FAQs
HVAC Installation questions
How is an HVAC system sized for my home?
Sizing is based on a load calculation that accounts for square footage, insulation, windows, and climate. Proper sizing matters because an oversized system short cycles and an undersized one runs constantly.
Can I keep my existing ductwork with a new system?
Often yes, though the ductwork is inspected for size, condition, and airflow balance. If the existing ducts don't suit the new equipment, modifications may be recommended as part of the installation.
