Money Saving Tip: Get the Right Air Conditioner

If you're in the market for a new air conditioner, be sure to get the right size.  Why?  Because it can save you a ton of money.  Here's today's money saving tip:

Getting an air conditioner that’s just the right size can save you thousands over the years.  An air conditioner that's too big for the area cooled will perform less efficiently than a smaller properly sized unit. This is because units work better if they run for relatively long periods of time than if they are continually, switching off and on. Longer run times allow air conditioners to maintain a more constant room temperature and also allows them to remove a larger amount of moisture from the air, which lowers humidity and, more importantly, makes you feel more comfortable.  Bigger units will cool more quickly, but will run shorter in doing so, actually costing you more money.
