Cooling

This information will help clarify and answer some questions you may have about about central air conditioning.

Addition or remodel: Knowing whether an addition or remodel is in process will help us size up your air conditioning needs and give you a more accurate estimate. A house's structure, window area, sun exposure, and the climate will affect your cooling needs.

Manual J Sizing: A Manual J Heat Load calculation will be computer generated to obtain proper sizing of your new system. Never use "rules of thumb" such as square footage sizing or "My old unit was XXX tons". Our professional people will give you the properly sized equipment during our free estimate.

Aging system: Air conditioners have become increasingly energy efficient in the last decade. If your system may have cooled better days and nights years ago, you may want to consider having it completely replaced. If we are tying into an existing system, the older system's age will help determine its compatibility with the newer system.

Wall access: Knowing how much open access is available will help us give you a more accurate estimate. Installing central air conditioning requires access to the home's heating and cooling duct system. The more open access there is, the less labor that will be involved.
