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

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

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