Undersized heat pump?

Posted On: August 28, 2023

Undersized heat pump?

Our previous house was a 1968 split level 1600 total sq feet with basement and we had a 13 seer carrier ac 2 to worked well.


We also had new triple pane windows and white exterior.


Our new house is a bungalow old windows and brown exterior so may absorb more heat.


1360 sq feet main floor and 2400 around total with basement.


Just installed a 2 ton 18 seer carrier heat pump 38muraq also rated 24kbtu.


Yesterday it didn't seem to be keeping up but wasn't home a lot of paying to much attention.


Yesterday was around 25-26 Celsius and today is going to get to 27 Celsius.


Around 11 am it was 21.


5 In the house and we were cleaning so feeling hot so I turned it to 21 it was also only 23c outside.


By 1pm it hadn't stopped running and it was now 22 and 25c outside.


I went to do some running around and now it's still 22 set to 21 and 26 c outside.


Only the second day using it but seems to be struggling.


We are planning to get new windows by next summer but wondering if it should have been sized up?


Any thoughts?

My old furnace had finally broken down for the last time when contacted twintech to have a new furnace installed…They were prompt, knowledgeable and very reasonably priced. They did such a great job i tell all my friends and family about this company.

by Damien McIsaac. Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

To whom it may concern, I recently had TwinTech (Greg and Grant Dainty) replace my furnace and service both my gas fireplaces and air conditioning unit. They were professional, courteous and very fair in their pricing. I would gladly recommend TwinTech to anyone needing work done. I can be contacted at 905-626-XXXX.

by Blair N. - Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My Fiancé and I have relied on Twintech Heating and Cooling now for the better part of the last 10 years. In that time, Greg has installed a furnace, an air conditioner, and a heat-pump at our residence in Toronto. In each instance Greg and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were courteous and professional throughout the whole process and the quality of their work is first rate. Our experiences have always been extremely positive and we have referred his services numerous times to our friends and family. Without hesitation, I would recommend Greg and TwinTech Heating and Cooling to anyone looking to service or replace their existing heat/AC equipment

We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!

by Anna Chin on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Amazing experience with TwinTech Heating & Cooling! Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. They installed my new furnace quickly and left everything spotless. The technicians took the time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable with the system before they left. Great customer service and fair pricing. I highly recommend them for anyone needing HVAC services!

by Connor Agnew on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Great experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.
