What is an Air Conditioning Load Calculation?

If you are considering buying a new air conditioner or looking closer at the performance of your existing system, one of the first items to consider is a load calculation. 

What exactly does that include? Really, it comes down to ensuring that you get an appropriately-sized system for your home. Buying the incorrect size or type can have a lot of consequences from the inability to keep your house cool to running so hard that it lowers its life. 

Every home is distinct; home size, number of windows and type, insulation and even the direction the home faces are important considerations. Bigger isn’t always better. It doesn’t make sense to get an air conditioner that is bigger than needed for your home. The equipment will cost more and you’ll be paying to use a system that is more than what’s required. Air conditioners also help to lower humidity levels in the home and an oversized system will not properly dehumidify the air which can also lead to bad indoor air quality. 

You also don’t want a model that is too little and isn’t able to keep up. Not only does this effect the cooling of your home during the warmer seasons, but it’ll also make the unit run harder. 

With a variety of different models and sizes, it can be a bear to know where to turn for answers. Lucky for you, this isn’t something you need to tackle on your own. The Expert team at Winnipeg Supply Service Experts can offer a full load calculation assessment on your home. The heating and cooling load calculation factors in the home’s structure, roof, windows, direction and location to determine the size and type of equipment you need. Any company that does not provide this detailed analysis can’t appropriately give you an accurate quote for the replacement of your air conditioner or even give you the best more accurate price of a new system. 

Not only does this assessment help decide which system is best for you, but it should also help you receive the extra savings of high-efficiency products. You may not think to factor in utility costs when making your budget, but researching more efficient air conditioners and what it can provide will have a positive effect on your family’s budget. Our team can walk you through what you need to live comfortably in your home and share some tidbits on how to reduce energy usage through a variety of features available.
