- Assume your existing equipment was sized properly
Department of Energy Says:
"It is the contractor's job to perform the correct sizing Calculation for the home."
Problems Caused By Incorrect Sizing:
|
Higher installation costs |
Constantly Running |
|
More breakdowns |
High Energy Costs |
|
Large temperature swings |
Shorter Life |
|
Possible mold growth |
Reduced Comfort |
Value of Our Installation
The North Carolina Alternative Energy Corporation, a non-profit organization, examined air conditioning manufactures' efficiencies versus the actual efficiencies that resulted after installation; they found the following:
