Today I came to Tina and Matt’s Airdrie home to evaluate the mechanical system for central air conditioning installation. The home was built in 2003 and is 1752 square feet. I performed a heating and cooling load calculation and found the home needs 3 tons of cooling to properly cool, and 66930 btus to properly heat. The electrical panel has enough room to accommodate a new ac system and there are already enough comptroller wires run from the furnace to the thermostat to control ac. The furnace is original to the home and is 22 years old and past its life expectancy. The water heater luckily is not original but is 11 years old nearing its life expectancy of 8-12 years. There is no water softener installed in the home and no pipe protection system to control water pressure and water expansion. Tina will discuss the options with Matt when he is back home after work and they will let us know how they choose to proceed.
