Add-on Central Cooling Systems: Ducted

Add-on cooling refers to the addition of central cooling equipment onto an existing heating system and ductwork. We have described below exactly the steps we take to install this type of cooling system for your facility.

Determining Capacity
We do specific calculations in order to determine how much heat your facility absorbs each hour during the summer months. The major factors which determine the amount of heat gain are the size of your facility, the number and compass orientation of windows, and the amount of exposed roof area.

The quantity of heat gain is measured in BTUs - every 12,000 BTUs equals one ton of cooling. Heat gain is calculated in total number of BTUs per hour. When we select the central cooling equipment for your facility, the heat gain (cooling figure) will determine the capacity of the equipment we install. It is important that we install neither too much nor too little cooling. If the equipment is undersized for cooling, the facility will not be cold enough on hot days. If the equipment is oversized for cooling, the indoor air will not be properly dehumidified, and will feel cold and clammy.
