Your home should be the place that is the most comfortable and satisfying space in your life. If your HVAC system is not sized properly or is not the appropriate design for your home not only will it be uncomfortable, it will also cost you a lot more money than it should. ACCA certified Manual J is the procedure used by the entire industry for a reason. By designing the proper ductwork to go along with the correct size of air conditioning unit, your home can and will run at maximum comfort. This allows you to have a more comforting place to call your own.
Professionals use this method to calculate the cooling load of a particular building. This allows them to come up with the most effective HVAC system so that the homeowner is not throwing money away on unnecessarily high energy bills. The right AC design is one that includes an air conditioning unit that is neither oversized nor undersized.
If your air conditioner is undersized for your home it will struggle to keep the interior temperature at a comfortable level and it will not condition the house fast enough. Undersized heating and cooling equipment is always running and will never satisfy the required temperature. The undersized equipment will not last as long as a properly sized system.
On the other hand, if it is oversized, it will condition the house too fast without properly dehumidifying the room. This will cause pockets of stagnant air and a clammy feeling to the air.
Often contractors use "rules-of-thumb" to figure out the size of the heating unit, without considering some important variables such as, the internal heat gain and loss, moisture content, building orientation, ventilation and infiltration, resulting an incorrectly-sized heating system.
A lot of people believe that purchasing an air conditioning unit that is bigger than what their demands require is a good idea. They theorize that if the air conditioner is oversized it will not have to work as hard to cool their home down. This could not be further from the truth, however. An AC unit that is too large will run more often and use more energy than a properly sized unit. The right balance for your home means having the right size of equipment. This will deliver the right comfort and with the least amount of energy used possible and translates into huge savings for you.
ACCA certified Manual J reports allow professionals in the industry to quickly and easily determine exactly the {right|perfect| system to meet your needs.
