The Truth About AC Efficiency: Debunking the “Bigger is Better” Myth

Size Doesn’t Always Matter in Air Conditioning

At Anderson Bros, we often encounter homeowners who believe that a larger air conditioning unit will automatically lead to better cooling and efficiency. Today, we’re here to debunk this common myth and shed light on the importance of proper AC sizing for optimal performance.

The Myth: Bigger AC Units Are Always Better

Many people assume that purchasing an oversized air conditioner will:

  • Cool their home faster
  • Provide more powerful cooling
  • Increase energy efficiency

The Truth: Proper Sizing is Key

Contrary to popular belief, an oversized AC unit can actually lead to several problems:

  1. Short cycling: The unit turns on and off frequently, reducing efficiency and increasing wear and tear.
  2. Inadequate dehumidification: Larger units cool quickly but don’t run long enough to remove excess humidity.
  3. Higher energy bills: Frequent starts and stops consume more energy than steady operation.
  4. Uneven cooling: Some areas may become too cold while others remain warm.

The Solution: Professional AC Installation

To ensure optimal cooling and efficiency, it’s crucial to have a professional HVAC technician perform a load calculation for your home. This assessment takes into account factors such as:

  • Home size and layout
  • Insulation quality
  • Number of windows and their orientation
  • Local climate conditions

At Anderson Bros, our experienced technicians in Gibbon, Grand Island, Holdrege, Kearney, Lexington, and Minden, NE, are equipped to provide accurate load calculations and recommend the perfect AC unit for your home.

Don’t fall for the “bigger is better” myth. Trust the experts at Anderson Bros to help you achieve optimal comfort and efficiency with the right-sized air conditioning system for your home.
