Expert HVAC Contractors in Bradford, ON

In the next few days we'll talk to you about some common myths about air conditioners. Let's start with the first myth MYTH: Bigger Air Conditioners Cool Homes More Efficiently Than Smaller Ones. Reality: Contrary to common belief, an oversized unit can cause short bursts of cold air, leading to frequent cycling on and off. This happens because the thermostat is tricked into shutting down the HVAC system before the entire house is adequately cooled. This inefficiency wastes extra cooling capacity, resulting in higher energy bills. Additionally, frequent cycling prevents proper moisture removal and increases wear and tear on the unit, reducing its efficiency over time. On the other hand, an undersized AC unit will struggle to cool the room, causing the system to work harder and run continuously. This not only increases energy consumption but also drives up your bills. To ensure your air conditioner cools your home effectively, it’s crucial to choose the right size for your space. Unsure how to determine the correct size? Give us a call and we will assist you with that.
