. Purchasing the improper size or type can have a lot of consequences from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it decreases its lifespan.
Every home is different; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are key considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It isn’t the most wise to get an air conditioner that is larger than what’s required for your home. The equipment can cost more and you’ll be paying to use a system that is more than what’s required. Air conditioners also help to lower humidity levels in the home and an oversized system won’t be able to properly dehumidify the air which could also lead to poor indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too small and unable to keep up. Not only does this impact the cooling of your home during the warmer times, but it’ll also make the unit work harder.
With a number of different models and sizes, it can be overwhelming to know where to turn for answers. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to take care of on your own. The Expert team at A1 Chesney Service Experts can provide you with 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 decide the size and type of equipment needed. Any company that won’t provide this detailed analysis can’t properly provide 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 determine which system is best for you, but it will also help you see the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to think about utility costs when pondering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can give you will have a positive impact on your family’s budget. Our experts can walk you through what is needed to live comfortably in your home and share some tidbits on how to decrease energy usage through various features available.
