An oversized condenser cools fast but never dehumidifies properly — we size to the actual load, not the old unit's tonnage.
Written estimates separate equipment cost from labor clearly.
If you're dealing with a home that's always felt muggy even with the AC running, a condenser that's finally beyond repair, or a new addition needing its own cooling capacity, you already know an oversized condenser is one of the most common and least-discussed installation mistakes — it cools the air fast without ever running long enough to remove humidity.
