@MikeRob75953577@CSUtilities@Glamke1 Utility rate hikes are more because of code minimum air conditioning and the race to the bottom that is the design-bid-build construction industry. I’ll die on this hill.
@thedooberhead@Matt_E_Baumann You don’t think EU will stand behind Ukraine more now than ever? Ukraine doesn’t need us, as much as our fragile US egos may not want to hear this.
@RobertMSterling HVAC sales engineer here. This is already affecting commercial construction projects by driving up the costs of the equipment being installed.
@DeAngelisCorey A Colorado *Springs* school district voted to end its agreement with the teachers union 🚨
Honestly, one should be unmoved by this news… a school district in the city with the most Trump supporters per capita in the US went this direction? You don’t say!? 🥱
@GrulkeLamonte@Cointainer_Life Hey man. Let me know if you’d like to jump on a call! I’d love to share any information I can. Highly recommend taking a look at this article in the mean time.
No matter what the mfg is telling you, an ERV will not remove moisture from a home.

@GrulkeLamonte@Cointainer_Life ERVs do not remove moisture, in fact they introduce it in the summer. Highly recommend dehum over ERV.
I’m an electrification consultant for multiple MEP firms. This has been a recurring issue for many installs, especially in humid climates. Would love to chat!
@GrulkeLamonte@Cointainer_Life P.S. I’ve sold Mitsu, LG, and Panasonic. They all suffer the same fate. If you look at their submittal and performance data, it’s right there, the sensible heat ratios are terrible.
@GrulkeLamonte@Cointainer_Life Be VERY mindful of dehumidification. These systems do not remove moisture well. Even if they have a “dry” mode, their control sequences typically lead to over cooling as they chase a RH%. Highly recommend a whole home dehumidifier.
@GrulkeLamonte With you in the South, have you considered geo pool heating? The efficiency synergy you get in the summer when air conditioning the home at the same time is nice. Alongside an uncapped 30% tax credit can make this quite appealing.
@Lord0fValinor@GrulkeLamonte That’s my experience. Yes, that Carrier Infinity system has reheat, but there are thermodynamic limits at play here… 🤷🏼♂️
@Hotshot_Movie@GrulkeLamonte 2) Electric heaters- due to years of building homes to code minimum (barely legal) standards and a misdirected focus on heating the air in spaces rather than keeping the objects at or near body temp.
