If you are considering buying a new air conditioner or looking in to the performance of your existing system, one of the first items to ponder is a load calculation.
What exactly does that include? Really, it comes down to ensuring that you get properly-sized system for your home. Getting the improper size or type can have a variety of consequences from the inability to keep your house cool to working so hard that it reduces its lifecycle.
Every home is unique; 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 get an air conditioner that is larger than what’s required for your home. The equipment could cost more and you’ll be paying to use a system that is more than what’s needed. Air conditioners also help to reduce humidity levels in the home and an oversized system can’t properly dehumidify the air which can also lead to bad indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too small and unable to keep up. Not only does this impact the cooling of your home during the warmer seasons, but it’ll also make the unit run tougher.
With hundreds of different models and sizes, it can be overwhelming to know where to turn for answers. Luckily, this isn’t something you need to handle on your own. The Expert team at Rolf Griffin Service Experts can give you a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation takes into account the home’s structure, roof, windows, direction and location to decide the size and type of equipment needed. Any company that doesn’t provide this detailed analysis can’t appropriately provide an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even give 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 can also help you see the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to include utility costs when making your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can give you will have a positive effect on your family’s budget.
