Size Doesn’t Always Matter in Air Conditioning

When it comes to air conditioning, many homeowners believe that bigger is always better. At Payne Air Conditioning & Heating, we’re here to debunk this common myth and explain why the right size matters more than sheer power.

The Myth: Bigger AC Units Cool Faster and Better

Many people assume that a larger air conditioning unit will cool their home more quickly and efficiently. This misconception often leads to oversized units being installed in homes across Lakeland, Auburndale, Plant City, and surrounding areas in Florida.

The Truth: Proper Sizing is Key

In reality, an oversized AC unit can cause several problems:

• Short cycling: The unit cools too quickly and turns on and off frequently, leading to increased wear and tear
• Inadequate dehumidification: Larger units don’t run long enough to remove humidity effectively
• Higher energy bills: Frequent starting and stopping consumes more energy
• Uneven cooling: Some areas may feel too cold while others remain warm

The Importance of Professional Sizing

At Payne Air Conditioning & Heating, our expert technicians perform thorough calculations to determine the right size AC unit for your home. We consider factors such as:
