Consider System Matching in Your Next Air Conditioner Replacement

April 13, 2015

To keep your home comfortable in the summer, you need an air conditioner. When it’s time for an air conditioner replacement, get ahold of the experienced pros at B & B Heating & Cooling to ensure your system is designed well, and properly matched size-wise with equipment that is designed to work together well. System matching is especially important if you are only buying one piece of a system so you can make sure any new component works hand-in-hand with the rest. While air conditioner replacement may not seem very fun, it can let you take your home comfort to the next level.

 

A Match Made in HVAC Heaven

B & B Heating & Cooling offers Lennox® air conditioners and heat pumps that are made to work in tandem with a correctly matched indoor unit. A properly matched system will help keep everything running efficiently when paired with an indoor furnace/evaporator coil or air handler. This means you’ll get the most comfort.

It’s crucial to be sure your dealer considers size with system matching. An HVAC system can only function at its best when it is sized properly to meet the specific needs of your home.

Considering Size

You may think that when it comes to the size of your air conditioner replacement, you only need to consider whether it’s too small to cool your entire home. However, an air conditioner that is too large for your home cycles on and off frequently. This perpetual cycling makes it difficult to dehumidify the air, leaving your home overly humid.

Undersized air conditioner replacements have the opposite problem. They have to run continuously in an effort to cool your home and may not be able to accomplish the task on some of the hottest summer days. You could end up paying more money for your monthly power bills, and your system will likely not last as long as an appropriately sized one.

So, how can you find the perfectly sized system for your home? It’s simple. Leave it to the experts at B & B Heating & Cooling in Florissant. We’ll make a house call to perform a load calculation that incorporates the square footage of your house, how well your windows are insulated, the amount of insulation in your walls and roof as well as many other factors.
