Air Distribution: Building a Better Box

Air Distribution: Building a Better Box

We begin with the basics… how to measure, how to cut, how to fold, and how to clean the existing air handler, all the to way air flow specifications. For many HVAC companies, having this skill is a must-have!

Though our first box building exercise concentrated on unused air handlers, this coming week we will continue by building boxes atop systems in use. Yesterday we continued the distribution box process and hoping by end of day the flex will be hung… check us out (comment and share) as the days progress.

Pizza and Plenum

Pizza and Plenum

Thankful for Wacky Wednesday, today is not just a plenum day here at HVACTA. With a hands-one approach to learning (and enjoying pizza), we combine multiple learning styles to pave the path toward personal and professional success.

We are not just an HVAC six-week workshop, our methods are guided by building lasting relationships, personal growth, and practical knowledge while mixing hands-on, theory, and safety grounding each step in the path.

HVACTA – Plenum Prep and Construction

,

At our HVAC workshop facility, all work with duct board (building boxes), flex, mastic, tape, hangers, registers, and much more.

In case you are wondering: An HVAC plenum box is a critical, enclosed chamber connecting directly to your heating and cooling equipment to manage air distribution. Acting as the central “traffic director” or hub for your duct network, it stabilizes air pressure, reduces operational noise, and ensures conditioned air flows smoothly throughout your home.

HACTA: Braze Masters in the Making

HACTA: Braze Masters in the Making

We waste no time to get into HVAC action. That’s the great thing about HVAC Technical Academy, we learn by doing. In addition to brazing, tomorrow we will be handling out tools and get down and dirty by taking apart systems… yep, that adventure will soon become a reality.

For those not familiar, HVAC brazing is a high-heat metal-joining process for creating strong, leak-proof refrigerant lines, using filler metal (like silver alloys) melted by a torch, requiring specific equipment (torch, rods, nitrogen) and strict safety protocols (PPE, fire prevention) to join copper pipes for high-pressure systems.
