What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?

If you are considering getting a new air conditioner or taking a closer look at the performance of your current system, one of the first points to ponder is a load calculation. 

What exactly does that entail? Basically, it comes down to making sure that you get an appropriately-sized system for your home. Buying the improper size or type can have a variety of effects from the inability to keep your house cool to working so hard that it lowers its lifespan. 

Every home is different; 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 wise to get an air conditioner that is bigger than needed 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 won’t be able to properly dehumidify the air which may also lead to bad indoor air quality

You also don’t want a model that isn’t big enough and can’t to keep up. Not only does this effect the cooling of your home during the warmer seasons, but it’ll also make the unit run more. 

With a variety of different models and sizes, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Luckily, this isn’t something you need to take care of on your own. The Expert team at Stevenson Service Experts can offer 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 need. Any company that doesn’t provide this detailed analysis can’t properly provide an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even give you the best more accurate price of a new system. 

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

Whether you need a new air conditioning system or looking to boost your home’s efficiency and comfort level, the professionals at Stevenson Service Experts in Columbus are happy to help. You can call us at 614-334-3192 or easily request an appointment with our online scheduler
