Manual J
Why Pay for a Manual J Load Calculation?
Manual J is the industry-standard method for determining the correct heating and cooling load for residential buildings in North America. By accounting for factors such as wall and ceiling area, insulation levels, air leakage, window construction and orientation, and many other factors, we can ensure that every HVAC system is correctly sized for the proposed building, ensuring optimum comfort, energy usage, and maximum life of the system.
Key Benefits
Increased Indoor Air Quality: Increased system run time through proper sizing allows for more complete filtration and ventilation of the space.
Greater Human Comfort: A properly sized AC allows for more event temperatures across the home, eliminating nuisance hot and cold spots.
Optimal Humidity Levels: Longer run times mean greater dehumidification during Summer cooling months.
Less Wear and Tear: Less stopping and starting of motors and relays due to over-cycling will extend the life of the system.
Optimal Energy Usage: A smaller sized system that stops and starts less will actually provide decreased electrical energy usage.
Municipal Code Compliance: A Manual J Load Calculation will ensure your project is in compliance with state laws and municipal code requirements.
