SIZING (MANUAL J, S & D)
Why did I measure your whole house before quoting?
Equipment should be sized to your home, not to the old unit’s label. A Manual J load calculation figures how much heating and cooling each room needs; Manual S picks equipment to match; Manual D designs ducts to deliver it.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Signs you might notice.
- A system that short-cycles or never shuts off
- Humidity problems after a replacement
- Quotes that just match the old tonnage
WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT
Every replacement starts with a load calculation. You get the numbers with your proposal.
