Sacramento’s Feeling Summer! Is Your AC Unit The Right Size for Your House? Call CES 24/7 For HVAC Installation, Repair & Maintenance Now!
With the consistently hot weather back in full force here in Sacramento, CA, homeowners throughout the area are doing whatever they can in order to create more comfortable indoor environments.
More often than not, this means taking a closer look at our cooling systems. Many California homes are characterized by dated air conditioning units that can benefit heavily from replacement, as today’s cooling systems are far more efficient than those of the past.
One of the biggest mistakes that people make, however, is assuming that bigger ACs are more effective.
Think bigger is better when it comes to air conditioning systems? Think again.
The Importance of “Right-sizing” an AC
It’s understandable why someone might assume that choosing the biggest possible AC unit is the best path towards keeping a home as cool as possible no matter how hot it gets outside.
While it’s true that larger AC units will cool a home faster, this is actually counterproductive. Many people don’t realize that one of the primary functions of any effective air conditioning system is to keep humidity levels low within a home—ideally under 60%.
For this to occur, however, the unit must run for long enough periods of time.
If the unit is too large, it will cool the home too quickly and shut off before it has a chance to regulate humidity issues.
Why is this a problem? Aside from the lack of efficiency and increased wear and tear on your AC, the presence of too much humidity in a home can lead to mold growth and mildew.
This can poorly affect indoor air quality and make your living environment unhealthy and uncomfortable.
Choosing a unit that is sized so that it can actually cycle the way it’s supposed to be the solution to this all-too-common problem, and CES can help.
