Need Load Calculations Experts in Metro Phoenix? Call us Today

Did you know that AC systems are commonly oversized in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area? Does your HVAC contractor know how to conduct a load calculation? Bottom line, it’s important your AC contractor knows what they are doing and isn’t looking to sell you something you don’t need at a higher cost.

AC Systems are Commonly Oversized

The majority of Arizona HVAC contractors out there will say they do a load calculation, but rarely do they recommend a different sized unit for fear of installing an AC unit that is too small. A bigger unit is more expensive upfront cost, and costs more to operate. We take HVAC design, sizing, and proper installation seriously to provide the best value to our customers.

Promote Cooling System Longevity

Oversized AC systems don’t run as long to reach the ideal home temperature, causing them to frequently cycle on and off. This cycling causes extra wear and tear on your AC system, and this often results in premature equipment failure. Also, an oversized system consumes more energy than is needed to keep your home cool.

FAQs

The formula for calculating load depends on the specific type of load you are referring to. Here are a few common formulas used for different types of load calculations:

  • Electrical Load (Power): The formula for calculating electrical load (in watts) is:
  • Load (Watts) = Voltage (Volts) × Current (Amperes)
  • Electrical Load (Energy): To calculate the energy consumed by an electrical load over a specific period, you can use the formula:
  • Energy (kWh) = Power (kW) × Time (hours)
  • Mechanical Load: The formula for calculating mechanical load, such as the load on a structure or a machine, varies depending on the specific application and engineering principles involved. It often involves considering factors like force, stress, weight, or torque specific to the situation.
  • Thermal Load: Thermal load calculations involve determining the amount of heat transfer required to heat or cool a space. The formulas for thermal load calculations can be complex and depend on various factors such as the size of the space, insulation levels, climate conditions, and desired temperature differentials.

It’s important to note that load calculations can be more complex in practice, and specific industries or applications may have their own specific formulas and considerations. Consulting with professionals in the respective fields, such as electrical engineers or HVAC specialists, is recommended for accurate load calculations.
