Carrier HVAC Tips & Info

What Size Air Conditioner Do You Need?

When you purchase a new air conditioner, it is important to have your local contractor visit your home to correctly calculate the size of the air conditioning system required.

Central air conditioner capacity for homes is measured in tons, with a ton being the cooling equivalent of one ton of ice. Carrier makes models in sizes ranging from 1.5 to 5 tons.

As temperatures rise, an undersized air conditioner will not be able to keep your home cool causing it to work continually and increasing utility costs.

An air conditioner with too much capacity for the size of your home will produce cool air too quickly causing unbalanced cooling without adequately removing the humidity from the indoor air.

Proper sizing and installation of equipment is critical to achieving optimal performance and energy savings. Contact your local dealer today for a free in-home consultation and more information on high-efficiency Carrier air conditioners.
