We just had our first annual A/C tune up under a HVAC maintenance agreement we purchased. Our house is just seven (7) years old yet we received estimates of $760 for repairs, $1,595 for an air scrubber, and $517.50 for surge protectors related to the following findings:

FINDINGS: Homeowner declines entry to indoor portion of home:

-no ss2 safety switch, in the event the main drain clogs, water will drain out the secondary which is exposed to the stand on which the equipment sits on. Highly recommend adding safety switch to the hvac system.

Invoice #25278 Page 1 of 43ZONE system, homeowner starts 1st thermostat at the Left side home, small bedrooms and we record 1.27” w.c on supply

side alone.

-HIGH STATIC PRESSURE.

Recording .1.49” w.c across both sides today with 1 zone open and .71l w.c across both sides. Fau blower motor can operate at a maximum of .50” w.c (resistance of airflow). Beyond this measurement we lose actual volume of airflow the unit was designed for and is trying to deliver. Will run under a stressed state, delivering less airflow. High inefficiency sign.

Zone system should be removed running the entire home from 1 thermostat, this will successfully open up all the ductwork, bringing efficiency and comfort. However, home is lacking airflow even with all 3 zones open, ductwork should be inspected for repairs or adding home run comfort ducts to the cold spots in the home. Technician also recommends not using high restrictive filters and switch to Merv 8 or lower. To combat smoke seasons, pollens, dust, allergens, and even many viruses both airborne and surface levels, we recommend installing an air scrubber in the ductwork.

Designed for NASA, available for residential:

-Maintain good indoor air quality by preventing the circulation of dust, allergens, mold, bacteria, and other contaminants.

This is particularly important for individuals with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions. Products can be added to

a system to assist with these issues such UV light, Air Purifiers, and better filtration.

Energy Efficiency: When air ducts are clogged with debris, the HVAC system must work harder to distribute air throughout

your home. This reduced efficiency leads to higher energy consumption and increased utility bills.

*Health and Safety: Dirty air ducts can harbor mold and bacteria, which can negatively impact your health. In extreme cases,

contaminated ducts can contribute to Sick Building Syndrome, causing symptoms like headaches, coughing, and fatigue.

*Preventing Contaminant Spread: When air ducts are dirty, the HVAC system can spread contaminants throughout your

home, which can exacerbate health issues and degrade indoor air quality.

Fire Safety: In rare cases, dust and debris built up in air ducts can pose a fire hazard. Regular cleaning can reduce this risk.

HVAC System Longevity: A clean HVAC system is less likely to suffer from wear and tear, so regular duct cleaning can extend the life of your equipment and prevent costly repairs or replacements. This will greatly reduce air pollution, contaminants, pet dander, odors, and dust. Also things like mold, staph, Covid and MRSA as discussed above.

---Having surge protectors for computers, TVs, and other appliances at home and in the office is crucial. Power surges can lead to data loss, rendering your devices useless. Power surges can originate from external factors like thunderstorms,

lightning strikes, blown transformers, and damaged power lines. They can also arise internally from faulty breakers or appliances in your home.

An HVAC surge protector works by diverting any excess electricity away from your HVAC system and acts as a pass-through for excess electricity from the power source to your HVAC system. When a power surge occurs, the protector works to prevent your unit from getting too much electricity and will absorb the surge or spike instead of it reaching the HVAC equipment. Homeowner declines repairs at this time.

Ductwork Liability Disclaimer: Please note that the existing ductwork is undersized for modern HVAC equipment due to zone system. While it is possible to proceed with using the current duct system, performance and efficiency may be impacted. Nevada heating is not liable for any breakdowns that may occur. A response fee may be charged if static pressure is a result of the breakdown, as a repair route was given and declined.
