How big an air conditioner do you need for your home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may find this a strange question. Obviously, you want an air conditioner that will fit<\/em> where it\u2019s supposed to go. But the \u201csize\u201d of an air conditioner isn\u2019t about the amount of space it takes up. It\u2019s the amount of cooling it can put out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the right system for your AC installation in West Chester, PA<\/a> is more complicated than just picking a system you think is powerful enough to keep your house cool. A home needs a specific size air conditioner, one that\u2019s neither too small or too large. Yes, too large is a problem, and far too many amateurs make the mistake of putting in an air conditioner that\u2019s too powerful for the home it\u2019s supposed to keep comfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Too Small and Too Big Are Bad News<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An air conditioner that\u2019s not powerful enough to cool your home obviously isn\u2019t an AC you want. It may get a few rooms comfortable, but it won\u2019t be able to evenly cool the entire house and it will run and run trying to hit a goal it can\u2019t possibly reach. This means huge energy waste and a house that isn\u2019t comfortable enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oversized air conditioner brings its own set of problems that amateurs often don\u2019t consider. You can\u2019t just run the AC lower to compensate when it\u2019s too powerful. The trouble is that this oversized AC will lower the temperature at the center of the house so rapidly that the thermostat will mistakenly register that the cooling cycle is done. It will shut the cooling cycle off early, and the AC will restart soon after and repeat the process. This is called short-cycling<\/em> and it puts a huge strain on the air conditioner\u2019s components and wastes immense amounts of electricity because the start-up cycle requires the most power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way to \u201cfix\u201d an oversized or undersized air conditioner is to replace it, so you want to avoid these mistakes from the start. Going with experienced HVAC pros is the best way to ensure you have the right sized AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How We Correctly Size an AC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we install a central air conditioner, we go through a special process to size the new AC. We use a calculation to determine the necessary cooling \u201cload\u201d for the house. This calculation factors in the house size, the insulation, the number of heat-generating appliances, the number of lights, the sun exposure through windows, and the number of people in the house. From there, we can determine how many \u201ctons\u201d of cooling the AC must be. In most homes, it\u2019s from 3 to 10 tons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
