Uncovering the Facts: Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better in Air Conditioning

At AirTech Heating, we often encounter customers who believe that a larger air conditioning unit will automatically lead to better cooling and energy efficiency. Today, we’re here to debunk this common misconception and provide you with the facts about AC sizing and efficiency.

The Myth: Bigger AC Units Provide Superior Cooling

Many homeowners assume that purchasing the largest air conditioner they can afford will result in a cooler home and lower energy bills. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

The Reality: Proper Sizing is Key
