What Size Unit?

Bigger Is Not Always Better

When it comes to air conditioned comfort, an oversized air conditioner does not mean cool comfort for you.

Why is an oversized air conditioner bad news?

An oversized unit runs up utility bills because it operates for shorter periods than it should and uses more electricity than a properly sized unit. Air conditioners operate more efficiently the longer they run continuously, and should be sized so they don't turn on and off frequently on hot days.

The purchase price is higher, and the unit will not last as long due to the wear and tear caused by constant on and off cycling. You get fewer years of service....and bad service besides.

An oversized unit will not de-humidify your house effectively because it runs for only short periods at a time. The indoor coil never gets cold enough to do its job of removing moisture from the air. Your house is left cold and clammy, especially in humid climates.

Oversized units are noisy. The bigger the air conditioner, the faster the air rushes through the ducts and grilles. Often the grilles are not designed for the larger unit, so the noise will get even louder as air tries to force its way through the small openings.
