About
Right-size any residential system in seconds. HVAC Load Calc runs a whole-house block load (the Manual J method) from a few envelope inputs — no spreadsheets, no guesswork.
ENTER THE HOUSE
- Floor area, ceiling height, and climate (built-in design temps for major US cities)
- Insulation presets for walls, ceiling, and floor — or your own U-values
- Window area and glazing type, air tightness, and occupants
GET THE LOAD
- Design HEATING load (BTU/h)
- Design COOLING load, split into SENSIBLE and LATENT (BTU/h)
- Recommended equipment TONNAGE, with a sanity check that flags oversizing
BUILT ON REAL PHYSICS
- Textbook ASHRAE heat transfer: envelope conduction, infiltration, solar and internal gains — the same basis as ACCA Manual J block load.
- Transparent assumptions you can adjust, not a black box.
Free to download and try. Pro unlocks unlimited calculations with a 7-day free trial, then renews yearly — cancel anytime in Settings.
Engineering reference only — a whole-house block load, not a substitute for a certified room-by-room Manual J or professional engineering judgment.

What's New in HVAC Load Calc
1.0.1
August 4, 2026
Enter your own U-values. Walls, ceiling and floor now take a custom assembly U-factor alongside the presets — for the build that isn't on the list. Pick "Custom…" in any insulation row and type it in. A value outside the usual range for that assembly is flagged, so an R-value typed into a U-factor field can't quietly turn into a tonnage.
