The Truth About Air Conditioner Sizing

At Sabre Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we often encounter misconceptions about HVAC systems. One of the most prevalent myths we’d like to address today is the belief that bigger air conditioners are always better. This couldn’t be further from the truth, and here’s why:

Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better

1. Energy Efficiency: Oversized air conditioners tend to cycle on and off more frequently, leading to increased energy consumption and higher utility bills.

2. Humidity Control: Properly sized units run longer cycles, allowing them to remove more moisture from the air. Oversized units cool too quickly, leaving excess humidity and creating a clammy environment.

3. Wear and Tear: Frequent cycling of oversized units can lead to premature system failure and increased maintenance needs.

4. Uneven Cooling: An oversized AC may cool some areas quickly while leaving others warmer, resulting in temperature inconsistencies throughout your home.

The Importance of Proper Sizing

When it comes to AC installation, the key is finding the right size for your specific needs. Factors to consider include:

– Home size and layout
