There are several factors to consider when determining what size to buy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While central air conditioners come in a variety of sizes, they\u2019re all measured based off tonnage. Tonnage is the unit\u2019s ability to cool 12,000 BTU\u2019s in an hour. BTU stands for British Thermal Unit, and is a unit of heat, like the calculation of a degree in temperature calculations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most central air conditioning units for residential purposes range from 1.5 to 5 tons. Commercial units start at around 5 tons. It\u2019s important to consult with your air conditioning repair company to ensure you\u2019re purchasing the right size for your home or business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can deal with several issues if you purchase the wrong size. For example, if your air conditioning unit is too large, it will cool quickly, but also turn off quickly, allowing heat to maintain in your house. It will also prevent the unit from running through a full cooling cycle like it\u2019s meant to. If your unit is too small, then it will run constantly and have a hard time cooling the house.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Both are major issues that can result in high electric bills and potentially damaging your air conditioning unit. If you think your air conditioning unit is not the right size, contact your local air conditioning service company to get a professional opinion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An easy way to calculate what size unit you need is the following calculation: (House square footage\u00a0times\u00a030,\u00a0divided\u00a0by 12,000) \u2013 1.0). This will calculate the required tonnage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you need help deciding what size unit you should purchase, contact Air Quality Control, a local and professional air conditioning service company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Size Air Conditioner Do You Need For Your Home? &nbsp; One of the biggest mistake you can make when [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1107,1142],"tags":[1108,1131],"class_list":["post-24863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ac-service","category-air-conditioning-servies","tag-air-conditioning","tag-air-conditioning-service"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Size Air Conditioner Do You Need For Your Home?
