What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?
If you are thinking through buying a new air conditioner or looking closer at the performance of your current system, one of the first things to consider is a load calculation.
What exactly does that entail? Basically, it comes down to being sure that you get correctly-sized system for your home. Purchasing the wrong size or type can have many implications from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it lowers its lifespan.
Every home is unique; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are crucial considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It doesn’t make sense to buy 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 lower humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not properly dehumidify the air which could also lead to decreased indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too small and can’t to keep up. Not only does this play a role in the cooling of your home during the warmer seasonal temperatures, but it’ll also make the unit work 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 tackle on your own. The Expert team at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can provide you with 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 figure out the size and type of equipment needed. Any company that won’t provide this detailed analysis can’t correctly provide 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 determine 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 think about utility costs when considering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can provide will have a positive impact on your family’s budget.
