Does the contractor perform a load calculation to determine the proper size of the equipment they will install?
Good contractors understand the importance of properly sizing the heating and cooling equipment to ensure maximum comfort and proper power usage. “NOT too big and NOT too small.” This process is not done by the rule of thumb method or the square foot method. Improperly sized heating and cooling systems are all too common in North Carolina. This creates hot and cold spots in the home, it causes the home to be too moist or too dry and it can significantly increase your utility bill. Just because a manufacturer labels their equipment with an efficiency rating doesn´t mean it will work as designed, once it has been installed. The HVAC Industry is responsible for homeowners paying hundreds of millions of dollars in utility overpayment every year. In today´s economic situation, it is important to not let this happen and it starts by holding us to a very high standard and making sure you are not allowing a mechanical contractor to get away with poorly installing your homes comfort system.
