Class Overview

Skyrocketing natural gas and heating oil costs, climate change concerns, and the advent of cold climate heat pumps are driving a nationwide switch to heat pumps to heat and cool homes. Unlike the typical dinosaur burning gas furnace that can deliver an instantaneous blast of hot air, heat pumps work by extracting heat from the outdoor air and pumping it into your home. Air at zero degrees still has plenty of heat to heat your home. However, performance and customer comfort are more determined by proper design, installation, and a well-insulated and sealed building enclosure.

in this webinar building science expert Steve Easley will use his real-world jobsite examples to teach industry professionals the top 10 do’s and don’ts to reduce costly callbacks and ensure customer comfort and satisfaction.
