What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?
If you are thinking about buying a new air conditioner or looking in to the performance of your present system, one of the first things to ponder is a load calculation.
What exactly does that mean? Really, it comes down to being sure that you get properly-sized system for your home. Buying the wrong size or type can have a variety of effects from the inability to keep your house cool to working so hard that it decreases its lifecycle.
Every home is distinct; 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 wise to get an air conditioner that is larger than what you need for your home. The equipment will 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 can’t properly dehumidify the air which may also lead to decreased indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too little and isn’t able to keep up. Not only does this impact 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 intimidating to know where to turn for answers. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to tackle on your own. The Expert team at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can give you 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 figure out the size and type of equipment needed. Any company that doesn’t provide this detailed analysis can’t appropriately offer 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 determine which system is best for you, but it will also help you receive the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to factor in utility costs when considering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can give you will have a positive impact on your family’s budget.
