Image(s)

Technical Description
A trained contractor or qualified designer will determine a home’s specific heating and cooling loads to establish the right size equipment. This is achieved with sizing calculations based on recognized industry standards, like those developed by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America. Right-sized equipment does a better job of providing comfort compared to wrong-sized equipment that struggles to meet targeted temperatures and short cycles. That is, it will start and stop too frequently as it struggles to provide the correct temperature and dehumidification.
