Once you have professional air conditioning installation completed, you will likely never think about it being there again. On the other hand, if the new air conditioner was installed incorrectly, it’s more likely than not that you will encounter various problems, and could regret the air conditioning installation altogether. In fact, according to a recent NIST study, you could see your utility bill spike as much as 30% if the air conditioner is installed improperly, and you could face numerous and pricey repairs, or even a complete failure of the entire AC unit. Keeping a few simple tips in mind will make sure that your air conditioner installation is done right the first time.
Air conditioners come in a variety of sizes that must be accurately designed for each individual home. Choosing the proper size air conditioner is one of the first, and most important steps you’ll make in making sure you get optimum performance out of your air conditioner. Buying a bigger AC system than your home calls for won’t raise its efficiency and could end up costing more in the end. However, buying a smaller system than you need won’t save you money either. To determine the correct size air conditioner that is an appropriate fit for your home, the AC contractor must perform a heating and cooling load calculation. This important assessment takes into account the home’s unique area of windows, roofs and walls and calculates the proper size air conditioner the home requires.
Restricted airflow is another very prevalent problem that can occur when air conditioning installation has been completed improperly. It can be caused by leaky ducts or blockages within the system. This means that only a reduced amount of the air getting pushed through your AC system is reaching your home, resulting in the air conditioner running harder and longer than it should.
Prolonged improper use of your air conditioner could turn into an early system failure. That’s why the most important thing you can do to make sure you don’t find yourself faced with any of these problems is to hire an air conditioning installation expert from Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning to complete your air conditioning installation quickly and professionally.
