What size heat pump do I need for my house?

Goodman heat pumps have become very popular nowadays. More people are buying them because of their advantages. However, there is a common misconception linked to them. This is that the bigger the heat pump, the better service it will provide. Installing a bigger heat pump does not mean it is more effective. Installing properly sized equipment is what helps increase efficiency and ensures a high level of comfort.

Reasons as to why a bigger heat pump is not always better than a smaller one

Determining the correct size of a heat pump is important for achieving comfortable interior conditions. According to heat pump reviews 

  • When the equipment is oversized, the efficiency gets reduced, and initial costs are more. Also, energy costs are also more and the comfort also decreases. A smaller unit will run for longer periods of time and use less energy and help in saving money.
  • An oversized heat pump can run into serious problems in cold weather. It will shut down and startup constantly for some time for a few minutes and it won’t be able to enter into the defrost cycle. The heat pump can even freeze completely. 
  • An oversized heat pump will bring room to temperature quickly, but it will always operate on high power consumption
  • It is difficult to maintain the set temperature in oversized heat pump systems because the heating output of the unit is always high 
  • Oversized heat pump systems lead to more frequent repairs and breakdown leading to higher repair bills.
