Load Calculations

In HVAC, Sizing Your Heating and Cooling System Correctly is Everything—Especially here in the Mountain Areas and as well as in the Piedmont Region of NC

When it comes to HVAC, getting the right size for your home or building truly is the deciding factor on true comfort and efficiency. Many times—and Carolina Comfort experts see this too often—we encounter HVAC units that are far too small for the home or space they’re trying to heat or cool. For example, to right size your system, your HVAC professional should take precise measurements and calculate what type of unit you will need for the space.

Here at Carolina Comfort, we perform two different calculations based on whether if the HVAC system is going into a residential or a commercial building. Different tools are used depending on which scenario. Therefore, Carolina Comfort does measure everything regarding your home or building. This is to ensure that the type of system that we install will work properly.

How Does Carolina Comfort Do Ensure the Right Load Calculation for My Facility or Home?

Here at Carolina Comfort, we don’t take shortcuts. In fact, there are only a few software programs that are approved by the state of NC to perform load calculations. So, when we perform a load calculation, it’s based on the detailed information like measuring the windows, doors, and ceiling heights. Plus, we will also want to know about your insulation levels. In addition, we’ll measure air leakage. We’ll also account for your local climate here in the Highlands, the Foothills, the Brushy Mountain area, and the Piedmont region. Our comfort experts account for things like sun exposure and the orientation of your home. We will also look at the number of occupants and typical habits. For instance, if a residential home has a Carolina room that is heated and cooled or one that boasts a professional kitchen that home will need a larger unit. In commercial, a metal building that’s being utilized as a professional gym is a lot different than a small office with five people. 

Are You Looking for a Reliable Load Calculation?

If you’re looking to replace your existing HVAC system, it’s best to go ahead and get a new load calculator performed. This is especially true if you’ve done a renovation or have an addition to the home or building. Give Carolina Comfort a call, and we’ll be happy to perform your load calculation or check to see if you’re your current HVAC system is sized right for your current home or facility.
