Why A Bigger Air Conditioning System Isn’t Always Better

Generally, there are several reasons as to why a bigger air conditioner is not any better. Considering that size does not represent better performance or higher comfort level of the AC system. It is important to note that over-sized systems are associated with many problems. These include poor humidity control in the sense that, bigger air conditioning systems do an excellent job of pumping a lot of cold air into your house. However, this is done too fast. Meaning that your air conditioning system does not completely remove the humidity from the air since it does not run long enough. High level of humidity may thus result to increased growth of mold into your home.

UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM SIZING

Apart from poor control of humidity; it is worth noting that bigger AC systems may lead to poor distribution of air. They also create uneven temperatures throughout your home or house. The farthest rooms in your home may not get enough sufficient cool air when your AC system short cycles. This is simply because the unit does not run long enough for it to move all the air through the process of cooling. In addition to that, a bigger AC unit is more expensive in numerous ways.

For instance, it is more expensive to buy. It involves hard excessive cycling which can lead to many repair and replacement issues. You may have to reduce your thermostat so as to handle excessive humidity in your home. It also uses a lot of energy compared to a smaller AC unit that runs for longer periods. Furthermore, larger AC units usually push around a bigger volume of air. This may make your ducts not able to handle the increased flow of air, hence reduced efficiency and more noise.
