Proper HVAC Sizing Starts with Professional Load Calculations

Many factors go into our AC sizing and heating load calculation services, including:

  • Square footage

  • Insulation

Our technicians determine how quickly heat transfer occurs in your property. We also look at the base floor surface area and ceiling height for total air volume.

Manual J Load Calculations for Maximum Efficiency

A Manual J Load calculation is the industry-standard protocol for heating and air conditioning sizing. Our technicians take measurements and apply our data to produce the precise BTU requirements.

We check your property’s orientation compared to the unit’s location. Our professionals calculate U-factor ratings and SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) data.

We include R-value numbers in our data set, along with shell tightness and latent moisture load information. HVAC system sizing is not guesswork. We mathematically determine the properly sized systems you need.

Oversized vs. Undersized HVAC Units

Oversized units tend to short-cycle. They send a quick burst of conditioned air that triggers the thermostat. The HVAC unit then shuts off, only to quickly kick on again.

This creates a lot of wear and tear. Undersized units can run excessively long to hit the right temperature. This not only facilitates damage but also spikes energy bills. We only install properly sized units.

Benefits of properly sized HVAC equipment include:
  • No short-cycling
  • Limited unit overuse
  • Potential monthly energy savings
  • Less wear and tear
  • Optimal humidity control
  • Quieter operation
  • Improved comfort

Frequently Asked Questions

British Thermal Units, or “BTUs,” are units of heat energy. One BTU raises the temperature of a pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. HVAC equipment uses BTU measurements to indicate how much heating or cooling a unit can provide.

Proper sizing equates to better comfort, improved energy efficiency, superior humidity control, and longer system life. These units are less likely to short-cycle or wear themselves out from extended runtimes. AirMakers focuses on units of the correct size.
