You need a new HVAC system in Ellettsville. Maybe you are adding central heating and cooling to a home that currently relies on window units, baseboard heaters, or wall units in Ellettsville, IN. Maybe the existing system failed and repair costs relative to its age make a new installation the right investment in Ellettsville. Maybe the system is 15 years old, still running, but you want to replace it before it fails at the worst possible time and on equipment that is 40 percent less efficient than what is available today in Ellettsville, IN. In each case, you are making an investment that will determine how your home heats and cools for the next 15 to 20 years in Ellettsville. And the decisions that determine whether that investment performs as expected are the sizing decision and the installation quality in Ellettsville, IN.
Here is what most homeowners do not realize about HVAC equipment in Ellettsville. The efficiency rating on a new HVAC system is the efficiency it achieves under laboratory test conditions in Ellettsville, IN. What you actually experience in your home is the efficiency the installation produces in Ellettsville. A high-efficiency system installed with an incorrect refrigerant charge operates at a significantly lower efficiency than its rating in Ellettsville, IN. A correctly charged system installed on ductwork with significant leakage delivers a fraction of its rated cooling capacity to the living spaces in Ellettsville. And a correctly charged, correctly installed system that is the wrong size for your home's actual load produces persistent humidity problems or inadequate comfort regardless of its efficiency rating in Ellettsville, IN. The equipment rating is the ceiling. The installation quality determines whether you get anywhere near it in Ellettsville.

The variables that determine real-world HVAC performance are all controlled during installation in Ellettsville. Correct refrigerant charge, which affects both efficiency and cooling or heating capacity in Ellettsville, IN. Correct airflow through the indoor coil, which affects heat transfer efficiency in Ellettsville. Correct duct system compatibility, which determines how much of the system's conditioned air actually reaches the living spaces in Ellettsville, IN. And correct system sizing, which determines whether the system produces the right amount of conditioning for the home's actual load in Ellettsville. Every one of these variables is set during installation. Getting them right at installation is significantly easier than correcting them after the fact in Ellettsville, IN.

An oversized HVAC system reaches the thermostat setpoint quickly without adequately conditioning the rest of the home or removing adequate humidity from the circulated air in Ellettsville, IN. In cooling mode, the short cycles an oversized system produces do not run long enough to dehumidify effectively in Ellettsville. Indoor humidity remains elevated despite the air conditioner running in Ellettsville, IN. The home feels cold and clammy rather than cool and comfortable in Ellettsville. And the frequent startup and shutdown cycles accumulate wear on the compressor that shortens the system's service life in Ellettsville, IN.
