It is not better to install a system that has more capacity than you need. People oversize their HVAC systems all too often, which can cause humidity problems. A larger system cools the house too quickly, before it can effectively remove humidity. This can lead to indoor air quality issues. If your furnace is oversized, then your home may be filled with hot air that, even during the winter, can make it too hot in some spots and too cool in others.

Air conditioners operate via heat transfer and the compressor enables this function. This component compresses the refrigerant, raising its temperature and pressurizing it to form a liquid. It runs on the principle that heat flows from higher temperature areas to lower temperature ones and that gases flow from high to low pressure zones. As a result, excess heat is released into the cooler atmosphere. A blower fan is often used to help remove excess heat from the condenser coil. The compressor also manages the entire cycle, as hot pressurized refrigerant is pumped to the condenser and refrigerant in vapor form is pulled in from the evaporator.

You can save energy and reduce utility costs by purchasing energy efficient heating and cooling appliances and installing programmable or smart thermostats. These let you set your HVAC system according to when demand is higher, so less energy is used when, for example, you are at work or on vacation. Insulating your home, sealing air leaks, and installing energy efficient windows can also help you control energy costs. But not all strategies involve an investment. You can lower energy costs by replacing older lightbulbs with LEDs, or adjusting your habits by turning off electrical fixtures and appliances when not using them, hang-drying clothes, or washing dishes by hand.

Hard water contains higher concentrations of minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium. It can cause a film to form on your hands after washing with soap, which reacts with calcium. Spots of calcium carbonate may be left behind on glasses and silverware from the dishwasher. Mineral stains can appear on clothing as well. Soft water tends to have more concentrated levels of sodium, which may cause a slightly salty taste in drinking water. Drinking either causes no serious health problems.
