Packing tape has been removed and damper will be able to function properly once fan is installed
Quality installation and commissioning are critical to optimizing heat pump performance.
Right - The exhaust duct has been mechanically fastened and sealed with mastic.
Right - The exhaust vent duct terminates to the outdoors with a vent cover that has been properly caulked and covered with a metal pest screen.
Right - The home’s ground source heat pump preheats water for the air source heat pump water heater.
Right - This evaporative cooler is wall mounted to reduce leak effects and allow for ease of maintenance.
Right - This manufacturer's label shows a CFM higher than the requirement, increasing the likelihood that it will meet the performance level once installed.
Right – A utility room provides adequate space for the home’s mechanical systems and electronic smart home monitoring equipment.
Right: Maintenance valves are installed at the inlet and outlet of this central heat pump water heater
Separate exhaust fans can share a common exhaust if each exhaust fan is equipped with a back-draft damper to prevent cross contamination
Seperate dwellings with their own seperate exhaust terminations
The back-draft damper on this exhaust fan is closed to prevent cross contamination
The back-draft damper on this exhaust fan is open when the exhaust fan is operating
The back-draft damper open when the fan is actively exhausting and closes when the fan is off
The ENERGY STAR logo on the manufacturer’s label indicates this is an ENERGY STAR qualifying exhaust fan
The manufacturer’s label found on this exhaust fan housing shows a sone rating of 1.0
The natural draft and induced draft furnace are both Category I appliances that receive combustion air from the combustion appliance zone
The raised hood at the base of the vent stack on this water heater shows that it is an atmospheric vented gas water heater
This central heat pump water heating system with a hot water circulation loop that returns to the primary storage tank relies on a single pass heat pump to provide both primary DHW heating and hot water circulation temperature maintenance
This central heat pump water heating system with a hot water circulation loop that returns to the primary storage tank relies on a multi pass heat pump to provide both primary DHW heating and hot water circulation temperature maintenance
This fuel tank sits at grade but is anchored through its concrete base to the ground beneath with helical earth anchors
This fully packaged/skid-mounted central heat pump water heating system was shipped to the building on a truck and craned into location
This fully specified central heat pump water heating system has four individual outdoor heat pump units plumbed in parallel to indoor storage tanks
This HRV, installed in a conditioned attic, provides balanced ventilation to the whole home
This mechanical room contains both the storage tanks (right) and heat pumps (left) of a central heat pump water heating system
This packaged central heat pump water heating system has the heat pumps on the exterior of the blue enclosure, and the storage tanks, temperature maintenance equipment, mixing valve, and control modules on the inside
This retrofit central heat pump water heater system utilizes the existing water heater as a swing tank to provide temperature maintenance for the hot water circulation loop
This underground fuel tank is anchored to a concrete base to resist buoyancy forces
Types of heat pump water heaters commonly used in central heat pump water heating systems include single pass units, multi pass units, and integrated units
Wrong - the CFM rating may not meet the performance specification once installed, and the sone rating is too high.
Wrong - Two exhaust terminations are joined in a roughly cut, restrictive hole that is not air sealed.
Wrong: HPWH inlet and outlet are piped to mixing valve inlet and DCW make up, driving erratic HPWH and mixing valve behavior
Wrong: The exhaust air from one heat pump water heater is blowing into the intake of the heat pump water heater next to it
