You need a new HVAC system in Cos Cob. Maybe you are adding central heating and cooling to a home that currently relies on window units, baseboard heaters, or wall units in Cos Cob, CT. Maybe the existing system failed and repair costs relative to its age make a new installation the right investment in Cos Cob. Maybe the system is 15 years old, still running, but you want to replace it before it fails at the worst possible time and on equipment that is 40 percent less efficient than what is available today in Cos Cob, CT. In each case, you are making an investment that will determine how your home heats and cools for the next 15 to 20 years in Cos Cob. And the decisions that determine whether that investment performs as expected are the sizing decision and the installation quality in Cos Cob, CT.
Here is what most homeowners do not realize about HVAC equipment in Cos Cob. The efficiency rating on a new HVAC system is the efficiency it achieves under laboratory test conditions in Cos Cob, CT. What you actually experience in your home is the efficiency the installation produces in Cos Cob. A high-efficiency system installed with an incorrect refrigerant charge operates at a significantly lower efficiency than its rating in Cos Cob, CT. A correctly charged system installed on ductwork with significant leakage delivers a fraction of its rated cooling capacity to the living spaces in Cos Cob. And a correctly charged, correctly installed system that is the wrong size for your home's actual load produces persistent humidity problems or inadequate comfort regardless of its efficiency rating in Cos Cob, CT. The equipment rating is the ceiling. The installation quality determines whether you get anywhere near it in Cos Cob.

The variables that determine real-world HVAC performance are all controlled during installation in Cos Cob. Correct refrigerant charge, which affects both efficiency and cooling or heating capacity in Cos Cob, CT. Correct airflow through the indoor coil, which affects heat transfer efficiency in Cos Cob. Correct duct system compatibility, which determines how much of the system's conditioned air actually reaches the living spaces in Cos Cob, CT. And correct system sizing, which determines whether the system produces the right amount of conditioning for the home's actual load in Cos Cob. Every one of these variables is set during installation. Getting them right at installation is significantly easier than correcting them after the fact in Cos Cob, CT.

An oversized HVAC system reaches the thermostat setpoint quickly without adequately conditioning the rest of the home or removing adequate humidity from the circulated air in Cos Cob, CT. In cooling mode, the short cycles an oversized system produces do not run long enough to dehumidify effectively in Cos Cob. Indoor humidity remains elevated despite the air conditioner running in Cos Cob, CT. The home feels cold and clammy rather than cool and comfortable in Cos Cob. And the frequent startup and shutdown cycles accumulate wear on the compressor that shortens the system's service life in Cos Cob, CT.
An undersized HVAC system runs continuously in extreme weather without reaching the thermostat setpoint in Cos Cob. The home is consistently warmer in summer and cooler in winter than the thermostat calls for during the most demanding weather in Cos Cob, CT. The system runs at maximum capacity for extended periods, consuming maximum energy while delivering inadequate comfort in Cos Cob.
MBM performs a Manual J load calculation for every HVAC installation in Cos Cob. The calculation accounts for floor area, ceiling height, insulation R-values in all building assemblies, window area, orientation and SHGC, local design temperatures, and internal heat gains in Cos Cob, CT. The output is the correct system capacity for the specific home in Cos Cob. Not an estimate based on square footage alone in Cos Cob, CT.
Manual J determines the correct system capacity. Manual D designs the duct system. Manual J determines the correct system capacity in Cos Cob, CT. Manual D designs the duct system to correctly distribute the conditioned air that capacity produces to each room in Cos Cob. A correctly sized system installed on an incorrectly designed duct system cannot deliver the right amount of conditioned air to each room regardless of its overall capacity in Cos Cob, CT. Both calculations are required for a complete installation that performs correctly at the room level in Cos Cob. MBM performs both as standard components of every complete HVAC installation in Cos Cob, CT.
