Zone control is a popular strategy for addressing different climate zones in a home. Many customers and contractors newer to heat pumps are drawn to multi-split systems that utilize a single outdoor unit to run multiple air handlers, but there can be unintended comfort sacrifices if not done carefully. In this webinar we will focus on various approaches to zone control for efficient and comfortable outcomes. We will compare traditional zoning with zone control, multi-split systems, multiple one-to-one systems, and
From inspecting existing systems to planning and installing future all-electric energy upgrades, this course will cover the many options and strategies for cost-effective home electrification retrofits. First, this course will explain the importance of inspecting and testing a home to determine an electrified plan of action. Every home, and homeowner, may have different needs thus the electrification retrofit priorities vary. Next we’ll highlight affordable electric solutions such as 120 V ductless heat pumps, and heat pump water heaters, including 120
Heat Pumps are a big part of the solution to meeting California’s climate goals in buildings. In plain terms, they’re reversible air conditioners and have been around for over 100 years. This session is designed for HVAC contractors, builders, and others who want to understand how to install heat pumps right. We will cover how heat pumps can add value to your business, how heat pumps work and various configurations, and how to overcome common installation hurdles. Hurdles covered include
