There is a common misconception that an oversized air conditioning system will run more efficiently than the right sized air conditioner. This misconception leads to installing oversized air conditioner in residential and commercial areas. Moreover, the contractors often do not calculate the capacity of the air conditioning system and the area requirements and try to sell bigger units. However, this only affects the buyers as many problems are caused by this misjudged choice.
High
Up Front Cost
Higher capacity mini split units or air
conditioning systems are quite expensive. If you buy a bigger unit for a
smaller room then you are going to spend extra upfront money on an oversized
unit that is completely not necessary.
Increased
Energy Consumption
Bigger units consume more energy and
this result in increased energy cost. Higher capacity air conditioning systems take less time to cool a smaller room
and shut off quickly and then start up again. This causes more energy usage
that is completely a waste of energy as well as money.
Short
Cycling
Constant turning off and turning on of
an air conditioning system Swindon effects the performance of its motor. The unit turns
off constantly as the air in the room gets cool early and then again turns on
as the temperature rises. This short cycling badly impacts the machinery of the
air conditioning system and shortens its life. Moreover, the air conditioning
system repair costs get higher as well.
Ineffective
Humidity Control
Short cycling of a mini split air
conditioning system causes the humidity control of an air conditioning system
less effective. The air conditioning system turns off quickly before all the
humidity from the room has been drained out. That is why, the comfort level of
the room decreases significantly.
Therefore, always calculate the size of
the area and the capacity of the air conditioning system because an oversized
air conditioner is not a better choice than a right sized air conditioner.
