The weird thing about compressor problems is that — well, it’s usually not the compressor.
It’s probably something else. Can the technician on the job today figure out what that something else is? That could determine whether it’s a successful call and a happy customer or a visit that appears successful until the new compressor fails (after several additional costs and a lot of frustration).
As common as the duct leakage problem is, it’s also very easy to go in with less-than-adequate knowledge for solving the problem in customers’ homes due to all the possible variables in play.
This air handler is energy efficient, easy to install, and flexible in its application. What sets the SVZ apart from other models is its one-to-one configuration and smaller footprint.
These fans are suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial ventilation applications. The quiet and efficient backward–curved motorized impeller is capable of developing significant pressure, and the in-line configuration simplifies installation, saving time and money.
Several months ago, I wrote a Duct Dynasty article titled “Four Steps to Optimize a Duct System.” Since then, I’ve received numerous requests to expand on the simple calculations I mentioned that can help you estimate room airflow with a customer’s input.
Poor ventilation leads to water damage, mold, and other issues in the home that cause respiratory problems, allergies, and other illnesses for the occupants.
If the fact that the latest U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Energy Star programs now require a whole-system approach to HVAC installation and maintenance is any indication…
Comfort Institute released finding from a new study that indicates leaks in ductwork located in conditioned space can have a significant impact on energy savings. The study, conducted by Comfort Institute in combination with the Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance (GCEA), showed that the amount of conditioned air seeping through the building envelope and escaping to the outside of the home was reduced by an average of 11.4 percent after the ducts were effectively sealed.
