Is there a "standard" method for calculating the size of the heating strip required? I have a heat/loss/gain report if that helps. It's a 2 ton unit and currently has a 5Kw strip installed. The HVAC guy uses the following method:

1 ton = 3Kw
2 ton = 5Kw
3 ton = 7Kw
4 ton = 10Kw etc etc

I am beginning to wonder if the inspector will take issue if he feels there's inadequate aux available. There are Pros/Cons with everything. What's the Con if the heat strip that is installed is inadequate? I am located in Middle Georgia if geography is a factor. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not sure what the purpose of this heater strip is.

Is this the emergency or auxiliary heat?

I will copy this over at HVAC and see if those resident experts can help.
