What Size HVAC System Do You Need?
The size of an HVAC system needed for a home is typically based on several factors, most importantly the square footage of the home. The goal is to ensure the system is appropriately sized to provide sufficient heating and cooling without being too large (which leads to inefficiency) or too small (which can result in underperformance).
Here's a simplified guide to estimating the size of an HVAC system:
- Square footage of your home: The general rule of thumb is that you need about 20-30 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per square foot of space. However, this can vary based on climate, insulation, and other factors.
- Climate zone:
- Colder climates: May require a system with a higher BTU output per square foot.
- Warmer climates: You may need slightly fewer BTUs per square foot.
- Basic calculation formula: Multiply the square footage of your home by 20–30 to get a rough estimate of the required BTU output. For example: a 2,000 square foot home: 2,000 sq. ft. x 25 BTUs = 50,000 BTUs
- Ton capacity: HVAC systems are typically measured in "tons," with 1 ton equating to 12,000 BTUs.
Example: A system with 50,000 BTUs (2,000 sq. ft. home) would need a 4-ton HVAC system (60,000 ÷ 12,000 = 4).
What Are the Signs of a Failing HVAC System?
Signs of a failing HVAC system can vary, but some common indicators include:
- Inconsistent temperatures
- Unusual noises
- Increased energy bills
- Frequent cycling
- Poor airflow
- Foul odors
- Excessive humidity or dryness
- System age
- Constant repairs
- Refrigerant leaks
- Poor indoor air quality
- System won't turn on
When you notice these signs, it's often best to have one of our professional HVAC technicians inspect the system to determine if repair or replacement is necessary.

How Often Should You Service Your HVAC System?
It's generally recommended to service your HVAC system twice a year to keep it running efficiently and to extend its lifespan. Here’s a breakdown:
Biannual Service:
- Once in the spring: Focus on preparing the air conditioning (AC) system for the warmer months.
- Once in the fall: Prepare the heating system (furnace or heat pump) for the colder months.
Regular Maintenance Includes:
- Cleaning or replacing air filters (typically every 3 months depending on usage and filter type)
- Inspecting and cleaning the coils (evaporator and condenser)
- Checking refrigerant levels and recharging if necessary
- Inspecting and lubricating moving parts, such as motors and fans
- Checking the thermostat to ensure proper functioning
- Inspecting ductwork for leaks or obstructions
- Checking electrical connections and testing system safety controls
- Inspecting and cleaning the blower motor and fan
- Ensuring proper airflow through the system
Signs That More Frequent Service Is Needed:
- If your system is older (10+ years).
- If you notice unusual performance issues like inconsistent temperatures or strange noises.
- If you live in an area with extreme temperatures or high humidity.
- If you have pets, as hair and dander can clog filters more quickly.
Routine maintenance can help catch small issues before they become larger problems and keep your HVAC system running efficiently year-round.
