This star Spotlight features Derek Cole from One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning. Today, Derek talks about the three basic factors that affect how we heat and cool our homes and that sometimes the unit you have installed may not be the problem at all. So Derek, what are the problems we face when we try to heat and cool our homes?
It could be one of three things. It could be the unit which was checked out. It could be the air distribution, which is the duct system, or the envelope which is the home. That could be a problem when they do a load analysis on that home. On that system. Duct loss in the attic for heat gain is calculated. Now, that calculation is different than if it was in the crawl space because obviously you have more of a heat load if it's in the attic versus the crawl space. So that should have been factored in sizing the unit, the equipment, the duct system. So that shouldn't be a problem. You can yourself look at the duct system just to randomly look at it, make sure no runs have fallen down. There's no big, you know, gaping holes where an animal or something got something got tore up there or the pest control guy did something. You know, you can look at all that yourself. And then third, the envelope, the home itself, make sure you have insulation in all spots because what we've seen happen too is like in an attic. We'll take an infrared gun and we'll shoot the temperature and it'll be 7575-808080-80102. I need some insulation over here and people if they're having a cooling problem or heating problem, it's just the unit where it could be the duct system, it could be the house, the envelope. It could be all three having problem or it could be just one of those three having a challenge. But one of those three being all is going to cause you not to be comfortable.
