As the rest of the country braces for winter, Texas is finally cooling down from summer, making it a great time to shop for a new AC system. When you’re in the market, it’s tempting to go with the best price you can find. But choosing an AC without professional guidance can end up costing you more in the long run.
Proper sizing is critical. Cooling capacity is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units), and getting that number right requires a professional assessment of your home.
What If the AC Is Too Small?
An undersized system will run continuously trying to reach your desired temperature but never quite get there. This puts excessive strain on the compressor and can lead to premature system failure.
What If the AC Is Too Large?
An oversized system cools too quickly and shuts off before it can adequately remove humidity from the air. This rapid on-and-off cycling, known as short cycling, accelerates wear on the system and shortens its lifespan.
What Goes Into Sizing an AC?
Our technicians determine the right system size by evaluating several factors:
- Type of home construction and insulation
- Number, size, and placement of windows and doors
- Number of occupants
- Shade coverage around the home
Getting these calculations right is not a job for an amateur. Proper AC installation requires trained, experienced technicians.
