How to Calculate Heating & Cooling System Sizes for Your Home

What size of HVAC do you need for your home? This is a common question and one that many people don’t know the answer to. The answer, however, can be found by taking into account several factors. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to determine what size HVAC system you need for your home so that you get the best value possible - .

You might have to measure the floor space on your own. You can find this number written down somewhere, or you could use a tape measure to determine its length and width. To do that, move it around from one corner of each room onto the next until you’ve made all four corners meet in an X shape at every point where they cross paths with another side (or hallway). The square footage is found by multiplying these measurements together for each individual room. Add up all those numbers when finished measuring them out -

The unit used to measure energy for heating and cooling is the British Thermal Unit or BTU. The approximate amount of energy needed to cool a square foot in your home ranges from 25-100 BTUs depending on where you live geographically. Multiplying this number by the total square footage of your house gives an idea of how much power will be consumed per day when running AC units throughout the summer months!

If your home has a very high ceiling, you can multiply the base BTU amount by 1.25 to find out how much more of this heat-producing energy source is needed for comfort in that space. For example: If an AC unit with 1500 square feet and average 8-foot ceilings would need about 37,500 BTUs – but if it had 12-foot ceilings instead? That same size room would require 50% more power!

Tonnage, as it relates to air conditioning systems, refers to the amount of heat required in order for one ton of ice (which is a metric unit) to melt. With this definition in mind then 1 Ton cooling capacity means that an AC must be able to cool down 130 sq ft room within 24 hours which won’t take more than 27kW strength– but what about if your living or bedrooms are 185 sq feet? The way around such high-energy needs is by selecting and installing a 2 Ton system because these require less energy due to their increased efficiency!

An AC that is efficient enough to provide maximum cooling while consuming the least amount of energy will save you on your electric bill. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency provides a star rating for each device, with 5 stars being the most optimal choice. This way, it’s easy to compare how much power an appliance uses and be able to make informed decisions about what purchase options are best when looking for workable solutions in times like these!

A good air conditioner should clean the indoor air and keep you comfortable in all seasons. The unit needs to have filters to capture smoke, unpleasant odors, dust particles as well as other impurities. Moreover, it is also a bonus if the AC has dehumidification features that reduce humidity levels during monsoon season when its more humid inside which can be uncomfortable for some people’s skin conditions or allergies like asthma, etc

The latest innovations in ACs are designed to suit your needs. Sleep Mode helps you sleep better, the Jet Cool and Quick cool features make for a quicker summer chill, while Mosquito Away keeps pesky mosquitoes away!

The last and most important step is to shop around. It’s so important that you feel confident in your HVAC purchase, especially because it’s easy for a less-than-honest dealer or salesperson to take advantage of someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing with this equipment. Check out the ratings of dealers near you on Yelp, Facebook, Google, etc! Choosing one with proper training and experience will help ensure that when we install our new system, it’ll be perfect for your home from day one without all those headaches associated with poor installation practices by some poorly trained technicians.

To find out how much power and ductwork you need in order to keep your family happy, consider these three variables. What are the insulation values of your house? How often does it get too hot or cold where you live? And how large is your home? These factors will help determine what size HVAC system is right for you.
