Oversized is its own kind of broken
An air conditioner with too much capacity short-cycles, never pulls the humidity out, and wears itself down early. In a Carolina summer that matters more than the raw tonnage.
How this is worked out
No hidden fudge factor. This is the whole calculation.
- Pick a home size, which sets the low and high end of the typical range.
- The range shown is the all-in installed cost, so there is nothing to multiply.
- Both ends are typical Triangle installed costs gathered from published industry ranges. They are not quotes, and no number here comes from our own bookings.
