Buying an air conditioner is a science. It’s not mere guesswork or estimation. Just because you bought the latest or most energy-efficient AC, doesn’t mean you made the right choice. One of the most important factors to consider is the size of the unit that fits your home’s cooling needs.
Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is your trusted HVAC company in Minnetonka MN. We offer an array of cooling systems designed by one of the best names in the industry: Lennox
Overview of AC Sizing
Central air conditioning sizing is the process of picking a unit with the proper level of cooling power for your home. It involves an evaluation of your home’s cooling needs to determine the power of AC needed to condition your living space.
Here’s how it works: the technician will evaluate your home and determine its ability to prevent heat from entering and how much heat is trapped inside. This process allows the technician to determine how much air conditioning is needed to cool it. Factors that are taken into consideration include:
- The size of the house
- Type, number, and facing of windows
- Type and quality of insulation
- Number of occupants
- The heat generated from lights and heat sources
- Your region’s weather conditions
When all these things have been identified, the technician will have a definite idea of what size of air conditioner will provide you with maximum comfort without having to waste energy and shortening the unit’s lifespan.
Benefits
The meticulous work of sizing your AC will yield both short-term and long-term benefits.
A correctly sized AC system will provide the right amount of cooled air into your living space, allowing your family to stay comfortable even during the hottest days of summer. You’ll have peaceful nights, too!
A properly sized cooling system will cool your home more quickly and easily. Your energy costs will decrease significantly each month, and maintenance costs will be kept to a minimum.
Also, the right air conditioner won’t have to run with excessive noise and added pressure because it operates according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
