A comfortable house starts with the right sized air conditioning and heating units. Units that are too small or too large will not properly regulate the temperature of your home, leading to costly bills. Allen Service Company is an HVAC company servicing the Pell City, AL, area, and their technicians can help you find the proper units for your home.

Many homeowners will opt for larger air conditioning and heating units, thinking that a bigger unit will better regulate the temperature. However, an air conditioner or heater that’s too big for a room won’t cool or warm the space properly. An oversized air conditioner will often leave a house humid, clammy, and prone to mold, while a larger heater may have the opposite effect. To find an air conditioning or heating unit that’s just the right size for your living space, you need to consider your local climate, home insulation, and number of residents — in addition to the walls, flooring, ceiling, and window sizes.

Determining the correct size of your air conditioning or heating unit is no easy task. There are several factors to consider to find a system that will best benefit your home. While nothing can replace the sound advice of an experienced HVAC company, you can approximate the size of the air conditioner or heater by multiplying the square footage of your house (or a specific room) by 25, dividing that product by 12,000, and subtracting that amount by 0.5. The final number will be the estimate for the required tons you’ll need.
