  1. What Is an Oversized AC Unit? Bigger isn’t always better in HVAC An oversized AC cools your home too quickly Rapid cooling = short run cycles Causes poor humidity control and uneven temperatures Learn more: https://callgunnys.com/blog/oversized-ac-unit-symptoms/

  2. Why It Happens – Improper Sizing Common installation mistake Installed based on square footage alone Ignored insulation, sunlight exposure, occupancy Often a result of DIY or rushed contractor work Proper load calculations (Manual J) are critical

  3. Key Symptom – Short Cycling Cooling too fast, running inefficiently Doesn’t allow proper dehumidification Increases wear and tear System starts and stops frequently Result: Feels cold but clammy indoors

  4. Key Symptom – Hot and Cold Spots Uneven cooling = discomfort Oversized ACs cool areas near vents fast Air doesn’t circulate evenly Rooms further from unit stay warmer

  5. Key Symptom – High Energy Bills Large unit ≠ energy savings Constant restarting = more energy High startup loads drain efficiency Bigger motors use more electricity overall Reminder: Efficient ≠ just large capacity

  6. Indoor Air Quality Impact Humidity and filtration issues 1 2 3 Short runs = less air filtered Humidity levels stay high Dust and allergens circulate more Result: AC runs, but air doesn’t feel clean

  7. Long-Term Consequences More than just discomfort 1 Compressor failure from short cycling 2 Duct condensation → mold risk 3 Shortened lifespan of entire system Tip: Replacing early is often costlier than proper install

  8. What Homeowners Can Do Solving oversized AC problems Get a Manual J load calculation 1 Inspect duct design and airflow balance 2 Consider downsizing or adding zoning systems 3
