Make Trades Great Again Overcoming Jobsite Challenges, Picking The Correct Equipment
Ever been stumped by an HVAC installation in a concrete construction house? We've been there, and we've got some stories to share. Our latest adventure involved a customer plagued with extremely noisy air handlers every time the second stage of heat kicked in. It was a tough nut to crack, but after two years of planning and brainstorming, we found a solution.
In our latest episode, we share our journey through this complex problem, right from the challenges of navigating the customer's property to finding a new location for the equipment. We shed light on the importance of honesty during such tough times and the immense relief when you find the right solution. We also explore the tumultuous process of digging a trench to install a new unit, a task that required some serious mindset adjustment.
As we move forward, we discuss the implications of replacing the existing air handlers with new Mitsubishi variable speed ones, especially for the house's humidity control and high-end filtration. We also express our frustrations about the lack of understanding of correct construction practices, which often lead to long-term problems. By the end of this episode, we hope to impart the importance of understanding the right solution for a project - even if it doesn't seem appealing initially and how pushing past limitations can result in costly consequences in the long run. Tune in for an enlightening discussion with Eric and Andy, who navigated these challenges head-on.
