HVAC Calculator

Calculate BTU requirements and tonnage for HVAC systems based on room size and conditions

Total area to be cooled/heated

Standard ceiling height is 8 feet

How HVAC sizing works:
  • 1 ton of air conditioning = 12,000 BTU/hr
  • Typical residential units range from 1.5 to 5 tons
  • Oversized units cycle too frequently, reducing efficiency
  • Undersized units run constantly and may not adequately cool/heat
