I cannot make recommendations on sizing your heating and air conditioning equipment.

I can recommend for 2 stage heating and 1 stage cooling to use the Model NCM-300 or for 2 Stage heating and 2 stage cooling to use the Model BMPlus3000.

I hope this helps!

i read that if you use ncm 300 using 2 stage furnace if the you use less than 50% zones the board will not let the second stage to turn on.
Now i just have 2 zones so 1 will equal 50% will the second stage will turn on?

The NCM-300 will always consider all 3 zones, whether they are being utilized or not, when calculating for the 50% Feature. Therefore, for your application, if only one zone is calling the equipment will not be allowed to stage up, when utilizing the 50% feature.

A by-pass is always recommended.

You have to look at the equipment documentation to determine the BTU output of 1st stage vs. 2nd stage.

Happy New Year!
