Why Is Proper Sizing So Important?

We should emphasize the importance of having technicians match your home with a cooling system with the correct capacity. Installing an air conditioning system that is too powerful for its space is as bad as installing one that is too weak.

An oversized air conditioner, too large for the volume of space it’s tasked to cool back down, is called “short-cycling.” This is a condition where the AC blower motor fails to complete the full cooling cycle that it’s supposed to. Instead, the compressor “short cycles,” starting and stopping in rapid succession. While you may believe that your air conditioner is being extra efficient, it is actually wearing down its components too rapidly, and you can expect a reduced system lifespan. 

On the other hand, if a cooling system is too weak for the space that it is cooling, it will not have the capacity to work for the short time it’s switched on and then off to cool off that space. This results in a system that is straining to reach the ideal temperature and raising energy costs.
