No one needs to do a load calc.

The Carrier guy said he doesn't need to know any of that information and I was looking to install a greenspeed. all he said to me was he recommends a performance model and it is more common. he asked me to send him the house plans.

The Whestinghouse said I needed a 3 ton without a load cals.

I cant get a response from anyone when I ask them to do a load cals.

What do I do when I can't install it myself.

I know I need a 2 ton for cooling and a 2 ton for heating, I would like to have a 2.5 ton for heating in the northing environment.

I have a heat gain of 21475 and a heat loss of 24672. this is baesd on 7 degrees. so a 2 ton is all I need.

Everyone here seems to go by rule of thumb.

Problem is we are isolated in St. John's NL canada and there are a handful of people that do this. Cost is 10 fold of what you would normally pay. I don't mind paying the cost i just want it done how it should be done.

Fly me up, I'll do it for 10x what I would normally get for a 2 ton inverter drive heat pump and duct system...lol Just keep looking and demand a load calc etc. I'm guessing there is no one in your area on the contractor locator on this site or the ones I linked or www.resnet.us www.natex.org

I would like to think there are alot of qualified and good HVAC people here I think they use ROT more than necessary

**JimmyP** · 03-31-2013, 01:20 AM

I should say use the ROT more than they should or never use it at all

Find out who the local distributor is of your desired equipment and call them, explaining that you would like a dealer that will do a Manual J. Or if they would be able to complete one on your home.
