Thomasville, GA. BIG ON A/C UNITS – U CAN’T HAVE TO MANY! (ENERGY HOGS)

We do not understand how a 2,500 square foot homes in Thomasville, GA. would be using 2 or even 3 A/C units. This doesn't make any sense, So when looking at homes in Thomasville, South Georgia I would definitely take a look at how many A/C units the home has if not you could most probably spend more for your electric bill then mortgage. Let’s not forget the excusive use of 2 & 3 50 gal water heaters & 2 & 3 A/C Units in new homes built. These water heaters are working 24/7.

Many people buy an air conditioner that is too large, thinking it will provide better cooling. However, an oversized air conditioner is actually less effective — and wastes energy at the same time. Air conditioners remove both heat and humidity from the air. If the unit is too large, it will cool the room quickly, but only remove some of the humidity. This leaves the room with a damp, clammy feeling. A properly sized unit will remove humidity effectively as it cools.
