Best Practices for Installation of Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pumps (ccASHP) - Webinar
This NYSERDA-supported course will be delivered in two 3-hour webinar sessions.
Wednesday, Sept 30th, 10 AM to 1 PM
and
Friday, Oct 2, 2020 – 10 AM to 1 PM
Participants will learn
- the advantages of inverter compressor technology in allowing improved operational efficiency of a heat pump
- how heat pumps work to provide both heating and air conditioning
- why properly sizing a ccASHP is so critical for client satisfaction
- limitations and challenges of inadequate electrical service at the site and options to upgrade existing service/panel to
accommodate the increased electrical load.
Contractors will understand the limitations and requirements for installing indoor and outdoor units:
- For indoor units, choosing the location for proper drainage and air circulation, consistent with manufacturer-specified
minimum and maximum distance from the outdoor unit. - For outdoor units, ensuring proper air circulation and providing adequate clearances for maintenance and potential snow
accumulation.
