What Size Air Conditioner Do You Really Need?
August 9, 2011
This is the time of year that home owners ask
"Is the AC unit that I have big enough to cool my home?".
Proper Installation is Key
The HVAC system in your home may not have been sized properly for your home. Also, proper installation is key to peak performance.
Considerations for Determining Unit Size
- Number and size of windows
- Square footage
- Entry doors
- Air flow and leakage
- Ceiling height
- Number of floors
- Ductwork condition
- Kitchen and bath locations
- Roof pitch
- Insulation
- Homeowner concerns
All of the components listed above go into making the correct decision for the size of the HVAC equipment for a home. Each home is different and each homeowner has unique concerns.
Lifestyle plays an imporant role in the process as well. Family allergies, areas that are currently too cool or too warm, or pets in the home, are examples of issues that will factor in determining the best solution for your HVAC system design.
