Subject field(s)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
  • Heating
DEF

... a heating or cooling system that is too large for a home.

OBS

Such a system will run for only a short period of time before the temperature of the home is satisfied, and not operate as efficiently as a system that is sized accurately, as most systems take several minutes to reach peak operating efficiency.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
  • Chauffage
DEF

Système de chauffage ou de refroidissement trop puissant pour la grandeur de la maison.

OBS

Un tel système ne fonctionnera que durant une courte période avant d'atteindre une température de la maison satisfaisante et ne fonctionnera pas avec autant d'efficacité qu'un système d'une puissance appropriée puisque la plupart des systèmes prennent plusieurs minutes avant d'atteindre leur meilleur rendement.
