  Mechanical Contractors and Energy-Efficient HVAC

  What Mechanical Contractors Need to Know about Energy Efficiency and HVAC Building owners rely on your expertise. But it takes trust to make this possible. And to create it, you want to ensure they’re receiving the HVAC solution that makes the most sense for their facility and budget. You already know that top-line price isn’t the most important factor in determining the cost of equipment. And it’s impossible to have conversations about lifecycle cost without talking about energy efficiency. Your customers are going to be invested in reducing their monthly energy bill. Reducing that translates to more business. Heating: Direct-fired High Temperature Heating and Ventilation (HTHV) tech, unit heaters and heat pumps You want to heat big spaces and your customer doesn’t want to pay big bills. How do you do it? For large commercial spaces, direct-fired technology offers a clear pathway to energy efficiency. Without heat loss via a flue, direct-fired heaters achieve 92% thermal efficiency, meaning that 92% of all therms provided to the unit are provided to the building as heat. Indirect-fired heaters make more sense for smaller, enclosed spaces (like your home), due to the lower risk ...

  The 4 Green Flags to Look for from your HVAC Manufacturer

  You need to finish contracts on schedule and within budget. So it’s painful to put up with malfunctioning equipment causing post-install callbacks. Those eat at your bottom line. Same with awful lead times or a lack of installation guidance or, worst of all, shipments with critical errors on arrival.  Avoiding these problems shouldn’t entail significant asks from your manufacturer. They should be expectations.  Mechanical contractors are in communication with HVAC manufacturers all the time. But the ones who look for key pieces of information when ordering their equipment avoid the pitfalls that derail their competition.   So let’s dive in. Here are green flags mechanical contractors should identify in manufacturers — green flags that make for easier, hassle-free projects.  #1 They test their equipment beyond standard benchmarks  Every manufacturer will tell you they test their equipment. You’re looking for a manufacturer that can describe exactly how far they go on end-of-line testing.  But technical support doesn’t mean much if the person on the other end of the call isn’t a real expert. It’s a green flag when the manufacturer you’re talking to has technicians with long ...
