| Comments | Looking at buying a property that was built in the mid-seventies in rural Manitoba (cold winters / hot summers). Main floor is approx. 2000 sq ft plus full basement and large double car garage. Garage currently has floor heat on a small electric boiler. The house is not serviced by a natural gas line, so everything is electric. Each room in the house has a 1500 watt electric heater for back-up and a 1970's electric furnace. The house has a 200 amp service. The yard also has a 60' x 60' shop with a high ceiling on it with floor heat currently heated by a propane fueled boiler. Looking for efficient options on this building as well. No cooling required in the shop. |

*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.
