Many homes are missing whole-house fresh air systems that ensure adequate dilution of moisture, dust, pollen, and particulates inside the home. These contaminants can trigger asthma and allergy attacks as well as other health problems. Supply integrated with HVAC fresh air systems draw in adequate outdoor air for effective dilution of contaminants through a duct tied into the HVAC system return duct ahead of the filter. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. Use this checklist to get the significant health benefits possible from a quality installed supply integrated with HVAC fresh air system.

Many homes are missing whole-house fresh air systems that ensure adequate dilution of moisture, dust, pollen, and particulates inside the home. These contaminants can trigger asthma and allergy attacks as well as other health problems. Balanced supply plus exhaust fresh air systems provide an equal amount of supply and exhaust air adequate for effective dilution of contaminants. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. Use this checklist to get the significant health benefits possible from a quality installed balanced supply plus exhaust fresh air system.

Nearly half of all heating and cooling systems in U.S. homes are not installed to manufacturer’s instructions and therefore perform below rated capacity and efficiency. In addition, older heat pumps have low efficiency. High-efficiency heat pumps such as variable-speed systems are much more efficient, last longer, and can remove more moisture. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. Use this checklist to get the significant energy savings, enhanced comfort, and health benefits possible from a quality installed heat pump replacement.
