HVAC contractors aim to make homeowners comfortable in their own houses. To achieve this goal, a growing number of contractors are extending their attention beyond basic HVAC equipment; they’re considering efficiency improvements to the entire residential structure. Once equipped with the right dose of knowledge and the proper tools, contractors are able to offer whole-house “Goldilocks” solutions: Those that fit just right.
“Contractors and home-performance auditors are primarily concerned with the energy efficiency, comfort, and safety of a home,” said Kay Wasieleski, vice president, marketing and customer service, Bacharach Inc. They conduct tests to identify areas for improvement and savings. There are a variety of HVAC tools and equipment that assist in the assessment of these factors.”
