If you are thinking about buying a new air conditioner or looking closer at the performance of your present system, one of the first items to consider is a load calculation.
What exactly does that entail? Really, it comes down to making sure that you get correctly-sized system for your home. Getting the wrong size or type can have many implications from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it reduces its lifecycle.
Every home is unique; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are crucial considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It doesn’t make sense to buy an air conditioner that is more than what you need for your home. The equipment could cost more and you’ll be paying to use a system that is more than what’s required. Air conditioners also help to decrease humidity levels in the home and an oversized system can’t properly dehumidify the air which may also lead to poor indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that isn’t big enough and can’t to keep up. Not only does this effect the cooling of your home during the warmer times, but it’ll also make the unit run harder.
With a number of different models and sizes, it can be intimidating to know where to begin. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to take care of on your own. The Expert team at Becht/Givens Service Experts can give you 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 you’ll need. Any company that won’t provide this detailed analysis can’t appropriately provide an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even provide you the best more accurate price of a new system.
Not only does this assessment help figure out which system is best for you, but it will also help you receive the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to factor in utility costs when considering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can provide will have a positive impact on your family’s budget.
