The Common Misconception

When it comes to air conditioning installation, one of the most persistent myths we encounter at Blue Air Heating and Cooling is that bigger HVAC units automatically mean better cooling. This “bigger is better” mentality could actually be costing you more money and reducing your comfort.

Why Size Matters – But Not How You Think

An oversized AC unit will:
• Short cycle, turning on and off frequently
• Use more energy than necessary
• Fail to properly dehumidify your home
• Wear out faster than a properly sized unit
• Create uncomfortable temperature fluctuations

The Right Way to Size Your AC

Professional HVAC technicians consider multiple factors when sizing your system:
• Square footage of your home
• Ceiling height
• Window placement and quantity
• Insulation quality
• Local climate conditions
• Home orientation

The Benefits of Proper Sizing

A correctly sized air conditioning system will:
• Maintain consistent temperatures
• Control humidity effectively
• Operate efficiently
• Last longer
• Save money on utility bills
