Client concerns and goals that we
had to meet
The client just purchased the home and had to deal with the following HVAC problems:
- Asbestos ducts – Client needed all hazardous materials removed & replaced
- Rodent damage & infestation – The new mechanical system had to be safe
- Extreme temperature differences between the floors – The new system needed to be able to control the temperatures between the floors effectively.
Project Challenges
- The equipment platform in the attic was deteriorating and the service platform did not meet local building code requirements.
- The existing condensate lines were not routed correctly
- The attic light did not have a switch at the access and overall lighting was poor
- Even though this was not an original installation virtually all existing components had to be replaced due to the poor workmanship of the installation
- The refrigerant lines were incorrectly sized for the new a/c unit
- Complete duct re-design was required for the zoning application
Project Result
- Energy efficient (19 SEER) new variable capacity system with greatly reduced operation sound.
- 2 Zone – Zoning system was installed
- Greatly improved temperature/humidity control and overall performance.
- Beautifully re-engineered equipment platform to improve durability and safe service access to equipment.
- Airflow issues were resolved by re-designing the air duct system and adding several new air supply ducts.
- A new air return duct system was installed.
- A Hospital-grade Lennox Pure Air air purification system was added to help improve IAQ as well as eliminate the need for equipment & duct cleaning.
