Cold Craft Inc. is a heating, air conditioning, and indoor air quality company serving the Bay Area since 1991. They provide maintenance and inspections to keep HVAC systems functioning properly. Using specialized tools like cameras on flexible shafts, they can locate problems that are not visible to the naked eye, such as clogged evaporator coils or blower fan motors. Inefficient ductwork is very common and can result in huge energy and cost waste through air leakage. Cold Craft performs energy audits and promotes high efficiency equipment to help reduce costs and pollution.
Cold Craft Presentation Efficiency Problems
- 1. Cold Craft Inc. Commercial, Residential Heating, Air Conditioning, Indoor Air Quality, Wine Cellars, Biotech, Refrigeration Serving the bay area since 1991 San Jose, Campbell, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Los Gatos, Fremont, Atherton, San Mateo, Morgan Hill, Gilroy
- 2. Basic central air heating and cooling system. To function properly, your furnace and air conditioning system consistent scheduled inspections and maintenance.
- 3. The problems in this presentation cannot normally be seen unless someone disassembles your equipment. Cold Craft, Inc. locates these problem with a camera on a flexible shaft. Here is just one of the tools our techs use.
- 4. Clogged Evaporator Coil (This is the part of the split air conditioning unit that is located either above or below the furnace in a forced air system)
- 5. Here are other examples we typically encounter.
- 6. Clogged Blower Fan Motors Can Cost the Customer a Lot of Money
- 7. Pressure Loss From Leaking or Disconnected Ducting. This is Very Common and Expensive Problem in Terms of Energy Loss and Wear on Equipment.
- 8. A 1994 study by Larry Palmiter and Paul Francisco of Ecotope, Inc. provides important new details on the efficiencies of residential forced air duct systems. The average Heat Delivery Efficiency was measured at 56.2%. This means that nearly 44 % of the energy input to the system was lost due to air leakage before being delivered through the supply ductwork.
- 9. A symptom of leaking ducts is black discoloration around or near duct connections. We can determine how much airflow you are losing with a pressurization test.
- 10. By taping off all the registers and pressurizing the system we can determine loss rates.
- 11. Sometimes Our Job is as Simple as Pointing Out the Disconnected Ducting Like in this Attic. If needed, we can also show you where your ducts are leaking with theatrical smoke.
- 12. Your Safety Easy to miss without the right equipment or knowledge, heat exchanger cracks commonly occur in furnaces that are 10 years or older. These cracks introduce carbon monoxide into the home and get larger over time.
- 13. 50% Efficient Ductwork is Not Unusual Inefficient ductwork represents a huge waste in energy and money. Higher home heating/cooling efficiency also means our local power plants are burning less fossil fuels.
- 14. An average heating/cooling system is VERY inefficient. This is such an important issue that starting in January, PG&E will pay Cold Craft to perform energy audits for PG&E customers. California electricity costs continue to climb year after year.
- 15. Cold Craft strongly believes in and promotes high efficiency equipment. Switching to high efficiency equipment is the most effective action you can take to reduce pollution. Due to rising costs of energy, ROI is getting shorter and shorter. Older home 55% Efficient Furnace New 90+% Efficient Furnace Newer 80% Efficient Furnace Typical Typical Typical Annual Costs Annual Costs Annual Costs $ 2,050.00 $1,450.00 $1,300.00 Savings Savings $600.00 $750.00
- 16. Cold Craft has served the bay area since 1991. We are a Diamond Certified Dealer and have NATE certified technicians. Over 90% of our business comes from word of mouth referrals. Give us a chance to earn your referral.
