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!

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

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.

If possible, send the photo(s) to our email address and will share with our participants. Think it would be an interesting exercise to challenge eager and learning HVAC participants with more real-life photos.

For the record, this is important stuff. After all, a properly designed and installed plenum box is essential for your HVAC system’s overall health and efficiency. Here’s a few reasons why:
