If you are thinking through getting a new air conditioner or looking in to the performance of your existing system, one of the first items to assess is a load calculation.
What exactly does that include? Really, it comes down to ensuring that you get properly-sized system for your home. Purchasing the wrong size or type can have a lot of consequences from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it reduces its life.
Every home is different; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are important considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It isn’t the most 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 you need. Air conditioners also help to decrease humidity levels in the home and an oversized system won’t be able to properly dehumidify the air which can also lead to bad indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too little and unable 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 work tougher.
With a variety of different models and sizes, it can be intimidating to know where to start. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to take care of on your own. The Expert team at Air Engineers Service Experts can give you 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 properly 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 determine which system is best for you, but it should also help you see the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to include utility costs when considering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can give you will have a positive impact on your family’s budget.
