What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?
If you are thinking through purchasing a new air conditioner or looking in to the performance of your current system, one of the first items to ponder is a load calculation.
What exactly does that mean? Really, it comes down to ensuring that you get properly-sized system for your home. Buying the wrong size or type can have many consequences from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it lowers its lifecycle.
Every home is different; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are key considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It isn’t the most wise to get an air conditioner that is bigger than needed for your home. The equipment can cost more and you’ll be paying to operate a system that is more than what’s required. Air conditioners also help to reduce humidity levels in the home and an oversized system can’t properly dehumidify the air which could also lead to bad indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too little and unable to keep up. Not only does this impact the cooling of your home during the warmer seasonal temperatures, but it’ll also make the unit operate tougher.
With hundreds of different models and sizes, it can be a bear to know where to start. Luckily, this isn’t something you need to tackle on your own. The Expert team at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can offer a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation takes into account 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 properly offer an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even give you the best more accurate price of a new system.
Not only does this assessment help decide which system is best for you, but it can also help you get the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to include utility costs when making your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can provide will have a positive influence on your family’s budget.
