If the ductwork is restrictive, the returns are undersized, or the thermostat settings are incorrect, the system may hunt, short-cycle, or run longer than expected without improving comfort. Tuning is also important because variable-speed equipment can mask problems. A unit may keep rooms…

When segments of the population feel disconnected from the process, the legitimacy of the outcome can be called into question. It is a problem that touches on education, media access, and…

The question is whether it fits your own financial goals and habits and whether or not it meets your personal…
