Air Conditioning Sizing Problems
The size of your air conditioning unit or central air conditioner can be a reason why the second floor of a two-story house is warm and the first floor is comfortable. Check cooling load calculation tables and measure your unit to find the right size.

Installing large heating and cooling ducts in an older home is difficult. Instead, you can install small flexible ducts that snake through ceilings and floors to deliver the needed amount of air to cool each room.

Air Conditioning Blues - Return Air Problems
If your air conditioning unit is properly sized, but you still have temperature problems there may be another cause. The sizes of the air ducts and the number of ducts pipes extending from the air handler are critical to ensuring enough cold air is piped into each room to offset the buildup of heat.

Air Conditioners - Size Properly
Air conditioners in your home make you comfortable by removing humidity. Your air conditioning unit must run long enough to dry and cool the air. Get your air conditioner sized correctly. Too large a unit will not run long enough to remove the proper humidity, while a too-small unit is unable to cool and dry enough moisture from the air.

Air Conditioning - Maximizing Comfort
Air conditioners remove humidity to keep us cool. An air conditioning unit that is too large or too small will fail to keep us comfortable. Heat gain helps determine the correct air conditioner size.

Air Conditioning Sized Correctly
If your air conditioner runs all the time, but your house still doesn't get cool there may be a problem. The air conditioner isn't low on refrigerant, so it may be the size of your unit that is inadequate to cool your home.
