Does your air conditioning ductwork look like this?
Heating and Air Conditioning Systems (HVACs) are not all made alike. Nor are all HVAC Systems made for all the different weather patterns that we see around a country like the good ole USA. Can you imagine how difficult it is for the same basic HVAC unit to heat or cool air in such different climates as Florida and Minnesota? And how about the differences between Utah and South Carolina?
What is the point here?
The differences in air temperature, humidity and pressure are so varied in fact that each geographic location can require different types of equipment to properly and safely condition the air.
“How’s that?”, you ask.
There are some critical variables which determine how well and efficiently an HVAC will do its job. We just mentioned three of those – temperature, humidity and pressure. You can imagine that, if the temperature is very high, the humidity is very high and the pressure is very low, the environment inside an air handler is going to be very conducive for things to go wrong.
And go very wrong they will. Here’s an example: Continue reading
