Best Answer

HVAC Load Calculation is a formula used by a contractor salesmen that determines the proper tonnage size of heating and cooling systems to be installed in Residential or Commercial applications.

The formula is used to calculate the total cooling and heating BTU'S (British Thermal Units) for the proper values of determining the correct tonnage to be installed in HVAC applications. Tonnage is the size of the HVAC system.

Without this Load calculation the wrong tonnage could be installed and it causing to much humidity in the summer in cooling season and not enough heating in the winter season.

Also the HVAC system may never stop running to reach the proper temperature that the thermostat is set for. Thus causing high electricity out of pocket cost.
