This in-depth, two-hour session is designed for inspectors who want to move beyond simply identifying deficiencies and truly understand why those deficiencies matter. Mike will cover the inspection of modern air conditioning and heat pump systems from top to bottom, including component identification, airflow, heat movement, temperature splits, indoor and outdoor coils, disconnects, thermostats, zone controls, ductwork, and more.
