If you are thinking through getting a new air conditioner or looking closer at the performance of your current system, one of the first items to assess is a load calculation.
What exactly does that entail? Really, it comes down to making sure that you get properly-sized system for your home. Purchasing the improper size or type can have a lot of implications from the inability to keep your house cool to working so hard that it lowers 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 more than what you need for your home. The equipment could cost more and you’ll be paying to operate a system that is more than what’s required. Air conditioners also help to reduce humidity levels in the home and an oversized system won’t be able to properly dehumidify the air which can also lead to poor indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that isn’t big enough 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 run more.
With a variety of different models and sizes, it can be overwhelming to know where to turn for answers. Luckily, this isn’t something you need to tackle on your own. The Expert team at Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air can provide you with a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation factors in the home’s structure, roof, windows, direction and location to figure out the size and type of equipment you’ll need. Any company that does not provide this detailed analysis can’t properly give you an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even offer you the best more accurate price of a new system.
Not only does this assessment help decide 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 think about utility costs when pondering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can give you will have a positive effect on your family’s budget.
