I had to replace my hvac unit recently. I was very satisfied with every phase of this purchase from the salesman to the installation crew. I will recommend American Heating and Cooling to all my friends.

How to properly size an HVAC system for a new construction project in Nashville

When it comes to new construction projects in Nashville, proper HVAC sizing is absolutely crucial. But what does “proper” HVAC sizing even mean? And why is it so important?

At American Heating and Cooling, we believe that proper HVAC sizing is all about creating a comfortable, energy-efficient environment for the people who will be living or working in the building. And in Nashville, with its hot summers and mild winters, this is especially important.

Factors To Consider

When we size an HVAC system for a new construction project, we take a number of factors into account. Of course, the square footage of the building is important. But we also consider the number of rooms, the number of occupants, and even the local climate. That’s because all of these things can have a big impact on how much heating and cooling capacity the building will need.

How to determine the correct size

So how do we determine the appropriate size for an HVAC system? There are a few different methods we might use, such as using a load calculation tool, consulting with a professional HVAC contractor, or using industry-standard guidelines. But the bottom line is that we take a holistic, data-driven approach to ensure that we’re giving the building exactly the amount of heating and cooling it needs.

Choose the right type of HVAC system

But determining the right size for an HVAC system is just the first step. We also need to choose the right type of system. There are a lot of options out there, from central air conditioning to ductless mini-splits to geothermal systems. And each has its own pros and cons. But we’ll work with you to find the best solution for your particular building and budget.

Making your home comfortable

At the end of the day, proper HVAC sizing is all about creating a comfortable, energy-efficient environment for the people who will be living or working in the building. And that’s exactly what we do at American Heating and Cooling. We’re experts in HVAC, and we’re here to help you make the best decisions for your new construction project in Nashville.

"I had nine house guest this weekend. My brother in law, sister in law, niece and new baby were all staying in the basement. I had not been in the basement in months. They woke up Saturday morning freezing. The unit was down. Laura called American. Chad came right out and fixed the unit. He was prompt, efficient, pleasant and a good representative of your company. Just thought you should know. See you next time."
