Heating & Cooling Calculators.

Sizing the load, not the shelf label — 2 tools, all free.

Cooling load in BTU per hour and electric heat in watts, both from the same room facts: floor area, ceiling height, insulation, sun and climate. Sizing close to the real load matters more than buying big — an oversized air conditioner short-cycles and leaves a room cold and clammy.

AC Size

BTUs and tonnage for the space

Answer in BTU/hr

Electric Heat

Watts, baseboard feet, breaker

Answer in watts
