The goal of this tool is to help guide contractors and installers through the decision-making process for thermal system replacement sizing, system selection, and installation guidance. Users will provide some general information about the home and existing equipment. The tool will provide guidance on system capacity, configuration, and installation. Completion of the tool may take between 15 and 30 minutes.

Please start by providing information about the home, existing heating and cooling equipment, and the project objective below.
