With your frantic life style you don't have time to worry about producing an ACCA Certified Manual J Load Calculation.
You are too busy doing things that are more important. Just keep in mind, without the required Manual J, your rebate will be denied. Don't let this happen to you. Plan ahead.
A quality installation begins with a professional design. A professional design begins with a quality load calculation. You need a report based on computerized analysis which indicates the heating and cooling capacities an installed system will need. This analysis is based on the specific thermal characteristics of your home with internal loads and appliances taken into consideration.
Submission of an HVAC Manual J Load Analysis is a code in many states, such as New York, and for many state and utility HVAC rebate programs it is an application requirement. A professionally prepared HVAC Manual J Load Calculation Report provides you with the design basics to help select a properly sized heating and cooling system. A properly sized system maximizes comfort and reduces energy costs, resulting in more satisfied customers.
The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) Manual J Residential Load Calculation Procedure is the accepted industry standard for the proper sizing and selection of HVAC equipment in residential applications. Manual J outlines the accurate procedure which can be used to estimate the heat loss and heat gain for conventional residential structures. A professional ACCA Certified Manual J Load Calculation report is based on ACCA's Manual J 8th Edition, inclusive of all four addenda to the 8th edition. You should find a Certified Manual J provider who utilizes an ACCA recognized software such as WrightSoft Universal and Elite. Both are recognized Load Analysis software programs fro EnergyStar, building permit code comliance, LEED certification, Build Green projects and energy efficient mortgages. Make sure your installing contractor or engineering consultant does not use a cheap, non-ACCA certified software to produce your required Manual J Load Calculation Report or it could be rejected and you could lose your EnergyStar rebate. Be an informed consumer.
