DANGERS OF HAVING AN AIR CONDITIONER THAT IS THE WRONG SIZE | Got cool, clammy air?
An air conditioner that is too big for the office will cool it too quickly. The building won’t have a chance to dehumidify, leaving it feeling too cool and clammy. A system that is too big is likely to short-cycle, meaning it will turn on and off too quickly causing unnecessary wear and tear. Short-cycling is a sure way to run down the system prematurely. It will turn on and off all the time.
The opposite problem, a system that is too small, will leave the occupants short on comfort and WAY TOO long on energy use. This system that is under-built will run too often in an effort to meet the cooling needs. Sizing is super important during the air conditioning installation process for our team at Total Comfort Solutions.
No matter if it is a retrofit to an existing system or an addition into a new space in the building, make sure a proper load calculation is completed.
