Understanding HVAC Sizing

Bigger Isn't Better

An oversized system cools quickly but cycles off before removing humidity. You'll feel cold but clammy, and the system wears out faster.

Manual J Is the Standard

ACCA Manual J is the industry standard load calculation. Any reputable contractor will run this — not just match your old system's size.

Insulation Matters More Than You Think

A well-insulated home needs 15–20% less HVAC capacity. Improving insulation before replacing your HVAC can let you buy a smaller, cheaper system.
