We have all heard the phase, bigger isn’t always better. But did you know this applies to air conditioner units, too? Some shady contractors install over-sized air conditioning units to increase profits and avoid claims of insufficient cooling. But what a homeowner or business owner may not know is this could to lead to an inefficient dehumidification process. The result would be a cool but clammy house. And, when this happens, homeowners tend to turn down their thermostats and keep the much colder than it needs to be.
How does this work? The answer is simple. If the air conditioning unit is too big, the house cools off too quickly. Because of this, not enough air runs through the evaporator coil in the furnace to dehumidify the air. A bigger air conditioning unit in this case means more money to run an inefficient system.
To avoid costly mistakes, a trusted HVAC contractor and installer is critical when replacing your air heating and cooling unit. Calculations based on several factors are taken into account to design the correct HVAC system for the most efficient and comfortable result. There are also two-stage variable-speed ac units which can adapt to the cooling and dehumidifying needs of almost any situation.
