The Truth About HVAC System Sizing

At Young’s Heating & Cooling, we often encounter misconceptions about HVAC systems. One prevalent myth we’d like to address today is the belief that bigger HVAC units always provide better cooling. This couldn’t be further from the truth, and here’s why:

The Pitfalls of Oversized HVAC Systems

1. Inefficient Energy Use: Larger units consume more energy, leading to higher utility bills without necessarily improving comfort.
2. Short Cycling: Oversized units cool spaces too quickly, resulting in frequent on-off cycles that wear out the system faster.
3. Inadequate Dehumidification: Proper moisture removal requires longer run times, which oversized units don’t achieve due to short cycling.
4. Uneven Cooling: Rapid cooling can lead to temperature inconsistencies throughout your home.
