I was recently introduced to a product that I think will be very useful to my customers, especially my customers that want to monitor not only their heat/cooling system but also every appliance in their home from anywhere … ANYWHERE. This product is very easy to use and for what it does fairly inexpensive. EMME is not just a fancy thermostat… you need to check out their web site.

I’m dieing to install this product in someones home or business, for a limited time I will install this product virtually at my cost just to see how it works and get feed back and I am willing to give a 30 day trial. If you do not like the product I will give your money back.
Give me a call if interested.

The heating and cooling industry is constantly adapting to changes, the equipment is getting more and more efficient but the systems have not always kept up to the equipment. Case in point is duct work. It wasn’t until the energy code hit the HVAC market here in 1992 that we started to take the sealing of ductwork seriously and even then it was more on commercial projects rather than residentialy.
Sealed Duct
The new codes coming are getting a lot more serious about duct sealing and proving that it is sealed by pressurizing the system. Im not a big fan of making it mandatory because of the added cost to the consumer, especially in the change out market. But never the less these codes are coming.
Duct sealed
I typically seal the over lapping joints with duct tape then go back and seal all the fitting joints with Hardcast Duct Seal Its very easy to apply but does take some time and can be very messy.
Duct Sealed
I really enjoy running hard pipe versus flexible duct, flexible duct is 6 times more restrictive and rodents can get into them. But flexible duct is labor friendly, is already insulated and you don’t have to worry about sealing all those joints.

This little 14 Seer American Standard 2.0 ton air conditioner couldnt have been easier to do. The weather was perfect, the existing furnace was the same foot print and the crawl space was more like a walk space.
Existing Lennox Furnace
The existing Lennox furnace was exactly the same width as the new coil and we had plenty of headrrom above the furnace, making it so much easier to install. In most cases we remove the furnace and set it aside, we then install the new Air Conditioning coil on to the existing base can, we then re-install the existing furnace on to the new Air Conditioning coil and then make all the changes to the duct work above.
New American Standard Air Conditioner Coil Installed
Here you see the American Standard Air Conditioner coil installed under the existing Lennox furnace. Perfect fit.
New American Standard Air Conditioner
The American Standard Air Conditioner blended right in, at first I was not to sure about the location the customer picked out but said and done it turned out great and it is a very quiet Air conditioner.

OK I have replaced older, but I still enjoy pushing these monsters into the scrap pile. This was a Gaffers & Sattler furnace and according to the home owner installed in 1957 or 58. The serial number does show a 57. That being said it lasted 52 years … wow.
Older Furnace Gaffers & Sattler
Our customer decided on the American Standard 95% 2 Stage Variable my best selling furnace and most favorite to install. We also installed a Honeywell 4″ pleated filter bank in the return system.
New American Standard 95% 2 stage variable furnace
As you can see this was a basement application requiring an upflow furnace. I decided to add some sleepers under the furnace just in case it ever floods and because there was no drain we added a condensate pump to remove condensate from the furnace.
Bad HWT Venting
If you look close in the picture above you can see the HWT vent went down hill into the existing furnace vent, we also fixed this at the same time. Its never a good idea to have a vent go down hill, but in this case I think they had so much rise that it still pulled the burnt gases out.

Back in 1992 I was an Arcoaire dealer for about 3 months, I quickly left and became a York dealer for about the next 10 years. The Arcoaire furnaces where heavy, oddly sized and seemed to have a lot of “out of the box” issues. This particular furnace was starting to rack up some serious repair bills so it was time to be replaced.
Older Arcoaire Furnace
My customer decided on the American Standard 95% Variable 2 Stage furnace, my favorite furnace to install and my top seller. Going from a 80% to a 95% she should see a reduced fuel bill as well as better comfort.
New American Standard 95% Variable Speed 2 Stage
The American Standard is about 2.5″ deeper than the Arcoaire but width is about the same, fortunately the clearance to the front of the furnace was enough to close the door and keep mininum clearance.
New PVC Venting
The older furnace vented with regular venting, it was badly corroded to the point it would have had to be replaced if she decided to go back to a 80% furnace. The new PVC venting is almost the same size so venting the new American Standard furnace was very easy.
Venting up through deck
The PVC vent went directly outside through the exterior wall and up through their deck and then through the roof. A lot cleaner than the older corroded metal gas vent pipe.

This commercial brings back some memories. You know they had a blast making these commercials. My only thought would have been to make it look a little cooler in the home … like seeing your breath on a cold day.
