A good contractor will not
– Size your equipment solely on square footage
– Assume your existing equipment was sized properly

Department of Energy***
– It is the contractor’s job to perform the correct sizing calculation for the home.

Problems Caused By Incorrect Sizing
Over sized
(shorter run time)
  • Higher installation costs
  • More breakdowns
  • Large temperature swings
  • Improper Humidity Control
Undersized
(longer run time)
  • Constantly Running
  • Higher Energy Costs
  • Shorter Life
  • Reduced Comfort

Equipment alone will not solve all the problems!

The North Carolina Alternative Energy Corporation, a non-profit organization, examined air conditioning manufacturers’ efficiencies versus the actual efficiencies that resulted after installation; they found the following:
90% of the units tested exhibited some sort of energy-wasting, comfort-robbing problem! You Will Be in the Top 10%
Other significant hvac industry comfort & energy related surveys reveal*
Duct Leakage (93%)
* Poor indoor air quality
* Health and safety concerns
* Drafts and uneven temperature
* May DOUBLE hvac portion of the energy bill
Oversizing (47%)
* Doesn’t run enough to wring out moisture
* Air in sunlit & shaded rooms does not mix
* Equipment typically noisier
* Shorter equipment life
Incorrect Refrigerant Charge (75%)
* Increased failure rate
* Reduced moisture removal
* Equipment typically noisier
* Uneven temperature
* Could add as much as 17% to operating costs
Incorrect Air Flow (70%)
* Uneven temperatures
* Poor moisture control
* Noisy grilles and registers
* Could add as much as 10% to operating costs

*Texas A&M University, Louisiana State University & Gulf States Utility, Lakeland Electric & Water, Pacific Gas & Electric, American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, etc. These studies address at least one problem a poor installation plays on comfort or energy cost. Occurrences have been averaged.
