We’ll also tackle the debate over PVC vs. ABS exhaust flues for high-efficiency condensing appliances, and learn about the importance of condensate neutralizers.
We'll discuss common HVAC problems, including issues with condensate in both 80% and high-efficiency systems and combustion air calculations. You’ll also gain insight into furnace categories, efficiencies, and venting.
Other topics include understanding Delta T measurements, common client questions about SEER ratings, 90% vs. 80% efficiency, and the comparison between heat pumps and gas furnaces.
