The Truth About Air Conditioner Size and Efficiency

At T. N. Bowes Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., we often hear misconceptions about air conditioning systems. One common myth we’d like to address is the belief that bigger AC units always provide better cooling. This simply isn’t true, and here’s why:

Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better

1. Overcooling: An oversized unit can cool your space too quickly, leading to short cycling and inefficient operation.

2. Humidity control: Proper-sized units run longer, removing more humidity from the air and creating a more comfortable environment.

3. Energy waste: Larger units consume more energy, potentially increasing your utility bills unnecessarily.

4. Wear and tear: Frequent starting and stopping of an oversized unit can lead to premature system failure.
