Debunking the Myth: Bigger AC Units Are Always Better
The Truth About AC Unit Sizing
At Roger’s Plumbing & Heating, we often encounter homeowners who believe that bigger is always better when it comes to air conditioning units. Today, we’re going to debunk this common myth and explain why proper sizing is crucial for optimal AC performance and efficiency.
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 effectively. However, this is not always the case, and oversized units can actually lead to several problems:
- Increased energy consumption
- Higher utility bills

- Excessive humidity
- Shorter system lifespan
The Truth: Proper Sizing is Key
The ideal AC unit for your home depends on various factors, including:
1. Square footage
2. Insulation quality
3. Number of windows and their orientation
4. Ceiling height
5. Local climate
A correctly sized AC unit will:
- Maintain consistent temperatures
