What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?
If you are thinking about purchasing a new air conditioner or looking closer at the performance of your current system, one of the first points to consider is a load calculation.
What exactly does that entail? Basically, it comes down to being sure that you get properly-sized system for your home. Purchasing the incorrect size or type can have a variety of consequences from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it reduces its lifecycle.
Every home is unique; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are key considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It doesn’t make sense to get an air conditioner that is larger than what you need for your home. The equipment could cost more and you’ll be paying to run a system that is more than what’s needed. Air conditioners also help to decrease humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not 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 unable to keep up. Not only does this effect the cooling of your home during the warmer seasonal temperatures, but it’ll also make the unit operate more.
With a variety of different models and sizes, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to handle on your own. The Expert team at Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing can give you a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation includes factors like the home’s structure, roof, windows, direction and location to figure out the size and type of equipment you’ll need. Any company that doesn’t provide this detailed analysis can’t correctly 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 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 offer will have a positive influence on your family’s budget.
