HVAC contractor thoughts: Indoor air quality; iWave R

9/6/2019

 
Indoor air quality in Houston Texas has been on the decline due to new building construction, high volume traffic and coastal winds. Also, viruses and airborne illnesses travel back home and wait patiently to infiltrate your families immune system. Let's break down the need to-knows about the iWave R by Nu-Calgon. 

Description of product
iWave-R treats the air in any brand of residential duct air conditioning systems up to 6 tons (2400 CFM) in size with no maintenance and no replacement parts. Designed for universal mounting, the iWave-R typically requires only 15 minutes to install inside or outside of duct, or to attach magnetically near the indoor fan in the air handler. Simply connect to power using its patent-pending voltage input capability. Install between air filter and cooling coil to treat the indoor coil; as an alternative, the iWave-R can be installed in the supply air. iWave-R always works at peak performance, producing over 160 million ions/cc, more than any other ionizer product on the market. 

Personal Experience with Product
I was approached two years ago when the product was being develop. They asked if we could install it and give them a review. I've continued to sell the iWave in my business, and our customers love them! There's a video on YouTube that shows the iWave cleaning the cigarette smoke from a see-through container. Here's the link if you want to check it out...

I've been an advocate for a competitor's product for a while. The only problem with the competitors product is that the bulb needs to be replaced every 2-3 years, and the bulb cost us around $150 at the time. Unlike UV indoor air quality solution, the iWave does not emit Ozone.
In Conclusion
The iWave R is my favorite indoor air quality solution on the market at this time. The iWave's, no-maintenance(self-cleaning), ease of installation and customer satisfaction gives me great confidence that this is the healthier home solution for you.

​HVAC contractor thoughts: Trane XR16 variable system

9/4/2019

 
​HVAC contractor thoughts: Trane XR16 variable system
 
Warning, this article will have a slight tilt, positioning Priority AC as a beneficiary of the excellent craftsmanship that is the XR16 2019 Trane’s residential variable speed HVAC solution for 2019.
 
“The XR16 home air conditioning system has a SEER rating of up to 17.00, making it an excellent choice for home comfort and for earning energy-efficiency tax credits” -Trane 
 
This system has to be sold to a licensed HVAC contractor with a Trane account, which helps ensure quality of installation. Trane is very committed to being the highest quality manufacturer, hey Carl. 
 
Fun Fact: Trane loves pushing the laws of physics with extreme component torture tests. “Snowball II (residential XR16)” has been in a constant state of overcharge since 2003, sort of like running a car 70 miles an hour around the clock to see how long it will last”. That source was from 2017, I wonder how snowball is doing?
 
Trane proudly flaunts their 71-74 overall sound power level [dB(A)]. I’ve had many customers mention that they “didn’t know an air-conditioner could be so quiet”. This is achieved with their compressor sound insulators and Integrated Fan System blade down design.
 
Expect to this air conditioning upgrade to lower your ac bill by half when compared to 8 SEER rating. “Like miles per gallon in a car, the higher the system SEER rating, the more comfort you will get from each energy dollar.”-Trane XR16 product brochure
 
Pro Tip: The majority of systems installed prior to 2006 are 10 SEER or lower. Potential energy savings may vary depending on your lifestyle, system settings, equipment maintenance, local climate, home construction and installation of HVAC system.
 
Registered limited warranty- If you register your new Trane product within 60 days of installation, the Base Limited Warranty is lengthened and becomes a Registered Limited Warranty at no additional cost. Registration can be completed by phone or online.
*Selling your house? Don’t forget to transfer your warranty. Either you or the new homeowner must notify Trane of the warranty transfer within 90 days of the home sale for the transfer to be effective. The warranty transfer will cost $99 if you transfer at time of home sale.
Picture
In conclusion, Trane’s XR16 equipment is an investment to be proud of. Combining the reliability, efficiency and part availability; Trane brought a great product to market. I hope this aids in your air-conditioning journey. If you found this article helpful, please like and share!

HVAC Contractors thoughts- Lennox 14ACX system

9/3/2019

 
​My Thoughts on Lennox 14 SEER system
 
Being a HVAC contractor and having went to multiple Lennox lunch-and-learns, hopefully I can offer the perspective you need to make an educated buying decision. In this article we will explore inside-information on one of the top manufacturers’ HVAC system in the US. This information is a combination of facts and my experience.
 
Getting my start in the HVAC industry in 2013, I found myself with a company that primarily sold Lennox equipment. I went to a ton of great classes on Lennox Zoning solutions and got to know a few big names there, hey Ken!
 
Lennox 14 SEER equipment is the baseline SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) rating that can be sold here in the southern region of North America. 
 
The simple communication methods of this machine means less expensive repairs if a component on the system should fail.
 
Lennox’s high efficiency outdoor coil- provides exceptional heat transfer and low air resistance for high efficiency operations.
 
“Leaking Lennox”; slang I heard used in my early years in the industry. They had a evaporator coil law suit in 2012. They did have problems with their evaporator coils leaking refrigerant, but they were quick to settle the mess; Lennox is offering a material warranty on certain evaporator coils (make sure your HVAC company checks warranty information for you).
 
Lennox includes a five year warranty on covered components including compressor. This product may be eligible for valuable ten year extended warranty coverage with customer product registration. 
 
“The 14ACX has efficiency ratings of up to 16.00 SEER, giving you a comfortable home all summer long without worrying about the utility bills” Lennox https://www.lennox.com/products/heating-cooling/air-conditioners/14acx
 
Lennox 14acx compressors have been known to be on the noisy side, this is because the compressor only runs in one speed. “Outdoor unit is quite loud. We can hear it operating through the outside wall. When we walk outside by it, sounds like a propeller engine. Quite surprised by the high decibel of noise”-Ed Rosario
 
      Another customer commented: “Nice unit, quiet and cools well. Seemed a fair value as well.”
 
In conclusion, Lennox 14acx systems are a good solution for the home owner who wants a new HVAC system without breaking the bank and with parts readily available when mechanical failure occurs. If you found this article helpful, please like and share!
