Long Term Energy Cost

According to the EPA, 70 percent of HVAC systems do not have thecorrect airflow, consequently influencing the unit’s energy efficiency.
In addition, the survey revealed thatalmost 74 percent of HVAC systems have the incorrect amount of refrigerant fromthe time of heating and air conditioning installation. This factor alonecan affect performance by as much as 15 percent. This results in higher energycosts, reduced reliability and faster wear and tear on the system. An oversizedsystem is never able to reach maximum efficiency, and shuts off too soon in acondition called short cycling. This is a waste the extra money you spent toachieve efficiency in the first place.
Short cycling means the system experiences frequent starts and stops,creating excessive wear and tear that will shorten the lifespan of the HVACsystem and make repair or replacement necessary sooner. In addition, shortcycling allows humidity to remain elevated during the cooling season,encouraging the growth of mold and mildew in the home. The system simply willnot run long enough to remove adequate humidity from the air.
When you think about it, lost energy, reduced performance andsignificant reduction in the new system’s lifespan is not what you paid for.These are the reasons you should insist on right sizing, rather than insist ona system larger than your home requires. Furthermore, proper installation isessential in the long-term performance, efficiency, and lifespan of the system.Contractors who simply swap out units based on the existing size may bereplacing a wrong sized unit with the same. The contractor who utilizesaccurate calculations according to the ASHRAE Handbook is providing a properheating and air conditioning installation according to the industrystandards.
