Debunking the Myth: Bigger AC Units Always Cool Better

The Common Misconception

At Perry Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing, we’ve been serving the Tucson area and surrounding communities since 1949. Over the decades, we’ve encountered numerous myths about HVAC systems. Today, we’re here to debunk a common misconception: the idea that bigger air conditioning units always cool better.

Why This Myth Persists

It’s easy to understand why people might believe that a larger AC unit would provide superior cooling. After all, bigger often means more powerful in many aspects of life. However, when it comes to air conditioning, this simply isn’t the case.

The Truth About AC Sizing

In reality, the key to effective cooling lies in proper sizing. An oversized AC unit can actually lead to several problems:

  • Short cycling
  • Increased energy consumption
  • Inconsistent temperatures
  • Higher humidity levels
  • Premature wear and tear

The Importance of Professional Installation

This is why professional AC installation is crucial. At Perry Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing, our experienced technicians perform detailed calculations to determine the right size unit for your home or business in Tucson, Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, or Oro Valley, AZ.

We consider factors such as:

  • Square footage
  • Ceiling height
  • Insulation quality
  • Number and size of windows
  • Local climate conditions
