Hometown Heating, Air & Electric

We have been in communication with Radius Properties regarding his situation and tried multiple times to explain why he is experiencing this issue. The short answer is the air conditioner is too large and that was installed by someone else, not Hometown. Before we install any heating or cooling equipment, we conduct a load calculation of the space to ensure we are installing the right size equipment. This was done at the property in question and that determined the size of the equipment we installed. After the inital complaint from the property manager we even hired a third party at our own expense to see if we made a mistake. Based on the load calculation that we shared from Eagle Design, the space they are trying to heat with the furnace we installed is 54,000 BTUs. The furnace we installed has a capacity to heat a space up to 70,000 BTUs, so the furnace size is appropriate. However, the load calculation also shows the same space only requires 2.8 tons of cooling. The condenser that someone else installed is actually 5 tons and too large for that space and that's why they are experiencing issues. We recommended they reach out to the contractor that installed the oversized air conditioner in order to rectify the situation. If we install a larger furnace as Mr. Oiler has requested, it will make his situation worse and cause further problems, especially during the heating season. His furnace would ramp up too quickly and after satisfying the set temperature it would turn off. This is referred to as short cycling and will put unnecessary wear and tear on the furnace causing breakdowns and reducing the longevity of the equipment. I can appreciate with multiple HVAC contractors involved the customer may be told different things and the challenge becomes trying to determine who?s right. That?s why we engaged Eagle Design, an independent, objective expert in the HVAC field to assess the situation and tell the customer exactly what?s going on and what is needed to resolve the issue. Our hope was this information would help him resolve his situation with the contractor who installed his oversized air conditioner. We have shared the load calculation from Eagle Design along with their contact information with the property manager and offered to answer any additional questions. We sincerely hope this will help him resolve his issues.
