Sizing an HVAC system is not a “one-size-fits-all” process. An oversized system will cycle on and off too frequently, leading to poor humidity control, uneven temperatures, and wasted energy. An undersized system will struggle to keep up, leading to discomfort and increased wear and tear.

Our detailed Manual J calculation process includes:

1. Home Analysis: We gather information about your home’s square footage, ceiling height, and orientation.

2. Building Envelope Assessment: We evaluate your insulation levels, window U-factors, and door specifications.

3. Internal Heat Gains: We account for heat sources inside the home, such as people, appliances, and lighting.

4. Duct Design (Manual D): The calculation informs our duct design to ensure proper airflow to every room.

By performing a Manual J, we guarantee that the system we recommend will be the right size for your home’s unique needs, maximizing your comfort and minimizing your energy costs.
