A unit too small leaves rooms muggy, one too large chills the house

If you live in Wisconsin you know the summers can be sweltering, even if few people connect the state with warm weather. The trouble with central air is that the wrong size fails in both directions. A unit that is too small leaves rooms warm and muggy. A unit that is too large overpowers the house and makes it too cold. Neither one is the comfort you paid for.

So the work at R.A. Heating & Air Conditioning starts with proper measurements of your indoor spaces, before any equipment is chosen. The quote follows your Evansville house, not a catalog page. Nobody here receives bonus commissions and we won't sell you anything you don't need, so the size on the paper is the size the house calls for.

Matching the unit to how your family lives, and to the ducts behind the walls

Measurements are only half of the sizing. R.A. Heating & Air Conditioning matches the unit to the way you and your family members live, then handles the equipment registration for you, so the paperwork does not land on your kitchen counter after the install. The goal is a competitively priced unit that suits the house, which is a different goal from the biggest unit that fits on the pad.

Ductwork gets the same scrutiny, because ducts can be too big or too small just as a unit can. Small ducts run noisy. Oversized ducts make the system work inefficiently as it struggles to deliver cool air. When we install a new central air system, we ask which rooms ran too hot or too cold, then assess the ducts to see whether they need better insulation or need to be replaced.

The summer cooling 15-point check, once a year

R.A. Heating & Air Conditioning offers a 15-point annual inspection to keep cooling equipment safe and efficient. The technician checks voltage and amperage on every motor with a meter, the air temperature drop across the evaporator, the refrigerant charge and any possible leaks, and the evaporator superheat. Moving parts are lubricated, belts are adjusted for tension, and filters are checked.

The visit also covers the electrical lock out circuits, the starting contactor contacts, all wiring and connections, thermostat operation, the air temperature across the condenser, and whether the condensate drain is open. You get a general equipment condition report afterward. VALUE program and commercial care customers pay a discounted price. Call (608) 882-6221 to book a visit anywhere in South Central Wisconsin.
