If you are thinking about purchasing a new air conditioner or taking a closer look at the performance of your current system, one of the first points to consider is a load calculation.
What exactly does that entail? Really, it comes down to making sure that you get an appropriately-sized system for your home. Purchasing the improper size or type can have a lot of implications from the inability to keep your house cool to operating so hard that it decreases its lifecycle.
Every home is different; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are crucial considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It isn’t wise to buy an air conditioner that is larger than what’s required for your home. The equipment could cost more and you’ll be paying to run a system that is more than what’s required. Air conditioners also help to lower humidity levels in the home and an oversized system can’t properly dehumidify the air which may also lead to decreased indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too small and isn’t able to keep up. Not only does this play a role in the cooling of your home during the warmer times, but it’ll also make the unit operate harder.
With hundreds of different models and sizes, it can be intimidating to know where to start. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to tackle on your own. The Expert team at R & M Climate Control Service Experts can offer a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation takes into account the home’s structure, roof, windows, direction and location to figure out the size and type of equipment needed. Any company that doesn’t provide this detailed analysis can’t correctly offer 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 decide which system is best for you, but it should also help you receive the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to think about utility costs when considering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can give you will have a positive influence on your family’s budget. Our experts can walk you through what you need to live comfortably in your home and share some thoughts on how to lower energy usage through a number of features available.
