What Size AC System Do I Need?

As air conditioning systems get “up there” in years, they gradually lose cooling power along with energy efficiency. When that time comes, it’s easy to forget how well it performed in the beginning. All you know for sure is that yours needs to be replaced. Or, maybe you’re ready to have central AC installed for the first time.

Either way, you can count on C&D Cooling & Heating to properly size your system for the maximum in home comfort and energy savings.

An over-sized system, for example, will frequently cycle on and off, thus leading to added wear and tear, higher operating costs, and a shorter system lifespan.

Under-sizing is equally troublesome.  It causes an AC system to run longer to properly cool your home. Different mistake, same end results, and none of them desirable.

Here at C&D, we take multiple factors into account to ensure your system is properly sized.  These include:

  • Size, shape, and orientation of the house
  • Ceiling height
  • Amount and placement of insulation
  • Window size, location, and type
  • The number and ages of occupants
  • Occupant comfort preferences
  • How much heat is generated indoors by cooking, appliance operation, incandescent light bulbs, computer and gaming equipment, and more

So, to ensure you get the right size and type of AC system for your home, contact C&D today for a free in-home comfort consultation and new system proposal. We’re your local and complete heating and cooling resource.
