The Truth About AC Unit Sizing

At Conway Air Conditioning, we often hear misconceptions about air conditioning systems. One common myth we’d like to address today is the belief that bigger AC units always cool better. This simply isn’t true, and here’s why:

Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better

1. Inefficient cooling cycles: Oversized units cool too quickly, leading to short cycles that don’t effectively remove humidity.

2. Higher energy costs: Large units consume more power, even when they’re not running optimally.

3. Reduced comfort: Rapid cooling can result in uneven temperatures throughout your home.

4. Shorter lifespan: Frequent on-off cycles cause more wear and tear on the system.
