These are ACCA's residential design standards — the framework behind a properly designed HVAC replacement.
How much heating and cooling your home actually needs, room by room, based on its size, insulation, windows, air leakage and our local weather. This number should come before any equipment is chosen.
Choosing equipment that matches the Manual J load using manufacturer performance data — including how a heat pump performs at low outdoor temperatures, not just its nominal size.
How air gets delivered: duct sizing, runs and airflow so each room receives what the design calls for. Existing ducts are evaluated against the new equipment's airflow needs.
You don't need to run these yourself. You need a contractor who can tell you whether they were done, and show you the result your proposal is based on.
Answer a few questions about your home and your project. Your request goes to Allred Heating, and we respond with next steps and a site-specific, itemized proposal — not an advertised starting price.
