Your AC system has reached the end of its service life in Jena. Or it failed and repair costs relative to its age make replacement the better decision in Jena, LA. Or you are adding central cooling to a home that has not had it and you are ready to stop managing summer heat with window units in Jena. Whatever the specific situation, you are making a significant investment in home comfort and energy efficiency that will affect your home for the next 15 to 20 years in Jena, LA. And the two decisions that will determine whether that investment performs as you expect are the sizing decision and the installation quality in Jena. Both matter more than the brand of equipment on the equipment pad in Jena, LA.
A high-efficiency AC system installed with an incorrect refrigerant charge performs at significantly reduced efficiency in Jena, LA. A system installed on a duct system with significant leakage delivers a fraction of its rated cooling capacity to the living spaces in Jena. A system that is physically installed correctly but sized incorrectly for the home's actual cooling load operates in a mode that produces either persistent humidity problems or inadequate cooling capacity regardless of the efficiency rating on the equipment label in Jena, LA. The equipment's rated efficiency is the efficiency it achieves under laboratory conditions. What you actually experience in your home is the efficiency the installation produces in Jena.

A central AC system has a rated SEER efficiency that represents its performance under standardized test conditions in Jena. In a real residential installation, the actual efficiency the system achieves depends on correct refrigerant charge, correct airflow through the indoor coil, the condition of the duct system the system is installed on, and correct sizing for the specific home in Jena, LA. An installation that misses on any of these variables produces a system that underperforms its rating in Jena. An installation that gets all of them right produces the efficiency you are paying for in Jena, LA.
An oversized AC system cools the thermostat location to setpoint before the rest of the home has reached the same temperature in Jena, LA. The system shuts off having satisfied the thermostat but having run for too short a cycle to remove adequate humidity from the circulated air in Jena. The result is a home that feels cold and clammy rather than cool and comfortable in Jena, LA. Indoor relative humidity remains elevated despite the air conditioner running in Jena. Mold growth on surfaces throughout the home is more common in homes with oversized AC systems than in correctly sized homes in Jena, LA. And the short cycling produces wear on the compressor at an accelerated rate in Jena.
An undersized AC system runs continuously in hot weather without reaching the thermostat setpoint in Jena. The home is consistently warmer than the thermostat calls for in Jena, LA. The system runs at maximum capacity for extended periods, accumulating wear faster than a correctly sized system in Jena. Energy bills are high because the system is running more hours per day than a correctly sized system would need to in Jena, LA. And occupant comfort is poor because the home never reaches the set temperature in the hottest weather when cooling is most needed in Jena.
Air America performs a Manual J load calculation for every AC installation in Jena. The calculation accounts for every variable that affects the home's actual cooling load including floor area, ceiling height, insulation R-values in all building assemblies, window area and SHGC, local design temperature, and internal heat gains from occupants and appliances in Jena, LA. The calculation output is the correct system capacity for the specific home in Jena. Not an estimate based on square footage alone. A full load calculation in Jena, LA.
The rule of thumb sizing method of one ton of cooling per 500 to 600 square feet of floor area produces wildly inaccurate results for homes that deviate from the assumptions embedded in that rule in Jena. A well-insulated home with efficient windows may need significantly less cooling capacity per square foot than the rule assumes in Jena, LA. A home with large south-facing windows, high ceilings, and minimal insulation may need significantly more in Jena. Manual J accounts for all of these variables and produces the correct capacity for the specific home rather than an estimate for an average home of that size in Jena, LA.

Air America performs a Manual J load calculation for every AC installation before any equipment is selected in Jena, LA. The calculation accounts for every variable that affects the home's cooling load in Jena. The correct system capacity is determined by the calculation, not by square footage rules of thumb or equipment availability in Jena, LA.
With the correct system capacity determined, Air America presents equipment options that meet the calculated capacity requirement in Jena. Options across the efficiency spectrum from minimum code-compliant efficiency to premium variable speed systems in Jena, LA. Clear information on the energy savings each efficiency level produces relative to its additional cost in Jena.

After installation is complete, Air America verifies the refrigerant charge using gauges connected to the refrigerant circuit in Jena. The system is charged to the manufacturer's specified refrigerant quantity adjusted for the specific installation's line set length in Jena, LA. A correct refrigerant charge is one of the most critical variables for achieving the system's rated efficiency in Jena.
After the refrigerant charge is verified, Air America commissions the system and measures its performance in Jena, LA. Supply air temperature at multiple registers. Return air temperature and humidity. System electrical measurements to confirm correct amperage draw. And overall system performance verified against the expected performance for the specific system and conditions in Jena.
An AC system approaching or past its 15-year service life that requires a major repair warrants a replacement comparison in Jena, LA. A system that has required multiple repairs in recent seasons is communicating that its remaining service life is limited in Jena. A system using R-22 refrigerant that has phased out of production faces increasingly expensive refrigerant costs for any refrigerant-related repair in Jena, LA. And a system that is significantly less efficient than current equipment is costing the homeowner measurably more in energy every year it continues to operate in Jena.
A new high-efficiency AC system replacing a 15-year-old standard efficiency system can reduce cooling energy consumption by 30 to 50 percent depending on the efficiency ratings being compared in Jena. A correctly sized replacement system eliminates the short cycling humidity problems that an oversized original installation may have been producing in Jena, LA. And a variable speed replacement system produces a level of indoor comfort and humidity control that single-stage systems cannot match in Jena.
