How to calculate your house cooling needs

• Don't hire a contractor who wants to size your unit based solely on the floor area of your house

The contractor measures your house, notes the window area and the direction the house faces, and measures

insulation levels

Compare bids from different Contractors

• Ask your contractor to size the air conditioner based on the latent cooling load (humidity of the air) as well as the sensible cooling load (temperature of the air) for your home

• Install for ease of MaintenanceMake sure the inside coil can be reached for

cleaning. • The coil should be cleaned every two years.

Leave plenty of room for free air flow on all sides

• Place the outside unit on the north or east side of the house, out of direct sunlight, but don't add shade for it

• The air conditioner draws a lot of air through

it. So lot of space is needed than for it to be well shaded.
