Test and Improve Poorly Performing HVAC Systems

Do you want to provide your customers the very best comfort and energy efficiency, as well as a safe and healthy indoor environment?

It's a known fact that typical air distribution systems across North America lose, on average, 43% of an HVAC system's capacity.

Your customers don't have to live with these substandard systems. Now you can provide real solutions!

Learn how to deliver high quality, profitable duct system renovations that really work! Set yourself apart from competitors by knowing how to optimize a duct system so it delivers the heating and cooling the equipment was designed to provide. The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the existing duct system design, equipment sizing, followed by verification of real-time performance - not simulations.

You will then learn how to uncover air distribution upgrade opportunities to deliver the highest quality, comfort, and performance your customers want and are willing to pay for.
