How to Choose the Right HVAC Size for Your Home

Introduction 🏡📏

Choosing the correct HVAC size is essential for comfort, energy efficiency, and system longevity. An undersized unit will struggle to cool or heat your home, while an oversized one may short-cycle, wasting energy and wearing out faster. The key is to find a system that matches your home’s unique needs—and that’s where ANG Heating and Air Conditioning comes in.

Key Factors in HVAC Sizing

1. Square Footage of Your Home  The size of your home is the starting point. As a general rule, you need about 20 BTUs per square foot of living space.  
   👉 ANG Heating and Air Conditioning performs precise measurements to determine the correct capacity based on your home’s layout.
   ‍
2. Climate Zone  Homes in warmer climates require more cooling power, while colder regions need more heating capacity.  
   👉 Our team considers local weather patterns to recommend a system that performs efficiently year-round.
   ‍
3. Insulation and Windows  Poor insulation or drafty windows increase heat gain/loss, affecting HVAC performance.  
   👉 We assess your insulation levels and window efficiency to fine-tune your system’s size and output.
   ‍
4. Ceiling Height and Room Volume  Higher ceilings mean more air to condition.  
   👉 ANG Heating and Air Conditioning factors in room volume, not just floor space, for accurate sizing.
   ‍
5. Occupancy and Heat-Generating Appliances  People and appliances add heat to your home, increasing cooling demand.  
   👉 We include internal heat loads in our calculations to ensure your system can handle real-world conditions.
   ‍
6. Manual J Load Calculation  This industry-standard method considers all the above factors to determine the exact HVAC size needed.  
   👉 Our experts canperform a Manual J load calculation to deliver a system that’s neither too big nor too small—just right.
