Be careful what some of these posters are telling you. As some before posted oversizing is not always such a good idea. An A/C unit needs to run for a certain amount of time for it to efficiently cool. If you buy an oversized unit that cycles on and off all the time you may actaully use more power than a smaller unit that runs longer and cycles on and off less. Also, your unit must run to pull humidity out of the house. In some cases an oversized unit will not do this b/c it won't run long enough. Someone posted that they have no auxiliary heating on their unit. I don't see how that is possible. Once the outside temp gets around 35 degrees it can no longer pull heat out of the outside air to heat your house. Weather a unit is large or small it can't pull heat out of the air. Check all this with a heating and AC professional. Be careful who you deal with. There are alot of idiots out there installing heating and air units.
