Outstanding HVAC Training
posted on November 05, 2009 03:20:52 pm
I just returned from taking the Carbon Monoxide/Combustion course taught by the National Comfort Institute. This particular course was excellently taught by David R. who comments on HVAC issues on this forum. Last week I sent my associate to the NCI course on Air Flow Balancing and Diagnostics. Both courses were Outstanding! The knowledge I gained from this course will help me in home inspections and even more in energy analysis. If you get the opportunity to attend an NCI course - take it! No I do not work for NCI. I just feel that if a company has a good product they should be applauded.

I have a gas fireplace in my sunroom right now, maybe in a year or 2 I was considering switching it to a wood burning stove, will the existing flue work with a wood or pellet burning stove?

Heat pump testing-a/c mode

I know during cold weather with a conventional gas furnace and outside condensing unit, you do not test the a/c unit during temp . below 60 degrees as it will cause the migration of oil out of the compressor. Does a Heat pump work the same way, not advisable to run the A/c mode in colder weather and how do you check the electric back up furnace is temp is not cold enought to cause the Electric back up furnace to kick on. I don't see many heat pumps in my area but need to know. thanks
