The Truth About HVAC Unit Sizing
At Jackson & Foster, we often encounter homeowners who believe that bigger is always better when it comes to heating and cooling systems. This common misconception can lead to inefficient energy use, higher utility bills, and decreased comfort. Let’s explore why this myth doesn’t hold up and what you should consider instead.
Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better
- Oversized units cycle on and off more frequently, leading to increased wear and tear
- Larger systems may not dehumidify your home effectively
- Energy efficiency decreases with constant starting and stopping
- Bigger units cost more upfront and to operate

- Last longer due to less frequent cycling
