What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?
If you are thinking about getting a new air conditioner or looking in to the performance of your present system, one of the first items to consider is a load calculation.
What exactly does that entail? Essentially, it comes down to being sure that you get correctly-sized system for your home. Getting the incorrect size or type can have many implications from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it reduces 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 buy an air conditioner that is more than needed for your home. The equipment can cost more and you’ll be paying to run a system that is more than what’s required. 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 isn’t able to keep up. Not only does this impact the cooling of your home during the warmer seasons, 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 begin. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to take care of 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 factors in the home’s structure, roof, windows, direction and location to determine the size and type of equipment you’ll 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 determine which system is best for you, but it will 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 give you will have a positive influence on your family’s budget. Our team can walk you through what you’ll need to live comfortably in your home and share some tidbits on how to reduce energy usage through a number of features available.
