Manual J is the standard load calc method. It uses square footage, insulation, windows, and climate data. Fresh Air runs it at every free estimate. You get a tonnage number tied to your home, not a guess.

Big Homes Need Accurate Sizing
Granite Bay has large homes with high ceilings, big windows, and two stories or more. Rule-of-thumb sizing fails at this scale. Fresh Air has run Manual J load calcs since 2009. Over 900 installs later, we know how to size a four or five-ton unit for a Granite Bay home.
Zone Systems for Large Homes
One thermostat cannot cool a 3,500-square-foot home evenly. Fresh Air designs zone systems that let you set each area on its own. This cuts energy use and stops hot-and-cold disputes.

Why Tonnage Accuracy Matters in Granite Bay
A unit that is too small runs all day and still leaves the second floor warm. A unit that is too large short-cycles and fails to pull humidity out. Both outcomes are bad. Neither is acceptable in a Granite Bay home.
The Manual J calc takes about 30 minutes at the estimate. We measure the home, note insulation and window types, and run the numbers. We then match the result to available units. You pick from options at different price points. We install.
