Home Location

The location of your home will also affect the size of your heating and air conditioning system. For example, the same size home located in the southern half of the United States would require a larger capacity air conditioning system than a similar home in the northern half of the United States. Of course, a home located in the northern half of the United States will need a larger heating capacity requirement than a home in the south.

The direction your home faces is another consideration in determining system size. For example, a home with more exterior wall areas that face south and west will need greater air conditioning capacity than one with more exterior wall area facing north and east. If your home has a large window area that faces south or west, you'll need greater air conditioning capacity, as well.

There are also regional differences in system installation that can impact the cost of purchasing a system. Check with your local independent Trane Dealer for more details.
