Energy Calculations & Load Analysis
Accurate system sizing is the foundation of efficient, effective heating and cooling. We use industry-standard calculations to ensure your HVAC system is perfectly matched to your home.Our detailed energy calculations ensure your system is perfectly sized for your home, providing maximum comfort and efficiency.
Why Proper Sizing Matters
Many HVAC systems are improperly sized. An oversized system cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to properly dehumidify your home. An undersized system runs constantly, struggling to reach the desired temperature and wearing out prematurely.
The only way to know the right size for your home is through a proper load calculation. This isn't guesswork—it's science. We analyze your home's unique characteristics to determine exactly how much heating and cooling capacity you need.
What We Consider
Square Footage & Layout
The size and configuration of your home directly impacts heating and cooling requirements.
Sun Exposure & Orientation
Windows, skylights, and which direction rooms face affect how much heat enters your home.
Insulation & Construction
Your home's insulation levels, wall construction, and air sealing impact energy needs.
Already Have a System That's Not Working Well?
If your current system never seems to keep up, cycles too often, or leaves some rooms uncomfortable, improper sizing might be the culprit. A load calculation can help diagnose the issue and guide future decisions.
Manual J
This is the first step in professional system design. A Manual J calculation figures out how much heating and cooling your home truly needs by looking at square footage, insulation levels, windows, doors, sun exposure, and even local weather. It prevents oversized or undersized equipment, which means lower energy bills, better comfort, and longer system life.
Manual S
Once we know how much heating and cooling your home requires, we use Manual S to select the exact piece of equipment that matches those needs. It makes sure the air conditioner, heat pump, or furnace we install is sized correctly and will perform efficiently under Florida’s real-world conditions
Manual D
After choosing the right system, Manual D is used to design the ductwork. It ensures every duct is the right size and properly balanced so that air flows evenly throughout the home. This keeps all rooms comfortable and helps your system run more quietly and efficiently.
Florida Form R405
This is an official Florida energy code form required for permitting. It documents that the heating and cooling system design — including the Manual J, S, and D — meets the state’s energy efficiency standards. In other words, it’s proof that your system is designed to code, helping you stay compliant and ensuring long-term energy savings.
