Do you have a portable heating or cooling requirement but you’re not sure where to start? Use our free heating and cooling calculator to discover the estimated heat or cooling load for your environment.
We’ll take you through the process, with step by step questions to determine the appropriate heating or cooling solution.
To get started, choose one of the calculators below. We can also provide you with a free hire estimate once you have your result.
Not sure what type or size of equipment you need? Find what you need in under 60 seconds. We’ve produced heating and cooling calculators to help you find the perfect hire solution for your building or facility. Use our step by step guide and we will quickly return the type of equipment, the capacity and volume of portable units required.
1. We need to calculate the heat load required for your building or facility. A crucial part of calculating the heat load, is to first understand the area of the space you require heating for.
2. We now need to understand the difference between your current and desired temperature. Enter these values above and the temperature difference will automatically be calculated for you.
3. Adjustments will need to be made to the heat load based on the type of building you need to heat. This is due to the different levels of heat loss for each type of building or structure.
4. We also need to know if the building is old or new. We define ‘new build’ as a property that has been built, converted or refurbished within the last two years.
1. We need to calculate the cooling load required for your building or facility. In order to do this, we need to understand what type of building you are looking to cool. This will allow us to make adjustments to compensate for additional heat and other factors that will affect the cooling load required.
2. A crucial part of calculating the cooling load is understanding the size of the area you need to cool.
3. We now need to understand the current temperature of the space that requires cooling. A guide for this is Warm (around 21°), Very Warm (around 23°), Hot (around 25°) and Very Hot (27°+).
4. We also need to know if the building is old or new. We define ‘new build’ as a property that has been built, converted or refurbished within the last two years.
5. Knowing whether the area you require to cool, has windows that open and close, will help us to better evaluate the cooling load and cooling equipment that you will require.
