We perform detailed load calculations that consider your home’s insulation, window types and placement, ceiling height, sun exposure, and local climate factors. San Francisco’s marine layer and occasional heat spikes create unique cooling requirements that generic sizing charts don’t account for.
An oversized unit wastes energy and creates humidity problems. An undersized system runs constantly without keeping you comfortable. Our sizing ensures optimal efficiency, comfort, and equipment longevity for your specific situation.
