The Truth About Air Conditioner Size and Efficiency

At Bradley Heating & Air Conditioning, we often encounter misconceptions about HVAC systems. One common myth we’d like to address today is the belief that bigger air conditioning units always provide better cooling. This simply isn’t true, and here’s why:

Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better

1. Energy Efficiency: An oversized AC unit will cycle on and off more frequently, consuming more energy and increasing your utility bills.

2. Humidity Control: Proper-sized units run longer cycles, allowing them to remove more humidity from the air, creating a more comfortable environment.

3. Lifespan: Frequent cycling of oversized units can lead to increased wear and tear, potentially shortening the system’s lifespan.

4. Uneven Cooling: An oversized unit may cool some areas quickly while leaving others uncomfortable.
