Can someone shed some light on a question concerning a home air conditioning system?
My husband and I are purchasing a home and are in the repair stages of the closing, and my husband was told by the air conditioning repair man that since the double car garage was converted into a bedroom, we could use a bigger a/c unit. He fixed the one that is there, but mentioned that we should add extra insulation and a bigger ceiling fan in that bedroom. We went to the house twice throughout the day, and the unit was still running. I don't know if he had set it to "on" or to "auto", but should the a/c run that long if it is on auto? Does that mean that because we could use a bigger unit (he suggested another ton), the unit may run all day, causing our bill to increase? Also, should the seller have to upgrade the unit to provide air conditioning to the entire home? Would that be fair and is that the norm, considering that they converted the garage? Useful, knowledgeable info is appreciated. Thank you!
Hmmmm.... As it happens, both forced-air heating systems and cooling systems are at their most efficient when operating nearly at their limits. Oversized AC units will short-cycle and cool but not dehumidify, leaving you feeling clammy vs. cool. Oversized heating units will also short-cycle giving uneven heat.
So, before you install a larger AC unit, have an independent load study done to make sure it is really necessary. Your electric Utility will do this, often for free. It may be as simple as balancing the distribution system throughout the rest of the house with duct-dampers, and careful placement of your thermostat. Better yet, you might want to install some thermostatic dampers if you are so-inclined and if possible that will allow you to distribute the cooling exactly where you want it, yet keep some air movement in all rooms.
Note also that if you do replace the unit with a large one, you will also have to replace the evaporator coil - which may mean that you have to replace a good deal of duct-work. You might also consider installing a local system for just that room - either something like a Zoneline or mini-split system. That, again, will allow you to customize your use to save energy.

The Fashionable Look of Energy Efficient Lighting
Decorative options of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) are almost limitless. Fifteen years ago, there wasn't much out there; however, now you could do a whole house in fluorescents and still get a variety of colors and textures of light.
While CFLs have been around for decades, they weren't the first choice for most people. The light the bulbs cast was dim, they didn't always fit standard sockets and they didn't seem worth the expense. However, the quality and design of the CFLs have improved in the last few years. They now give off strong, unwavering light, come in shapes to fit most lamp and fixture designs and offer a variety of color tones for different applications.
CFLs come in three color tones; warm, cool white and daylight. Warm-tone CFLs are comparable to a "soft white" incandescent bulb, shedding flattering light for skin tones, wood and furnishings. Cool white tones have a bluish cast, giving a clear, bright light for garages, kitchens or workshops. Daylight CFLs are the brightest of the three, and are often used in retail stores and art galleries.
Fluorescents can be used almost anywhere. Fixtures using CFLs can be used indoors or outdoors, upstairs or downstairs. The big lighting designers are making beautiful styles - anywhere you want to put lamp or wire in a fixture, you can choose one that's energy efficient and still have the room look great.
The biggest reason for choosing CFLs is the energy savings. While the up-front cost of a CFL is more than an incandescent bulb, their increased efficiency reduces electricity use by 75-80%, which means they pay for themselves in just few months. Plus, those first few months are just a start - compact fluorescents are rated to run for 8,000-12,000 hours. This means that even with hours of daily use, they can last five, seven and even 10 years or more.
The cost for compact fluorescents is continually going down, as well. Early CFLs cost around $25 per bulb, and while they still paid for themselves in electricity savings, they weren't attractive to most people looking to replace a burned-out incandescent. Modern innovations and new technology have streamlined CFL design and have also brought down the cost to a fraction of the price, and a single bulb can now be under $3.00.
October is promoted as Energy Month and consumers are encouraged to give them a try. It is a great reason to try a new fluorescent light fixture. If people could start by simply replacing one or two lights in their homes, it could make a huge impact on energy use in our country.
That impact on energy savings is staggering. If every one of 110 million American homes replaced a single 60-watt incandescent fixture with one using a compact fluorescent, the energy saved would be enough to power a city of 1.5 million people, or the equivalent of taking 1.3 million cars off the road with the reduction in oil usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
