Jessica -

here is the problem with getting a unit that is larger than you need

when the A/C kicks on, because it is oversized for you house, it cools it so
fast that it just runs for a brief spurt.

the problem is that the OTHER forgotten function of A/C in the summer is
dehumidification, if you want to be comfortable

the oversized A/C unit runs such a brief time to get the house cooled down,
that there is not enough time to adequately dehumidity.

so folks who buy an "oversize" unit, while their intention is to be more
comfortable, end up LESS comfortable in a cool, but clammy home.

get the correct size, and no more


In a humid climate, I would rather undersize a little than oversize.
It needs the runtime to ring out the humidity and achieve the Human
Comfort Zone.
