to be removed. A heat gain calculation also 

calculates the extra heat load caused by sunlight 

and by humidity removal. These factors must 

be considered before selecting a heat pump 

system to provide year-round comfort. The Air 

Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) 

J Manual method of load calculation is one 

recognized procedure for determining the heating 

and cooling load.
After the proper equipment combination has 

been selected, satisfying both sensible and 

latent requirements, the system must be properly 

installed. Only then can the system provide the 

comfort it was designed to provide.
There are several factors that installers must 

consider.

•  

Outdoor unit location 

•  

Indoor unit blower speed and airflow

•  

Proper equipment evacuation 

•  

Supply and return air duct design and sizing

•  

Refrigerant charge 

•  

System air balancing

•  

Diffuser and return air grille location and sizing

IMPORTANT:

 Excessive use of 

elbows in the refrigerant line set can produce 

excessive pressure drop. Follow industry 

best practices for installation. Installation 

and commissioning of this equipment is to 

be performed by trained and qualified HVAC 

professionals. For technical assistance, contact 

your Distributor Service Coordinator.

2.5 Importance of 

Proper Indoor/Outdoor 

Match-Ups

To assure many years of reliable operation and 

optimum customer comfort and to assure the 

outdoor unit warranty remains valid, an air-handler 

model or indoor coil/furnace combination should 

be selected that is properly matched to the 

outdoor unit.   This is especially critical for heat 

pump systems to assure proper refrigerant charge 

balance between the cooling and heating modes.  

The recommended approach is to select an air-

handler or indoor coil and gas furnace that has an 

AHRI match with the outdoor unit.  Refer to the 

AHRI directory at www.ahridirectory.org to confirm 

the air-handler and outdoor unit are a certified 

combination in the AHRI Directory. 

2.6 Checking Product 

Received

Upon receiving unit, inspect it for any shipping 

damage. Claims for damage, either apparent or 

concealed, should be filed immediately with the 

shipping company. Check model number, electrical 

characteristics, and accessories to determine if they 

are correct. Check system components (indoor coil, 

outdoor unit, air handler/furnace, etc.) to make sure 

they are properly matched.
