Yes, then double checked when the roofing is on and studded in. Just to be sure they have an exact estimate.

Mine is 1 level, 3200 sq, elevated ceiling and windows everywhere. Have had no real problems with cooling. It runs all the time as we have little shade and like the house cold. I turn it up to 73 during the day and 70-68 at night.

BUT the system does not have a problem maintaining the temps I set. May get 1 or two degrees over 73 on a REALLY hot humid day.


Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
