Free HVAC Sizing Snapshot

Quick HVAC Load Calculator

Get a fast starting-point estimate for heating and cooling capacity based on location, square footage, ceiling height, insulation, sun exposure, windows, occupants, and internal heat sources.

Use this as a conversation starter. This calculator is designed to give a broad planning range. A professional room-by-room Manual J load calculation is still the right next step before selecting equipment, designing ductwork, or making project decisions.

Why this is useful

It gives homeowners and contractors a quick capacity snapshot before spending money on design work.

Why it is limited

Real HVAC loads depend on windows, orientation, assemblies, infiltration, duct location, ventilation, and room-by-room details.

Best next step

Use this estimate as a starting point, then order a professional Manual J before final equipment selection.
