2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT EFFICIENCY AND INDOOR
2.1 AIR QUALITY
Central cooling and heating equipment is only as efficient as the duct system that carries the cooled or heated air. To maintain efficiency, comfort and good indoor air quality,
it is important to have the proper balance between the air being supplied to each room
and the air returning to the cooling and heating equipment.
Proper balance and sealing of the duct system improves the efficiency of the heating
and air conditioning system and improves the indoor air quality of the home by reducing
the amount of airborne pollutants that enter homes from spaces where the ductwork and
/ or equipment is located. The manufacturer and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s Energy Star Program recommend that central duct systems be checked by a
qualified contractor for proper balance and sealing.
