My HVAC is 14 years old so we’re actually planning on replacing it sometime in the next 24 months.
I’ve talked to a couple of HVAC companies already because I want more cooling power. When it’s above 100F (which it is for 3+ months of the year) my current system struggles to hold 80F. If we use the oven on a hot day, we may not get the temperature back down for days. Our winters are relatively mild (we don’t get much below 25F). We’re in central Texas.
The HVAC companies I’ve spoken to won’t sell me an oversized system. They’ve never really said why, but from my research I think it has to do with mold problems resulting from cooling air with too much moisture in it. It doesn’t seem like a big ask for the thermostat to include humidity in its decision on how hard to run the AC, but apparently that doesn’t exist.
Would one of your systems solve any of these problems? I’m not a DIY person, so I don’t really want to buy direct. Do you have installation partners in the Austin, TX area?
