Since we\u2019re now looking toward\nwarmer weather, this is the right time of the year to begin considering a new\nair conditioning installation if your current one is more than 15 years old or\nhas shown other signs it\u2019s starting to wear down. High cooling costs, hot spots\naround the house, and noisy operation are all signs to make the leap to\ninstalling a new AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is the most important one. Instead of shopping around for options for the type of air conditioner you might need, or checking with friends to see if they know some guy who can do the job for cheap, pick up the phone and call us instead. When it comes to <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\/installation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">air conditioning installation in Malvern, PA<\/a>, you always want the best pros on the job from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Importance of HVAC Professionals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many reasons to only rely on experts for your AC\ninstallation. But from the start, you\u2019ll need them to help you find the ideal\nunit and size it correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sizing <\/em>is an essential part of AC installs and replacements.\nIt has nothing to do with the physical size of the unit. It means how much\ncooling power the unit can put out. In HVAC terms, we refer to this as <em>tonnage<\/em>.\nThe standard air conditioner in a house will have between 5 to 10 cooling tons,\ndepending on the needs of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where part of your mind will click on and think, \u201cWhat\u2019s\nso wrong about just going as large as affordable? Better to err on the larger\nsize.\u201d That\u2019s not how it works, however. Air conditioners that are oversized\nare as much a problem as ones that are undersized. Here\u2019s how it breaks down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Undersized: <\/strong>An air conditioner that\ncannot remove enough heat from the house to cool all of it will run almost\nconstantly. Not only will the house still be too warm, but the electrical bills\nwill be astronomical and the AC will run down early.<\/li><li><strong>Oversized:<\/strong> The air conditioner removes\nheat too fast so that the thermostat in the house registers that it\u2019s reached its\nset point before it has spread through the rest of the building. The thermostat\nshuts off the AC, only to turn back on again a short time later, then shut it\noff again, and over and over. This is called \u00ad<em>short-cycling<\/em>, and it wastes\npower and leads to an early system failure.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The secret to getting an air conditioner sized in the middle\nis something called a <em>load calculation<\/em>. This is a job your professional\ninstallers do before selecting an air conditioner unit and size. The\ncalculation determines how much heat the house needs based on various factors: insulation,\nheat-giving fixtures, number of people, window facing, etc. Once the\ncalculation is done, the professionals will know the exact size of central air\nconditioner to install so you\u2019ll enjoy cooling without energy waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Michall Daimion Heating &amp; Air Conditioning, Inc. is Main Line\u2019s Premier Service Provider since 1976. <a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Schedule air conditioning service with us today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to air conditioning installation, you always want the best pros on the job from the start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[40,88],"class_list":["post-412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-air-conditioning-system-installation","tag-malvern"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":415,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412\/revisions\/415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
