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

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

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