How a Professional Helps Determine The Right Size For Your HVAC Unit

03 May How a Professional Helps Determine The Right Size For Your HVAC Unit

Kingsport, TN

A new air conditioning unit can bring exceptional benefits to your home or business: energy efficiency, improved indoor air quality, greater comfort and lower energy bills. However, the size of the unit you choose matters just as much as its energy efficiency will be. Read on as we explore the importance of size when choosing the right HVAC in Kingsport, and how the professionals at Thompson Electrical Service can assist in this process.

The size of the unit impacts its efficiency, performance and longevity

Installing an HVAC of the proper size reduces the strain on your new system, prevents premature breakdowns and ensures that your space will be cooled properly. As you can imagine, having an HVAC of the proper size saves you time, hassle and money, while also ensuring a comfortable temperature. Your cooling contractor in Johnson City will work with you to determine the right-sized unit to cool your home or office.

Choose a unit that is too big, and it can cause a phenomenon known as “short-cycling”, which simply means that the unit is frequently turning itself on and off, as it’s over-cooling your space. Having this larger unit creates higher power bills for you because it requires more electricity to run. An undersized unit, on the other hand, is constantly on and is working overtime to try to meet your cooling needs. This leads to increased consumption of energy, inefficient operation, and higher energy bills as well. The old adage that size matters is absolutely true.

The value of professional expertise

The certified HVAC experts at Thompson Electrical Service will perform a “heat-gain calculation” for you as part of their assessment, to help determine the appropriate size for the cooling unit you eventually choose for your space.

This specialized measurement takes into consideration:

1. The size of your home or office
2. The amount of insulation in your walls or attic
3. The size and location of your windows and doors
4. How your property is physically situated relative to daily sunlight
