What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?

If you are considering getting a new air conditioner or looking in to the performance of your current system, one of the first items to consider is a load calculation. 

What exactly does that entail? Really, it comes down to being sure that you get properly-sized system for your home. Purchasing the wrong size or type can have many consequences from the inability to keep your house cool to working so hard that it lowers its life. 

Every home is unique; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are key considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It isn’t the most wise to purchase an air conditioner that is more than what’s required for your home. The equipment can cost more and you’ll be paying to run a system that is more than what you need. Air conditioners also help to lower humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not properly dehumidify the air which can also lead to bad indoor air quality. 

You also don’t want a model that is too little and can’t to keep up. Not only does this play a role in the cooling of your home during the warmer seasonal temperatures, but it’ll also make the unit run tougher. 

With a variety of different models and sizes, it can be a bear to know where to begin. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to handle on your own.
