Evergreen ECM Motor Tip

Evergreen ECM motors are a high-efficiency replacement for standard PSC motors. On average they will save about 25% under normal operation and up to 74% on systems that continuously run between heating and cooling cycles. Running your Evergreen motor between heating and cooling cycles allows you to filter and circulate the air continuously; and since it is so efficient, it runs continuously for pennies a day.

Calibrating Refrigerant Gauges

As we’re approaching the beginning of Spring, refrigerant gauges will start seeing a lot of use again. As a result, it is crucial that the HVAC contractor perform weekly calibrations to ensure correct measurements are being taken. Simply adjusting the gauge to zero will not calibrate the gauge. Digital gauges need to be checked for accuracy as well.

Flame Sensor Service Tip

One of the most important things to remember is that when you're working on a furnace, you can’t service the equipment effectively & efficiently without having a way to read flame sense. The time is far past when all you needed to service a furnace was an AC/DC volt meter. A meter that reads DC microamps will let you know what the flame sense is. You should have a reading of between 2 and 4 microamps, but it can be as high as 7. Corrective action should be taken with a reading below 2 microamps.

Honeywell Wi-Fi Thermostat

Okay all you geeks, if you're anything like us computer nerds here at ComfortGurus, you're gonna love this new thermostat from Honeywell. We get all giddy when stuff like this comes out, mostly because we like the idea of being able to control things in our home from anywhere in the world where we get internet access. Now, just apply that technology to your home's heating and air conditioning system and we're pretty sure most of you are going to be sold on the new Honeywell TH8320WF1029. Let's look a bit deeper into this product...

Fieldpiece Pressure Switch Tester

"Pressure switches are often out of calibration before they completely fail, and it is for a wide variety of reasons, all of which can cause the furnace to operate in an unsafe manner. The DDSM1 Draft Simulator from Fieldpiece creates a controlled vacuum to test pressure switches, so technicians can tell exactly when a pressure switch closes and opens.  This either proves that the switch is within specification, or identifies if the switch is starting to fail."
