Manual J Assessment
Definition
A protocol for determining the correct size HVAC equipment needed for a home.Things you need to know
Modern systems are much more efficient, so when replacing the HVAC system, simply getting a new system of the same size may not be ideal.
Also known as
Heat Load Calculation, Cooling Load Calculation
Cost Considerations
A system that is too large will cost more to run and not deliver any benefit for that extra cost. A system that is too small will become overworked and wear out faster.
Costs vary greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
