Springtime is officially here, and soon enough temperatures will start soaring. This means you want to make sure that your air conditioner is well prepared for the heat. In most cases, this means ensuring that you have professional maintenance done. Maintenance allows our technicians to thoroughly inspect, clean, and adjust components of your cooling system. All of this helps it work as effectively and efficiently as possible!<\/p>\n
In some cases, though, this is the time of year that homeowners realize they need a new <\/em>air conditioner. If you\u2019re one of these folks, you may be tempted to go out and buy the biggest air conditioner you can find within your budget.<\/p>\n We really want to discourage you from doing this though, as bigger does not always equal better. In fact, an air conditioner that\u2019s too large can be more detrimental to system efficiency than one that\u2019s too small. And that\u2019s what you should know about central AC installation\u2014that size matters!<\/p>\n Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n As you probably already understand, an undersized air conditioner, also referred to as an underpowered <\/em>air conditioner, won\u2019t be able to keep up with the desired temperature on your thermostat. As a result, your air conditioner will be forced to run longer than it should have to, and therefore inefficiently. This will create exacerbated wear and tear and even shorten the lifespan of the system.<\/p>\n Additionally, an undersized air conditioner simply can\u2019t keep your household comfortable as you would like. During one of the hottest days of the year\u2014of which we have a lot of around here\u2014you probably get why this is problematic. It\u2019s best to ensure that you have a properly sized air conditioner installed. But like we said above, bigger isn\u2019t necessarily better!<\/p>\n An oversized\u2014a.k.a overpowered\u2014air conditioner is a problem that not many homeowners are familiar with. Sure, you might think that an oversized air conditioner is better at keeping a household cooled down, but it actually will operate quite inefficiently. This is because optimal AC efficiency occurs through continued operation and regular cycles.<\/p>\n When a cooling system is <\/em>too large for the home, the desired temperature on your thermostat will be reached too <\/em>fast, before your system even has the opportunity to complete a full cooling cycle. This problem is known as short-cycling. <\/em><\/p>\n Short-cycling isn\u2019t something you ever want your air conditioner (or heater) to go through. Not only is this inefficient, but it also causes strain on the system and exacerbates wear and tear. The only way to \u201cfix\u201d this kind of problem\u2014that is, short-cycling due to incorrect system sizing\u2014is to replace the system altogether\u2014which is understandably a premature expense you don\u2019t want to incur if unnecessary, right?<\/p>\n When you’re reading for your air conditioner installation, look no further than our team.
