What Happens if AC is Too Big?

There are some people that want to get the biggest and the best of everything and that goes into your appliances as well. That is why some go in and get the biggest AC that they can thinking that it will cool the house much faster. The reality is that there is a size of air conditioner that is best for the house that you are living in. If you have a unit that is too large there can be issues. The first is that the unit will run for a short amount of time and push air in the space quickly. Then the unit will shut off because the thermostat will think that the home is cooled down. This is what is referred to as short cycling and can be hard on the unit and will cause it to run out quicker. The other issue is that the home will have an unbalanced since it will not have time to fill the whole space.

How Do I Know if My AC is Undersized?

There are other people that are unprepared for replacing their air conditioning unit. This can be a big replacement cost that you need to be ready to take on because it is often a larger cost. This leads some to replacing the unit with one that is too small and will not work well for the home that you are living in. If the unit is too small it will have to work overtime and run for a long period of time to attempt to cool the home. This is hard on the unit and will burn it out. You want to make sure that you have a unit that is right for the home that you live in.

How Do I Calculate what Size Air Conditioner I Need?

The best thing that you can do is to make sure that you ask a professional about the unit and what you need in terms of size. They will take into account the needs of the home and especially the size of the home. They want to calculate the square footage and if you have a single unit or a double unit. You also take into account how many levels there are as well.
