With so many options available for air conditioning, homeowners need the expertise of heating and cooling experts to guide them to the best choice for their home.

Homeowners in Lincoln, NE, can rely on Absolute Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning to help them select, install, and maintain a new air conditioner unit that fits their needs. Whether you’re building a new home or equipping an older one with a new system, one of the most important considerations when installing a new air conditioner unit is size.

These are a few reasons your HVAC contractor should properly size your air conditioning unit:

• Comfort: Air conditioners are complex machines that perform two major functions: cooling and dehumidifying. Removing moisture from the air is a tougher task for a unit that is oversized, and it often will shut down before finishing the job. The result is a more humid and less comfortable environment.

• Wear And Tear: Frequent starting and stopping will cause damage to HVAC units over time; the ones that run longer will have a longer life span. Oversized units run for only short periods of time to meet their thermostat set-points, but run more frequently. This can lead to more repairs, and also could necessitate replacement sooner than you’d like.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Installing a smaller, appropriately sized air conditioner will save you money up front on the purchase price. Although your energy savings won’t differ much, your utility costs should decrease a bit.

The contractors at Absolute Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning will test your current system and base the selection of your new air conditioning unit on several factors in your home, including ceiling height and the type of insulation.

There are many air conditioning solutions available, including ductless air conditioners, window units, and central HVAC systems. The experts at Absolute Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning will outline your options and help you select the one that's best for you.
