Take a look at our past work!

This was a 3-ton Bosch furnace that Cornett HVAC installed in Severna Park Maryland. Give us a call today, 410-801-7771  to schedule a routine maintanence check on your system before it's too late. With the winter months coming, it's important to get ahead of the issues that could be looming.

When choosing between a 3-ton and a 4-ton Bosch furnace system involves considerations related to the heating and cooling needs of your space. Here are some factors to keep in mind:

1. Size of the Space:

• The primary factor in determining the appropriate size is the square footage of the area you want to heat and cool. Generally, larger spaces require more heating and cooling capacity. However, other factors like insulation, ceiling height, and local climate can also influence this.

1. Insulation and Energy Efficiency:

• Well-insulated homes may require less heating and cooling capacity. Consider the insulation quality of your home, as a well-insulated home can retain heat in the winter and cool air in the summer more effectively, reducing the load on your HVAC system.

1. Climate:

• The local climate is a significant factor. If you live in an area with extreme temperatures, you might need a larger system to handle the demands of both heating in the winter and cooling in the summer.

1. Occupancy and Usage:

• Consider the number of people in the space and the amount of time the space is occupied. More occupants and longer usage may require a larger system.

1. Ductwork:

• Ensure that your ductwork is properly sized for the chosen furnace system. Inefficient or undersized ducts can impact the performance of the HVAC system.

1. Manufacturer Guidelines:

• Check the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines for their furnace systems. They often provide recommendations based on square footage and other factors specific to their products.

1. Energy Efficiency Ratings:

• Compare the energy efficiency ratings (SEER for cooling, AFUE for heating) of the different models you are considering. Higher efficiency units may cost more initially but can save you money on energy bills in the long run.

1. Consult with HVAC Professionals:

• It's advisable to consult with HVAC professionals or contractors. They can perform a load calculation for your specific home, taking into account all relevant factors to determine the appropriate system size.

1. Warranty and Maintenance:

• Consider the warranty and maintenance requirements of each system. Some systems may have longer warranties or require less maintenance, which can impact the overall cost of ownership.

1. Budget:

• While not directly related to the size, consider your budget for the purchase and installation of the HVAC system. A larger system may be more expensive upfront and in terms of ongoing operational costs.

Ultimately, it's crucial to strike a balance between system size, energy efficiency, and cost to ensure optimal comfort and cost-effectiveness for your specific situation.
