No one needs to do a load calc.

[JimmyP]

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

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.
