It’s May, which means it’s getting hotter and hotter every day. They finally break and decide to kick on the A/C to cool down the house. As they sit in the living room, they notice that the temperature hasn’t changed much at all.
As they check the thermostat, they see that it’s set to cool and on auto. They can also hear it working, but the temperature reads 78 degrees when they set it to 72 degrees. What does this mean?
New air conditioner installation
They talked about the signs that they should look for in an A/C unit that needs replacing
If they have recently called an HVAC company to come and repair the system, chances are they may need a new air conditioner installation.
In one of the previous blogs, they talked about the signs that they should look for in an A/C unit that needs replacing. If any of the signs in that blog sound familiar, it may be time for an air conditioner replacement.
Air conditioner replacement
When considering getting an air conditioner replacement, it’s important to make sure that they select the proper size for the home. Not doing so will affect the indoor air quality of the home in an adverse way, as well as cause other issues.
One problem they will run into if they don’t select a properly sized air conditioner is high energy costs and low functionality. When choosing the right size air conditioner, they should take the following into consideration:
- The type of insulation used in the home.
- The type of windows and screens.
- Any air leakage.
- The roofing on the home.
- The directions the windows face.
Best and most efficient air conditioner
Knowing these factors about the home will help them choose the best and most efficient air conditioner for the home. But what happens if they buy a system that is too big?
As they have talked about inefficiency, not having the proper size unit will contribute to this. This is because it will run like an older, 80s-style unit that will turn on quickly and cool the house as well, but then shut off.
Because the system isn’t completing its cycle, hot air will begin to seep into the home, and it will kick on once again, rather than maintain a cycle and a comfortable temperature. Stay tuned to the next blog, and be sure to contact Premier Heating and Air for the HVAC services.
