Like to lower your Air Conditioning Utility Bills?
Look at all the ways you can to reduce the heat and humidity load, caulk, weather-strip, and insulate, to keep the heat and humidity outside. Have a manual J heat load done and consider slightly under-sizing a replacement condenser. If you have an older furnace, there may not be enough airflow through the evaporator coil. Have all of the ductwork, diffusers, return-air grilles and filter areas checked and properly sized, the ductwork must be properly sealed. In cold climate, consider replacing the furnace with a new high efficiency condenser furnace. Then replace the central A/C system using a TEV refrigerant control on the evaporator. By slightly under-sizing the condenser and making certain you have an optimal and balanced heatload on the cooling coil during normal run-time conditions, --the unit will have a much greater BTU/hr heat transfer output during average run-time conditions! With a properly sized system and proper evaporator airflow you will have consistent optimal nominal capacity heat absorption and removal, coupled with longer run-time cycles. Just my experienced 'opinion' (only). - udarrell -- Air Conditioning Efficiency http://www.udarrell.com/air-conditio...fficiency.html |
