Neglecting Airflow

One of the most common errors we’ve seen across the industry is relying too much on the box for optimizing the furnace and not the ducting. There are numerous tools and approaches that can help to maximize efficiency while reducing the strain put on heating and cooling systems, but in many cases, experts will not look to upgrade the ductwork to account for optimal air flow. It’s important to ensure that your customer’s HVAC system is not too strong for the square footage of their building, but beyond this, many people focus on the machine’s output and not how efficient the airflow really is. Be sure to investigate the duct size to ensure that your client’s home is benefitting from an adequate supply of air. Doing so will result in better short-term results and improved device longevity, both of which can help to retain your level of quality.

Not Focusing on Home Efficiency

Comprehensive customer care is becoming more and more prevalent in today’s competitive marketplace, where HVAC companies that care often gain the edge over industry rivals. One way to ensure that you’re receiving the best reviews for your hard work is to offer advice when inspecting your customer’s home. From the furnace in the basement to the attic fan upstairs, you will be in close proximity to many components in the home that homeowners rarely check. Even if you are not an expert in insulation or framing, it can prove very useful to offer advice on areas in the home that can stand from improvements. Your customers will appreciate the heads up, and their impression of your dedication to quality may help in terms of return service calls. Be sure to be on the lookout for any areas in the home that may need improvement that your customers are not aware of!

Remembering Proper Ventilation

Comprising the second letter of HVAC, ventilation is an important part of the process that is often neglected to some degree. Today’s high standards and energy codes have all combined to create a home that is nearly as efficient as possible, keeping your energy costs low while keeping the home protected. However, with today’s air-sealed homes comes the problem of ensuring that proper ventilation measures are taken. Failure to do so can lead to serious moisture concerns later on, putting your customers at risk for health problems while also damaging the home’s interior.

Mold growth can be a very expensive problem to rectify, and one that may be minimized when you are working on the home’s ventilation system. Remember that there are three options available when working on mechanical ventilation:

• Positive pressure
• Negative pressure
• Balanced pressure
