What your system should be sized for

A heat pump in New Hampshire should carry the house on the coldest design day, not the average one. These are the winter design temperatures our engine sizes against, in AHRI heating region V (6,500 heating degree days at the Manchester reference metro). Method: ASHRAE 99.6% heating design dry-bulb. Every row is a station value with its source and the date it was checked. Cities without a station value are not listed.
