What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?
If you are considering getting a new air conditioner or taking a closer look at the performance of your current system, one of the first things to consider is a load calculation.
What exactly does that mean? Really, it comes down to being sure that you get an appropriately-sized system for your home. Purchasing the improper size or type can have a variety of effects from the inability to keep your house cool to operating so hard that it reduces its lifecycle.
Every home is distinct; 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 wise to purchase an air conditioner that is larger than what’s required for your home. The equipment will cost more and you’ll be paying to run a system that is more than what you need. Air conditioners also help to reduce humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not properly dehumidify the air which can also lead to decreased indoor air quality.
You also don’t want a model that is too little and isn’t able 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 tougher.
With hundreds of different models and sizes, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. Lucky for you, this isn’t something you need to handle on your own. The Expert team at Coastal Service Experts can provide you with 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 decide the size and type of equipment you’ll need. Any company that does not provide this detailed analysis can’t correctly give you 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 figure out which system is best for you, but it will also help you receive the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to include utility costs when considering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can give you will have a positive influence on your family’s budget. Our professionals can walk you through what you’ll need to live comfortably in your home and share some ideas on how to reduce energy usage through a variety of features available.
