Right-Sized Heating & Cooling Systems at Home

Here is a link to a consumer level checklist to help you evaluate any proposals you request for replacing or improving your heating and cooling:  Quality Installation Checklist. Use it to find the best contractor and value for your investment.

I have been involved and aware of these processes at a high level for many years but now I'm drilling down into some of the nitty gritty details of determining the correct load, the right-sized system and properly designed duct work to maximize comfort and efficiency. A lot of this has technical aspects that are boring beyond belief, but they yield real value.
