PROPER DESIGN AND INSTALLATION IS CRITICAL!

FACT #1: Proper Equipment Sizing

• Oversized equipment increases energy use by 9%

• Oversized cooling equipment makes us feel cold and clammy

• Oversized equipment has more frequent maintenance problems and shorter equipment life.

FACT #2: Proper Airflow

• Poor airflow produces a 10% increase in operating costs

• Poor airflow results in shorter equipment life

• Inadequate airflow results in poor comfort control

• Inadequate airflow results in lower indoor air quality

FACT #3: Air Conditioner Refrigerant Charge

• About 40% of all systems have an improper refrigerant charge

FACT #4: Tight Ductwork

• Leaks in the return ducts often bring in unfiltered and unconditioned air from attics, basements and crawl spaces

• Studies show that existing homes typically lose 35% of the system’s cooling capacity from duct leakage and thermal losses due to poorly insulated ducts. Proper sealing and insulation will cut those losses in half

The combination of all of these FACTS would result in a system efficiency loss of approximately 40%.
