Consumers today are focused on their health and their home environments.

Instead of relying on temperature rise to assume you have the right airflow, you can determine airflow requirements upfront.

The ACHR NEWS interviewed Mark Zarzeczny, NADCA president, about the impacts of COVID-19 on the HVAC industry and duct cleaning services.

Pfizer knew that much of the existing ductwork serving the various buildings would have to be incorporated into the upgrade plans.

Ductwork education is vital to ensuring comfort, allowing for the delivery of the most efficient and cost-effective air quality solutions.

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.

In order to understand the foundational principles of duct sizing, a thorough study of ACCA Manual D is a great place to start.

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.

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.
