Before You Buy

Questions to Ask Any Installer

Oversized systems cost more upfront and run less efficiently — here's what actually matters.

1. Load Calculation
2. SEER Rating
3. Ductwork Check
4. Permit Requirements
Protocol Focus · Sizing

Ask for a Manual J Load Calculation, Not a Guess

A properly sized system is based on your home's square footage, insulation, window count, and orientation — not simply matching the tonnage of the unit being replaced.

An oversized system short-cycles, wearing out components faster and leaving humidity high.
An undersized system runs constantly and still can't keep up on the hottest days.
Ask to see the load calculation worksheet before signing anything.

Why Sizing Matters in Houston

What Makes Houston Installations Different

HUMIDITY

Latent load matters

Houston's humidity means dehumidification capacity matters as much as raw cooling tonnage.

ATTIC HEAT

Attic-installed systems

Attic ductwork in Houston attics regularly exceeds 130°F, affecting efficiency.

CODE

Local code compliance

Harris County has specific permitting and inspection requirements.

ELECTRICAL

Electrical capacity checks

Older homes often need panel upgrades to support high-efficiency systems.
