Finding the Goldilocks Zone: Right-sizing Your Florida HVAC System

Bigger isn't always better when it comes to your HVAC system. Uncover the secrets to choosing the perfect power for your Florida home with Reliable Climate Solutions.

When it comes to selecting a new HVAC system or replacing an old one, the temptation to go bigger may arise, but here's the truth: optimal sizing is key. Powerful air conditioners are designed for larger spaces, following a standard of 600 sq ft per 1 ton of cooling power. This calculation considers the approximate living area of your home or the designated cooling zone.

However, a system with excessive power may lead to rapid cooling and frequent shutdowns. These short operational cycles not only negatively impact the compressor's lifespan but also contribute to premature condensate pipe clogging, resulting in emergency service calls and unforeseen expenses.

Sometimes, companies opt for more potent systems at a lower cost, aiming to maximize profits by selling this solution aggressively. At Reliable Climate Solutions, we prioritize your needs over shortcuts. Subscribe to our Facebook page for expert advice on optimizing your HVAC system: Right-size Your Comfort.
