To regulate your home’s Heating and Air Conditioning in Waukesha, WI, it’s necessary to have the right unit for your residence. Air conditioning not only alters the air’s humidity and temperature to make it conducive to daily living, it filters out potentially infectious pathogens that can prove harmful to a person’s health. A qualified AC contractor can help you decide which unit is right for your home.
If you purchase a unit that is too big for your home, you run the risk of having too much humidity in your home. A unit that is too small will inadequately cool your home. Having a unit that is either too large or too small can consume excess electricity and run up your utility bills because it will cycle on and off repeatedly.
If you will be purchasing an AC unit for an individual room, measure the area of the room where the unit will be. Measure the length and width of the room. For a square or rectangular room, multiply the length times the width to find the area in feet. If your are measuring a room that is not square or rectangular, divide the room into square and triangular sections. For the triangular sections, multiply the length times the width times 1/2 to arrive at area of each respective triangular section. Add all the square and triangular sections to arrive at the area of the entire room. For an AC unit that will cool the entire home, calculate the area of each room, and add these totals up.
You will need to determine the cooling capacity for your home based on its square footage. The measurement of the AC unit you will need is based on British Thermal Units (BTU) per hour. For a home that is between 550 and 1,000 square feet, an AC with 14,000 to 18,000 units will be needed. Remember to add 600 BTU for each additional person who is living in your home, so the unit will provide for a cool area.
