Based on a homes square footage, is there a “rule of thumb” that can be used to determine the proper size of HVAC equipment?
Yes On most residential applications, for every 550-600 sq. ft. of living space, one should figure approximately one ton of cooling. Systems are available in 1/2 tons also. Example: A home has 2100 square feet @ 600 square feet per ton, it would need a 3 1/2 ton system. Warning: This is only what it states to be, A RULE OF THUMB. In order to properly calculate a home’s heating and cooling needs, a thorough evaluation of a home’s energy efficiency needs to be completed. This can be done for you at no cost by our Project Management Team. Call 352-3090.
