Replacement · Rainbow Springs
Manual J showed the old system was oversized. The new variable-speed heat pump brought indoor humidity from 63% to 50%.
Ductwork · Ocala
Resized the branch duct and added a return. Room now within 1°F of the thermostat.
Energy audit · Citrus Springs
Blower-door testing found attic bypasses around recessed lights. Sealing reduced measured leakage from 2,900 to 1,800 CFM50.
Indoor air · Dunnellon
Sealed a leaking return in the garage and added a whole-home dehumidifier. Humidity holds at 48–52%.
Replacement · Ocala
Replaced a single system with zoned heat pumps. Upstairs-downstairs difference dropped from 5°F to under 1°F.
Commercial audit · Crystal River
Found rooftop units running 24/7 on a misprogrammed controller. Rescheduling cut runtime by about a third.
Duct design · Inverness
Designed new trunk and branches to serve a 600 sq ft addition without overloading the existing system.
Replacement · On Top of the World
Replaced a 19-year-old system; static pressure corrected from 0.95 to 0.50 in.wc for quieter airflow.
Indoor air · Williston
Installed a 4-inch media filter cabinet sized to keep static pressure in range.
Duct sealing · Belleview
Mastic sealing of every joint and boot reduced duct leakage to outside by more than half, verified by testing.
