Calculated BTU sizing, plus oversized air mover size = a whole other level of comfort.
But not a good comfort. Wrong is wrong.

Moving the correct air is key.

thus the push for ceiling fans years ago before more studies and testing was done on what creates a more comfortable environment inside a living space.
Ceiling fans create a windchill effect. Running an ac with an oversized blower creates a humid environment even while reaching the set temperature. Proper cfm is required to remove humidity from a space.
Enjoy your sticky home.

I had to replace my whole system about a month ago. I am loving mine. Under warranty and running non-stop

I bought 3 new units last week. 2 for a rental duplex, and 1 for our primary house. Crying, not bragging.

Entergy loves this too. Entergy does not need money to build a data center.
