What size air conditioner do I need?

Installing a correctly sized air condition system is critical to its proper function. Bigger is not better. An oversized system will cost more to operate and will cycle too briefly to effectively remove household humidity. An undersized unit will not cool your home on the hottest of days. Correct sizing is essential.
Another choice you must make is the level of energy efficiency. Higher efficient systems cost more, but they operate more efficiently and use less electricity. Home size, design, location, amount and type of insulation, ceiling height, as well as the number and size of windows and doors will all impact your cooling needs.
An Isaac Field Representative can best advise you on the correct air conditioning solution for your home. He will perform a home cooling assessment and present options for your specific comfort needs. Contact us at (585) 546-1400 or comfort@IsaacHeating.com to schedule a free estimate.

How does an air conditioner work?

Air conditioning systems cool your home by moving excessive indoor heat to outside your home where it is dispersed into the air. Air condition will also lower home humidity to further improve your comfort.
Household air is drawn down the return-air ducts to your furnace where it passes over a cold evaporator coil. The heat from the household air naturally moves to the cold coil and is then transported in refrigerant lines to the condenser unit outside. The fan in that unit pulls air through the hot condenser coil to dissipate the excess heat into the outdoor air.
Meanwhile, as the indoor air passes over the cold evaporator coil, moisture in that air condenses onto the coil and turns to a liquid. This liquid leaves via a drain, leaving the air returning to your home living spaces dryer and more comfortable.
