When I needed a new roof, it took me over a year
to find a rep who knew roofing. One rep told me
the job would be a roof over and would need 24
squares. I knew the roof already had two layer
and would be a tear-off - plus the roof was only
24 squares. Needless to say I am leery of home
improvement reps.

But now every one with whom I have spoken about
a new AC unit has a Master License (I checked).
But not one of them has done a load calculation.
And the lowest bid for a 2.5 ton, Seer-15 is
$5,400.

Where can I find the math for a load calculation?

I don't show my load calculations on estimates.. You buy the job
you get to see about $300 worth of load calculations. This isn't a
hobby. A good computerized Load calc costs upwards to a $thousand and up
to $5 thousand with all of the duct, material, etc addons. Plus it takes
a few hours to input and get it right. Inspection department has to OK
it along with the work plan. I don't do the paper hob for my
competitors. When they worked for me I taught them right and let them do
their own work. If you want to pay for the load calc..That is business..
Free.. no way!

        Which is amazingly easy to get. I know, I have 5 of them.
And I saw guys WIVES taking the tests , after hubby got his ticket
pulled for violations. And no, the wives were not techs nor
engineers, they were just wives. Bookeepers, maybe, for hubby.
