What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?
If you are thinking through buying a new air conditioner or taking a closer look at 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 making sure that you get properly-sized system for your home. Buying the incorrect size or type can have a lot of implications from the inability to keep your house cool to working so hard that it decreases its lifespan.
Every home is different; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are key considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It isn’t the most wise to get an air conditioner that is bigger than needed for your home. The equipment could cost more and you’ll be paying to use a system that is more than what you need. Air conditioners also help to reduce humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not properly dehumidify the air which can also lead to decreased indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too little and unable to keep up. Not only does this effect the cooling of your home during the warmer times, but it’ll also make the unit work tougher.
With a number of different models and sizes, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. Luckily, this isn’t something you need to tackle on your own. The Expert team at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can offer 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 determine the size and type of equipment you need. Any company that doesn’t provide this detailed analysis can’t properly offer an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even provide you the best more accurate price of a new system.
Not only does this assessment help figure out which system is best for you, but it should also help you get the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to factor in utility costs when making your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can offer will have a positive influence on your family’s budget. Our professionals can walk you through what you’ll need to live comfortably in your home and share some thoughts on how to lower energy usage through various features available.
