- Run the ACCalculator BTU calculator for every primary zone and capture the comfort range.
- Note the climate adjustment factor used for your region inside the climate load adjuster.

Questions to ask
- Did you perform or review a Manual J and Manual S calculation for this proposal?
- How will the proposed heat pump maintain capacity at my design temperature, and how does that compare to the output from the BTU and tonnage converter?
