Busting the Myth: Bigger AC Units Don’t Always Mean Better Cooling

The Truth About AC Unit Sizing

When it comes to air conditioning, many homeowners believe that bigger is always better. At Aqua Plumbing & Air, we’re here to debunk this common myth and explain why proper sizing is crucial for your HVAC system’s efficiency and performance.

Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better

Contrary to popular belief, installing an oversized air conditioning unit can lead to several problems:

  • Short cycling: The unit turns on and off frequently, reducing efficiency
  • Increased energy consumption: Larger units use more power, even when not needed
  • Inconsistent temperatures: Rapid cooling without proper dehumidification
  • Reduced lifespan: Frequent on-off cycles cause more wear and tear

The Importance of Proper Sizing

At Aqua Plumbing & Air, our expert technicians understand that the key to optimal cooling lies in correctly sizing your AC unit. We consider factors such as:

  • Home size and layout
  • Insulation quality
