When it comes to keeping your home cool and comfortable, bigger isn’t always better — and smaller isn't either. Choosing the right size air conditioner for your home is critical for your comfort, energy bills, and the overall lifespan of your system. At Holbrook Heating & Air Conditioning, we’ve seen firsthand how proper AC sizing can make all the difference for homeowners across Syracuse, Fayetteville, Camillus, Cicero, and the surrounding Central New York areas.
Why Is AC Sizing So Important?
An air conditioner that’s too small will struggle to cool your home properly. It will run constantly, driving up your energy bills and putting extra wear and tear on the system, leading to frequent repairs and early failure.
On the other hand, a unit that’s too large can cool your home too quickly without properly removing humidity. This can leave you feeling clammy and uncomfortable. Plus, oversized systems tend to cycle on and off more frequently, which can waste energy and shorten the lifespan of the equipment.
Getting the size just right is the key to consistent comfort, better air quality, lower energy costs, and a longer-lasting AC unit.
How Do We Size Your AC System?
At Holbrook Heating & Air Conditioning, we never rely on guesswork. Our licensed and NCI-certified technicians use professional load calculations to determine the perfect size for your new AC system. We consider several factors, including:
The square footage of your home
The number of windows and doors
Insulation levels
Ceiling height
Sun exposure
Number of occupants
Existing ductwork and ventilation
Every home is different, and we take the time to evaluate your unique needs to recommend a system that fits perfectly — not just based on the square footage, but how your home actually lives and breathes.
