In recent field research, ninety percent of residential air conditioning units had either the incorrect charge or incorrect airflow. Explore key issues (system selection, design, installation, and performance testing), which help ensure the systems work as intended.

By attending this session, participants will

1. Learn the difference between SEER, COP, and actual efficiency
2. Be able to list the steps to properly design and select a system
3. Understand what field-practical tests can be performed to verify that an HVAC system
