Clip Summary
Bob meets with Mark Gallivan from Sears HVAC, and Brent Morin from Morin Mechanical Services, to review the heating system installation in the modular home.The high-efficiency, state-of-the-art Hydro-Air system uses components of traditional boilers, humidifiers, variable-speed fans, electronic air cleaners, and three exterior condensing units.
The boiler produces hot water for both a forced air unit and a baseboard radiant heating system. The forced air unit allows for a consistent level of humidity in the house, something radiant-only units traditionally cannot accomplish.
There are seven zones employed in the home's heating and cooling system. The cast aluminum heat exchanger in this unit transfers heat three times faster than a traditional heat exchanger. The boiler uses a direct venting system that takes air directly from outside and vents it through a flue located in the center of the intake vent.
