| Percentage of demand load requirement produced by heat pump at design temperature (-30C/-22F maximum) | 87% |
| External backup boiler required | 18kW |
| Internal backup boiler required if using Alt Source tank | 18kW |
| Heating Design Temperature | -25° F |
| Total Square Footage (sq. ft.) | 2880 sq ftsq.ft. |
| Insulation | Medium |
| Arctic heat pump required | 2 x 050ZA/BE |
| Comments | I have a barndominion that has a concrete floor with pipes installed already. The complete barn has been heavily spray foamed. It is two story with a full size loft. We have a heat pump for our 4000 sq ft home that we had installed 15 years ago and love it and we also have a very large outside pool that we heat with a heat pump and it does a great job. Our barn is 2880 square feet and the loft is the same size, the floor of the loft is not insulated so the heat can rise up to the second level. I would like the proper size of heat/cooling pump for this building and amperage required to run it. |

*NOTE* - The heating demand load we have estimated for this project is likely to be inaccurate. There are many variables that factor into a building’s heating demand, and although square footage and insulation value are major factors, many other building variables contribute. We compared the results of this tool against hundreds of custom manual J reports and found that this tool predicted the demand load within +/- 10% of actual calculated load in 25% of the manual J results we compared to. This tool has limited accuracy when predicting the demand load of a single project but is very accurate at predicting average demand loads on a macro scale.
To get a more accurate estimation of the final demand load range for your unique project, we suggest you run this tool at all three insulation value options (High, Medium, Low). 90% of the manual J reports we compared to have a demand load that fits within the three predictions generated by running this report at all three insulation values.
Arctic takes no responsibility for any performance issues resulting from using this estimation to size a heat pump. We recommend that every customer has a manual J conducted before purchasing heating and cooling equipment. A manual J is the most accurate way to predict a building’s demand load.
