Central air conditioning is great for providing reliable comfort during the summer season, but if your system is too small for your home, it can lead to higher energy bills, discomfort, and inefficient cooling. As your full-service home comfort company, Reit Energy put together 5 signs that indicate your central air system may be undersized.
- Increased energy bills: An AC unit working overtime to cool your home will use more energy, leading to spikes in your electricity bills.
- Constant running: If your AC runs for hours on end without reaching the desired temperature, it’s struggling to keep up with your home’s cooling needs and likely undersized.
- Poor airflow: Weak or inconsistent airflow from your vents is a sign your AC might not be powerful enough to circulate cool air throughout your home. If you’ve checked and changed your air filters and are still not getting good airflow, give us a call.
- Increased humidity: In addition to cooling your home, your AC unit also helps remove moisture from the air. If your home feels muggy or sticky even while your AC is running, it could be a sign of insufficient cooling capacity.
- Uneven cooling: Do some rooms in your home feel cooler or warmer than others? An undersized AC might cool certain areas effectively while leaving others uncomfortably warm.
