What Size AC Unit Do I Need?

Selecting the correct size air conditioner for your home ensures optimal comfort and promotes energy efficiency, saving you money in the long run. Several factors play a role in determining the air conditioner size needed for your home. At Simpson Sheet Metal, our certified HVAC technicians are experts in diagnosing and resolving various air conditioning issues. Serving the Santa Rosa area, we provide top-notch service to homeowners and commercial businesses.

Factors Influencing Air Conditioner Size

In determining an appropriately sized air conditioner for your home, several important factors influence the capacity and type of air conditioner necessary to cool your space while managing energy costs efficiently.

Your Home’s Square Footage

Homes with larger square footage require larger, more powerful air conditioning systems. Conversely, a compact, lower-capacity air conditioner would suffice if your home is smaller. However, this rule isn't absolute, and you shouldn’t choose the size of the air conditioner based solely on the size of the house.

Climate and Local Weather Conditions

Homes in warmer, humid climates require a more robust air conditioning system than homes in cooler, less humid areas.

Insulation Levels and Quality of Windows and Doors

If your home is well-insulated and has energy-efficient windows and doors, you might require a smaller air conditioning system. On the other hand, houses with poor insulation and leaky windows may require larger air conditioning units to compensate for the extra work needed to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Number of Occupants and Heat-Generating Appliances

More occupants and appliances generate more heat inside the house, requiring the air conditioner to work harder to keep the space cool. You might need a larger-capacity air conditioner if your home has many occupants or several heat-generating appliances.
