ACCURATE MECHANICAL SIZING & DESIGN & SYSTEM TEST AND BALANCE IS A CRITICAL STEP TO ELIMINATING COMFORT ISSUES, IAQ ISSUES AND CUSTOMER CALL BACKS!
Chicago, IL faces extreme weather conditions; it can be hot and humid in the summer, and extremely cold and dry in the winter. The buildings we construct must meet both those conditions. The common myth when it comes to installing Heating, Ventilation And Cooling (HVAC) systems is bigger is better. The problem is when we install oversized heating & cooling systems, we damage the buildings and create comfort/IAQ issues:
- AC’s don’t run long enough, creating high humidity in the summer which can create hardwood flooring issues, and even mold
- Furnaces don’t run long enough and create huge temperature swings and cold spots in the home, and low humidity issues from short humidifier run times
- System life is signficantly reduced from increased cycling
