Let a trained & certified crew do HVAC load calcs correctly and on time.

The Two Problems Texas Professionals Face Every Day

โŒ Good Resources = Hard

You've tried the "quick" online calculators. Results are questionable at best. You've looked at the big-name software - $2,000+ per year and it still takes forever to learn.

โœ“ Professional load calculations done by licensed engineers. No software to learn, no expensive subscriptions. Just accurate, code-compliant calculations ready when you need them.

โŒ Failed "Out of Nowhere"

You think you've got it right. Plans submitted. Feeling confident. Then the inspector calls: "Your load calculations don't meet Texas code requirements. Resubmit with corrections."

โœ“ Our calculations meet all Texas code requirements and pass inspection the first time. No more rejections, no more delays. Your customers stay happy, and your projects stay on schedule.

We Answer Live. We Respond Fast. We Get It Right.

When your construction project is on a deadline, you can't wait days for a callback or risk permit rejections. ProCalcs delivers speed, accuracy, and Texas Building Code compliance every single time.

"Why Do You Ask So Many Questions About My Project?"

Because we've performed thousands of successful HVAC load calculations across Texas, and we know that accurate calculations require specific details. When we ask questions, it's because we're looking out for you

We ask about:
  • Actual window SHGC and U-factors (not generic assumptions)
  • Real insulation type and R-values (spray foam vs batt makes a difference)
  • The products you're actually installing (not what "usually" gets installed)
  • Texas-specific construction details (climate zones, extreme heat requirements, regional considerations)

Yes, it takes 5 extra minutes to provide this information.

But it saves you days of permit delays and expensive resubmittal fees.

We don't guess. We ask. We verify. We get your HVAC calculations right.

That's why architects, builders, and HVAC contractors across Texasโ€”from Houston to El Paso, Dallas to San Antonioโ€”choose ProCalcs when accuracy matters and deadlines are tight.

Texas state outline

Texas-Specific HVAC Calculation Expertise

Texas Building Code Compliance

Texas currently follows the 2018 IECC with state amendments for energy standards. Many cities (like Houston, Austin, Dallas) have adopted 2021 or 2024 IECC locally.

All ProCalcs reports comply with local jurisdiction codes, accounting for Texas amendments (blower door 5 ACH50, U-factor/SHGC requirements) and current energy efficiency targets.

Climate Zones for HVAC

Texas spans multiple IECC climate zones:

  • Zone 2A (Hot-Humid): Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi
  • Zone 2B (Hot-Dry): South-central areas like Uvalde
  • Zone 3A (Mixed-Humid): Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco
  • Zone 3B (Mixed-Dry): Midland, El Paso
  • Zone 4B (Cool-Dry): Amarillo, Panhandle

We apply the correct climate zone and design conditions for every job.

Hurricane & Coastal Requirements

If your project is near the coast, we ensure:

  • Windstorm certification (TWIA compliant)
  • Hurricane wind loads, anchoring & elevation for equipment
  • Salt-air resistance considerations

Energy Performance Requirements

We provide HVAC designs that meet:

  • 2018 IECC (state minimum)
  • Local energy code enhancements (Austin 2024 IECC, Dallas 2021 IECC)
  • HERS Index/ERI-based performance compliance paths
  • REScheck, COMcheck, or EnergyGauge documentation
