How Do We Size the Right Unit for Your Home?

|

Unit size isn’t a minor detail—get it wrong and you’ll lose most of the efficiency you were trying to gain in the first place.

We use measurements from your home to determine the right size, rather than defaulting to a one-size-fits-all guess.

Hear our team explain the process in their own words:

How We Determine the Right Unit Size

We size every unit using a load calculation—what our team calls a “load calc.” It accounts for the specific conditions of your home: window placement, insulation, areas where heat escapes, and more. That data tells us exactly what size unit your home needs, so we’re not guessing bigger or smaller and hoping for the best.

An oversized unit short-cycles and wastes energy. An undersized one runs constantly and never quite keeps up. Either way, you don’t get the efficiency you paid for. The load calc takes that risk off the table.

If you have questions this video doesn’t cover, we’re happy to talk them through. Reach us at (320) 500-6073.
