Is the home s heating and cooling (HVAC) equipment properly sized?
When a home is built with increased insulation, energy-efficient windows and tight (not leaky) construction, you need smaller equipment to keep the home comfortable. Just as a small lightweight car doesn’t need as large an engine as a sport utility vehicle, an energy-efficient home doesn’t need as large and expensive an HVAC system as a less efficient home. In addition, right-sized equipment will be more effective, maintain comfort levels and last longer.
