What is a Manual S Equipment Services?
Manual S, developed by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), is the industry-standard methodology for selecting residential and light commercial HVAC equipment. It ensures the equipment is sized and rated appropriately to meet the heating and cooling loads determined by Manual J calculations.

- Cooling Capacity: Selecting systems that can handle peak summer temperatures.
- Heating Capacity: Ensuring comfort even in the coldest months.
- Efficiency Ratings: Evaluating Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) and Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF).
- System Compatibility: Matching the HVAC unit with the duct design from Manual D.
