Heating, air conditioning, and ventilation technical articles.
By James R. Leichter The reason I wrote this article was because as I was updating our flat rate pricing system, I realized just how much the business of electrical circuit breakers has changed since I last updated that part of our inventory system. I decided to educate myself on the latest information and I […]

According to a scientist by the name of Sir Isaac Newton, “all matter seeks equilibrium”. Cold air and warm air seek each other out and mix together. This is the same as if you were to combine two glasses of water, each with a different temperature. The water would “mix” together forming a consistent temperature.
All buildings lose heat to the outside or gain heat from the outside. That is the reason why structures need to make up for heat loss and gain. And we do that with heating and cooling systems.

What is an inductive load and how does it related to RMS? An inductive load is a type of load in an electrical circuit that exhibits inductance, meaning it creates a magnetic field when a current flows through it. Examples of inductive loads include motors, transformers, solenoids, and other devices that use electromagnetic fields to

A natural gas furnace is a heating system that operates using natural gas as its primary fuel source. The furnace works by burning natural gas in a combustion chamber, which creates hot air that is then distributed throughout the building using ductwork and vents. The furnace is typically located in a central location in the
