What would change it

Where the assistant found the answer on another site and not on this one.

    https://kearneyandsons.com/heating-repair/
  • Kearney's market evidence says it uses a home load calculation when recommending a new system; the Lighthouse pages read describe installation but do not mention a load calculation.
