Many aspects contribute to heating and cooling loads. Texas humidity levels affect your cooling comfort significantly. Your homes design, directional orientation, window size and directional orientation, inches of attic insulation and outdoor shade contribute to the homes ability to maintain your comfortable temperature in all seasons.

Our "heat load calculation expert" schedules a thorough walk through to perform your homes heat load test. Information is gathered based on thermal enclosures and internal features. Thermal enclosures consist of the homes directional orientation, windows, attic insulation, and external shading. Internal features consist of location of the ductwork, lights, electronics and the amount of people living in the home space.
