A properly sized system is very important. A system that is too big for your home will cool or heat your house quickly, but you probably won’t feel as comfortable as you wish. In the case of air conditioning, the thermostat sensed the desired temperature before the system could get the humidity out of the air. You feel sticky and humid and your house is susceptible to moisture and mold issues.
A system that is too small never can keep up and will never cycle off. This greatly increases your energy bills and substantially reduces the life of your system. A properly sized system isn’t just based on square feet of your home. Many factors go into determining the size of the system including thickness of the walls, number and size of windows, thickness of insulation, basement and attic use, house orientation, and many other details. A Maeser Home Comfort Consultant will take detailed measurements of your home and scientifically determine the correct sized system that should be installed. We will fit your home with the most efficient system for years of comfort and reliability.
