Recently, there has been an increased focus on the role of Manual J load calculation in properly sizing air conditioning equipment. For those who may not be familiar, Manual J is a calculation used to determine the amount of heat that must be removed from a building in order to maintain a comfortable temperature. This calculation is based on factors such as the building’s size, orientation, and thermal characteristics, as well as the number of occupants, the amount of heat generated by appliances and lighting, and the climate outside.

At Arctic Fox Cooling, we rely on Manual J load calculations to ensure that the air conditioning equipment we install is properly sized for your home. This is because an improperly sized unit can lead to several problems, including:

• Reduced energy efficiency. An undersized system works harder and runs longer, leading to higher energy bills.
• Short cycling. An undersized system can cycle on and off frequently, leading to premature wear and tear on the system.
• Poor air quality. An undersized system can’t effectively remove humidity from your home, leading to poor indoor air quality.
• Uncomfortable temperatures. An undersized system can’t adequately cool your home, leading to hot spots and uncomfortable temperatures.

Manual J load calculations are essential to properly sizing air conditioning equipment, and at Arctic Fox Cooling, we take this step very seriously. Our experienced technicians will take the time to accurately assess your home and calculate the amount of cooling capacity you need. This ensures that the air conditioning system we install is the right size for your home, leading to improved energy efficiency, better air quality, and more comfortable temperatures.
