3 Reasons Why Homeowners Love Home Performance Contracting
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is more than just your box-shaped equipment. The whole home is the HVAC system with three main components. They can be explained referencing a three-legged stool. What is the Three-Legged Stool of HVAC? Leg 1: HVAC equipment (furnaces, AC units) Leg 2: Ductwork Leg 3: Thermal Envelope Reason #1: Ensure No Problems Arise in the Future “Extreme” Season (e.g. Winter, Summer). Be a proactive homeowner. View the fall and spring as your proactive seasons to ensure your home remains […]
4 Facilities Save HVAC Fan Energy with Duct Sealing

On average, 60% of building utility costs is HVAC. Furthermore, the 40% of the total HVAC cost is just the HVAC fan energy. New to HVAC Fans? READ NOW: HPAC Engineering Report, Fan Selections and Their Energy Impacts Therefore, saving HVAC fan energy is a big deal for buildings, and duct sealing is a proven way for facilities […]
HVAC is a Seasonal Business, What Homeowners Should Do in October
The hot summer months are ending which means the cold winter months coming. That’s how HVAC goes. It’s a seasonal business, and heating and cooling (HVAC) is top of mind for homeowners during these times. Unfortunately, what is less known among homeowners is what to do in the Fall and Spring (a.k.a. “shoulder”) months. These times in between Summer and Winter are great opportunities to prepare for the next extreme temperature season. READ NOW: Think Outside the (Seasonal HVAC) Box Use months […]

Abu Dhabi-Based Arzanah Medical Complex Meets Codes Thanks to Duct Sealing
The multi-billion dollar Arzanah medical complex in Abu Dhabi was nearing completion and stood ready to take its place as yet another shining example of the global leadership emanating from the United Arab Emirates. So it was with deep concern that engineers reviewed traverse readings taken from several of the structure’s HVAC risers that indicated leaks were robbing the facilities of half of the air traveling through the ductwork. Not only was this unacceptable from a building code perspective, […]
