What size HVAC unit do I need?What size HVAC unit do I need?
We’re all guilty of it. We’ve all stood in front of the size section at the store and asked, “What size do I need?” – but as many people have learned the hard way, this is not an easy question to answer! The best thing you can do is educate yourself on how to determine what size HVAC you need before you go shopping for one. This blog post will cover everything from choosing a heat pump or air conditioner to sizing your unit based on square footage - . To find out the space in your home, measure each room and hallway individually to get a total. You can either look for this information written down somewhere or do it yourself by using a tape measure.
The result is typically found as square footage – take both measurements (length x width) of each individual area then multiply them together - A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the unit used to measure the energy consumed for heating and cooling. For example, it takes roughly 25 BTUs per square foot of your home to cool a single room; so multiply this by how many square feet are in your home to get an approximation of how much you’re consuming. When it comes to determining the BTU requirements for your home, you’ll need a little math. If your ceiling is over 8 feet high then multiply by 1.25 and if not use the base number of BTUs (1500 square foot house with standard ceilings). Once we have obtained those numbers, plug them into some equations like AC=12000/BTUS required or furnace=(BTUList)/efficiency as a decimal) Tonnage is an important factor to consider when choosing your AC unit. It refers to the cooling capacity of the system, with one ton being defined as how much heat it takes for 1 ton of ice in 24 hours. To choose a good size according to your needs, you want at least 13 tons if living alone and 25-30 tons if there are two or more people per room depending on whether they’re using air conditioning together; each person should have about 10-12 Tons worth (or 2TONS) so that everyone has enough air flow during those hot summer days! An AC’s level of energy efficiency determines how much power it will use. Star ratings are assigned by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency and help you gauge an appliance’s potential to lower your electricity bill; a 5-star rating is higher quality than 1 star, which means that in general, more stars mean better performance (less money spent on running costs).
Inverters offer another way for consumers to enjoy efficient cooling without giving up such high levels of air conditioning capacity. The air conditioning unit you purchase is the key to creating a comfortable environment in your home. An AC installation that includes filters, dehumidification capabilities, and other features will ensure cleaner indoor air for all seasons of the year. The latest innovations in ACs are designed to suit your needs. Sleep Mode helps you sleep better, the Jet Cool and Quick cool features make for a quicker summer chill, while Mosquito Away keeps pesky mosquitoes away! The last and most important step is to shop around. It’s so important that you feel confident in your HVAC purchase, especially because it’s easy for a less-than-honest dealer or salesperson to take advantage of someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing with this equipment. Check out the ratings of dealers near you on Yelp, Facebook, Google, etc! Choosing one with proper training and experience will help ensure that when we install our new system, it’ll be perfect for your home from day one without all those headaches associated with poor installation practices by some poorly trained technicians. This blog post has given you all of the information that you need to find out how much power and ductwork your HVAC system needs. You will want to consider insulation, geographic location, and square footage in order to make this decision.
