Your HVAC system is essential for living comfortably in your home. No matter the season, you want to be sure that the climate control in your house is running perfectly. Pay attention to these indicators that your HVAC system might be too big for your Abbeville, LA, home:
Short Cycles
Short cycles happen when your HVAC system has to run continuously to maintain a comfortable temperature. Whenever it’s working harder than needed, it’s using more energy. Too many vents or registers in a particular room can make this happen, leading to uneven temperatures throughout the house.
Increased Electricity Bills
If you notice an increase in your electricity bills, it might be time to consider a new HVAC system. If your current system is too big for your home, it will run all the time, even when you’re not using it. This will increase your energy usage and drive up costs.
High Humidity
When the humidity in your home is high, the air conditioner cannot remove enough moisture from the air to bring it down to a comfortable level. High humidity can be uncomfortable and make it difficult to sleep at night. Before you move forward with an AC installation, contact a professional to help you choose the right-sized cooling system for your home.
Poor Indoor Air Quality
If you’re experiencing poor air quality in your home, it could be because your HVAC system is too big for it. If there’s too much air moving through your HVAC system, it may not be able to remove all the moisture from the air. That excess moisture can lead to biological growth and other issues that could degrade your indoor air quality.
If you notice these issues with your AC unit in Abbeville, LA, call Desormeaux’s Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc for an evaluation. We can assess the air quality in your home and inspect the system to see if your air conditioner is undersized or oversized.
