Terms of use and disclaimer

Last updated November 2026. By using CalcMyHVAC, you agree to these terms.

Estimates, not professional advice

Our calculators provide rule-of-thumb estimates for general information. They don't account for every feature of your home, such as window types, duct condition, air leakage or local design temperatures. Results are not engineering, design or installation advice, and they are not a substitute for a load calculation (such as ACCA Manual J) carried out by a qualified, licensed HVAC professional.

Always confirm equipment sizing with a licensed contractor before buying or installing heating or cooling equipment, and follow local building codes and manufacturer instructions.

Safety

HVAC equipment involves high voltage, refrigerants and, for furnaces, combustion gases. Don't attempt electrical, refrigerant or gas work unless you are qualified to do so. If you smell gas or suspect carbon monoxide, leave the building and call your gas utility or 911.

No warranty

We work hard to keep the calculators and guides accurate and current, but the site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Standards, prices and products change, and we can't guarantee that every figure is complete or up to date.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, CalcMyHVAC is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its results, including equipment purchases, installation decisions or energy costs.

Advertising and links

The site may display advertising and may link to third-party websites. We don't control and aren't responsible for their content, products or services. A link or ad is not an endorsement.

Content

The text, calculators and design of this site belong to CalcMyHVAC. You're welcome to link to any page and to share your results. Please don't copy our guides or calculators onto another site without permission.
