You need a new HVAC system in Des Moines. Maybe you are adding central heating and cooling to a home that currently relies on window units, baseboard heaters, or wall units in Des Moines, WA. Maybe the existing system failed and repair costs relative to its age make a new installation the right investment in Des Moines. 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 Des Moines, WA. 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 Des Moines. And the decisions that determine whether that investment performs as expected are the sizing decision and the installation quality in Des Moines, WA.
Here is what most homeowners do not realize about HVAC equipment in Des Moines. The efficiency rating on a new HVAC system is the efficiency it achieves under laboratory test conditions in Des Moines, WA. What you actually experience in your home is the efficiency the installation produces in Des Moines. A high-efficiency system installed with an incorrect refrigerant charge operates at a significantly lower efficiency than its rating in Des Moines, WA. A correctly charged system installed on ductwork with significant leakage delivers a fraction of its rated cooling capacity to the living spaces in Des Moines. 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 Des Moines, WA. The equipment rating is the ceiling. The installation quality determines whether you get anywhere near it in Des Moines.

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

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 Des Moines, WA. In cooling mode, the short cycles an oversized system produces do not run long enough to dehumidify effectively in Des Moines. Indoor humidity remains elevated despite the air conditioner running in Des Moines, WA. The home feels cold and clammy rather than cool and comfortable in Des Moines. And the frequent startup and shutdown cycles accumulate wear on the compressor that shortens the system's service life in Des Moines, WA.
An undersized HVAC system runs continuously in extreme weather without reaching the thermostat setpoint in Des Moines. The home is consistently warmer in summer and cooler in winter than the thermostat calls for during the most demanding weather in Des Moines, WA. The system runs at maximum capacity for extended periods, consuming maximum energy while delivering inadequate comfort in Des Moines.
MBM performs a Manual J load calculation for every HVAC installation in Des Moines. 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 Des Moines, WA. The output is the correct system capacity for the specific home in Des Moines. Not an estimate based on square footage alone in Des Moines, WA.
Manual J determines the correct system capacity. Manual D designs the duct system. Manual J determines the correct system capacity in Des Moines, WA. Manual D designs the duct system to correctly distribute the conditioned air that capacity produces to each room in Des Moines. 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 Des Moines, WA. Both calculations are required for a complete installation that performs correctly at the room level in Des Moines. MBM performs both as standard components of every complete HVAC installation in Des Moines, WA.

A repair that costs more than 50 percent of the cost of a new system on a system that is more than 10 years old warrants serious consideration of replacement in Des Moines, WA. A second significant repair within a few seasons on an aging system suggests the system is entering the period of accelerating component failure in Des Moines.
A system that is 15 years old or more is in the final years of its designed service life regardless of whether it is currently operating in Des Moines.
