Investing in the latest or most feature-packed air conditioner doesn’t necessarily mean you’re making the right choice. Most homeowners make a common mistake of picking an AC based on advertised features while negating the need for proper sizing.
Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is your superb HVAC company in Edina MN. We can help you scientifically size your brand-new cooling system, ensuring optimum comfort and outstanding energy efficiency.
Overview
Proper AC sizing is selecting a unit with a sufficient level of cooling power for your home. Contrary to myth, right-sizing is not obtained by estimation or guesswork. The process involves an assessment of your home’s cooling needs to determine the power of the air conditioner required to cool your home effectively. This process is vital because if the AC is not the proper size, problems are bound to arise much sooner than you might expect.
How Does it Work?
The technician will evaluate your home and determine its ability to prevent heat from entering and how much heat remains inside. This process allows the technician to identify how much air conditioning is needed to give you adequate cooling. Factors to consider may include the following:
* The size and design of the house
* Type, number, and orientation of windows
* Type and quality of insulation
* Number of occupants
* Amount of heat generated from lights and other appliances
Once these factors are identified, the technician will recommend what size of air conditioner meets your home’s needs.

Features of the Lennox Merit® Series 14ACX Air Conditioner
With a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating of up to 16.00, the Lennox 14ACX air conditioner can save you hundreds of dollars in cooling costs per year, compared to older air conditioners.
The 14ACX is an ENERGY STAR-qualified air conditioner. This trusted, government-backed symbol for energy efficiency makes it easy for consumers to identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sacrificing performance, features, and comfort. The 14ACX reduces greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy. It meets or exceeds EPA guidelines for energy efficiency.
This air conditioner comes with a 5-Year Limited Warranty on the compressor and 5-Year Limited Warranty on covered components. The 14ACX may be eligible for valuable 10-Year Limited Extended Warranty coverage with product registration.
Every component of the 14ACX has proven itself through extensive testing in our research labs. So you can take comfort knowing that your conditioner will deliver reliable performance throughout the cooling season.
The compressor is the part of an air-conditioning unit that pumps refrigerant to deliver the cooling your home needs. The 14ACX is built with a proven, reliable scroll compressor that means years of trouble-free operation.
The 14ACX is compatible with the exclusive Humiditrol® whole-home dehumidification system for indoor air that feels better – even on sweltering days.
The cooling comfort and peace of mind you get from the 14ACX is enhanced when the unit is paired with indoor air quality (IAQ) products, such as the Healthy® Climate whole-home dehumidifier. By helping control mold, mildew, and other contaminants, an IAQ accessory can make your indoor air better. Unlike some portable units, these accessories improve the air without producing ozone, a known lung irritant.
Its scroll compressor with a sound-dampening system provides low sound levels and durability, even in extreme weather conditions.
Its precision-balanced direct-drive fan delivers quieter operation and longer equipment life.
With sound levels as low as 76 dB, the 14ACX is much quieter than an old, standard air conditioner.
Its PermaGuard™ Cabinet is a heavy-gauge, galvanized steel construction, louver coil guard, baked-on powder finish, and durable zinc-coated steel base provide long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion.
Its Chlorine-free R-410A refrigerant provides exceptional comfort without exacting a costly environmental toll.
