The Temperature Split Misconception

With record humidity levels hitting the East Coast, Jim has an important reminder about why you might see temperature splits as low as 13 degrees during these conditions. When humidity is high, systems shift to performing more latent cooling (dehumidification) than sensible cooling, resulting in lower temperature splits that are completely normal. Following measureQuick's calculated target splits rather than rules of thumb is crucial to avoid improper airflow adjustments that could cause problems once humidity normalizes. Watch below!

Quality Installation Certificates: Protect Your Business & Reputation

This horse ain't dead yet, so we're still kicking it: Over 70% of residential HVAC systems are installed incorrectly, which leads to unhappy customers and creates significant liability for HVAC businesses.

The consequences can be severe:

• Callbacks that erode profit margins
• Warranty claims that manufacturers can deny due to improper installation
• Potential litigation from homeowners facing high utility bills or premature equipment failure
• Reputation damage in an increasingly review-driven marketplace

The Tool Kit That Pays For Itself

To generate ACCA QI Certificates through measureQuick, you need our recommended 9-probe setup with electrical measurement capability. The Professional Job Link Kit for measureQuick with Electrical from TruTech includes everything you need:

• Complete set of temperature probes
• Pressure probes for refrigerant diagnostics
• Electrical measurement capability
• Static pressure probes

This kit typically pays for itself within 2-3 months through reduced callbacks, higher customer satisfaction, and the ability to charge premium rates for verified quality installations.
