Why The Right Size System Is So Important |
|

When it comes to your heating and air conditioning system, bigger
isn't always better, and smaller isn't always more economical.
A system that is too large will cool or heat your house quickly, but you still may
not feel comfortable. That's because it will satisfy the temperature setting on
your thermostat before it can adequately remove sufficient moisture from the air
– which is what makes you feel so sticky and uncomfortable in summer. What's more,
the stress of short cycling (too many starts and stops) will shorten the life of
your equipment and increase your heating and air conditioning bills.
A system that is too small just cannot get the job done. The air conditioner will
run constantly in the summer and the furnace will do the same in winter–which may
overtax your system and increase your energy costs.

In most homes across the country, systems are in fact too large.
And an oversized system not only makes it more difficult to control your comfort
levels, it costs you money, because you're essentially paying to heat or cool space
that isn't even there. That's why a properly completed load calculation is so important.
Your independent
Trane dealer can determine the correct system type and size for your home
by doing a room-by-room load calculation. This heat loss/heat gain analysis is the
best indicator of the correct system size and takes into consideration such critical
factors as:
|
|
|
|
-
Climate
-
Number of windows and type of window treatments
-
Insulation and ductwork
-
Building materials and roof construction
-
Skylights and fireplaces
-
Ceiling heights
- The number of people in your home
