If you are thinking about getting a new air conditioner or looking closer at the performance of your existing system, one of the first points to assess is a load calculation.
What exactly does that mean? Really, it comes down to making sure that you get an appropriately-sized system for your home. Purchasing the incorrect size or type can have a variety of implications from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it reduces 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 purchase an air conditioner that is more than what you need for your home. The equipment will cost more and you’ll be paying to operate a system that is more than what you need. Air conditioners also help to reduce humidity levels in the home and an oversized system won’t be able to properly dehumidify the air which may also lead to poor indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that isn’t big enough and isn’t able to keep up. Not only does this effect the cooling of your home during the warmer seasons, but it’ll also make the unit run harder.
With hundreds of different models and sizes, it can be intimidating to know where to begin. Lucky for you, this isn’t something you need to handle on your own. The Expert team at Orangutan Home Services 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 won’t provide this detailed analysis can’t appropriately give you an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even offer 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 can also help you see 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 provide will have a positive impact on your family’s budget. Our experts can walk you through what is needed to live comfortably in your home and share some thoughts on how to reduce energy usage through a variety of features available.
