What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?

If you are thinking through purchasing a new air conditioner or looking in to the performance of your current system, one of the first points to assess is a load calculation. 

What exactly does that mean? Basically, it comes down to ensuring that you get an appropriately-sized system for your home. Getting the improper size or type can have many effects from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it reduces 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 could cost more and you’ll be paying to operate a system that is more than what’s required. Air conditioners also help to reduce humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not properly dehumidify the air which may also lead to decreased indoor air quality

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

With a number of different models and sizes, it can be a bear to know where to turn for answers. Luckily, this isn’t something you need to take care of on your own. The Expert team at Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing can provide you with a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation includes factors like the home’s structure, roof, windows, direction and location to determine the size and type of equipment you’ll need. Any company that does not provide this detailed analysis can’t correctly offer an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even offer you the best more accurate price of a new system. 

Not only does this assessment help figure out which system is best for you, but it will also help you receive the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to include utility costs when pondering your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can give you will have a positive impact on your family’s budget. Our experts can walk you through what you need to live comfortably in your home and share some tidbits on how to reduce energy usage through various features available.
