The Truth About Air Conditioner Size and Efficiency
At Riley Heating & Cooling, we often encounter misconceptions about air conditioning systems. One of the most common myths we hear is that bigger AC units always cool better. Today, we’re here to debunk this myth and provide you with accurate information to help you make informed decisions about your home’s cooling system.
Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better
Many homeowners believe that installing a larger air conditioner will result in a cooler home. However, this isn’t necessarily true. Here’s why:
- Oversized units cycle on and off too frequently
- Short cycling leads to increased wear and tear
- Larger units may not effectively remove humidity
- Energy efficiency can be compromised
The Importance of Proper Sizing
When it comes to AC installation, proper sizing is crucial. A correctly sized air conditioner will:
- Maintain consistent temperatures
- Effectively control humidity levels
- Operate more efficiently, saving you money on energy bills
- Have a longer lifespan due to reduced wear and tear
