When it comes to your heating and air conditioning system, you probably know that newer models are more efficient. However, the system needs to be sized correctly for your home to enjoy all of the savings from improved energy efficiency. A system that is too small will not adequately heat the home during the cold winter season, or supply enough air conditioning in mid-summer. But, be careful of over-sizing, because systems that are too large do not operate efficiently and cost more to install and operate.
It’s important to check the “nameplate rating” of your home's existing cooling/heating system. The nameplate is a metal tag attached to the unit, that will tell you the maximum BTU per hour output, as well as other useful information. But, do not assume the existing unit is the right size. A full load (heat loss and heat gain) calculation should always be done on your home, especially if you believe that the insulation or windows of your home have been upgraded since the original heating or cooling.
