Small AC systems have long been considered to be underpowered. However, technological advancements have significantly improved the performance of these systems. Certain circumstances may make it better for you to invest in one of the small AC systems. Here's more on why small AC systems may be better.
Oversized Units
When it comes to AC units, bigger isn't always better. An AC unit that's too big for your home will use more power to deliver cooling. It will cool your home quickly and then turn itself off. The compressor will turn on and off in fast intervals, making the system more inefficient.
An oversized AC unit won't stay on long enough to remove moisture, dust, and other particles from your home's air. As a result, your home will have high humidity levels and bad air quality.
To avoid the problems that come with oversized units, seek professional advice to ensure the new air conditioner you purchase is the perfect size for your house.
Positioning Flexibility
A small AC system will be right for you if you need a unit that you can move in and out of storage or from one room to another. Portable air conditioners have roll-on casters that make them easy to transport.
You can take a portable unit to the room where you need it the most and even store it easily when there's mild weather and you want to open the window. With a small unit, you can point the cool air in different directions.
Supplement Your Central AC System
You can use a small portable unit or ductless mini-split system to cool off rooms that don't get conditioned air from your central AC system, such as the sunroom, attic space, or garage workshop. A small unit can also be useful for cooling a space where you'll be spending lots of time, such as the bedroom at night, to avoid blasting your whole home for that period.
Portable units provide a short-term fix when your existing AC system requires service at the height of summer.
