Bigger may be better when it comes to many things, but air conditioners are not among them. In fact, an oversized air conditioner presents several problems. In today’s post, local HVAC installation company ACS Air Conditioning Systems takes a look at what happens when you choose an oversized air conditioner.
A new air conditioner has to be sized just right for your home — neither too big or too small. Before HVAC technicians can recommend an AC model, they must first calculate the total floor area of all the living spaces in the house. The air conditioner has to be able to meet the house’s basic cooling needs. Choose one that’s too small and it will need to be run at full capacity more often. The constant strain on the AC unit will cause frequent breakdowns, and perhaps even a premature failure. The cost of HVAC repairs can put a significant dent in your budget.
Going the other way and choosing an oversized conditioner can present its own set of problems.
