if anything, I would ask a commercial HVAC installer for info as to why certain systems are used for some applications...
but you can have that a hundred times asked, why one installer would install or use a system one way, only for another installer criticize as in, 'what the hell were they thinking?'.... many times we see them install, but not THINK! |

Loses several staff every summer at the start of the 'cooling' season. Which is, apparently, dictated by the tomfool idiots Down South, not by our actual conditions. The swamp coolers stink - they never get cleaned. They make the store cold and clammy - and we have under 50F days in JUNE at our altitude. They drip and drizzle. Sigh. I've felt the comfort of mobile homes cooled by the two-stage systems in Arizona, so I know they can be done right. These, however, are a disaster. |

Their corporate position on transgender people is disgusting. But, even if they were pro-American, their staff is C-L-U-E-L-E-S-S. I want people I deal with to know MORE than me, not less than a stale cucumber which got thrown behind the dumpster a year ago at the organic grocery store down the street. Ours will put seedlings out IN THE SNOW because corporate says to - and we get snow at our altitude 12 months out of the year some years. Well, the ones which end in even or odd numbers, mainly. |

duke not saying all, but there are ones that do what they are supposed to, and ones that try to get away with, or OVER on someone if they can.....using the cheapest basic system... there are ones that if they can get away with charging higher amounts, and delivering a substandard system, they will...... if the guy who built my house knew anything when it came to putting in the heating and water tank in, I wouldn't had to redo it with the proper equipment....he just went along with what they told him without gathering his own information first... believe me, if I could get the original installer to come back and install what was supposed to be put in, in the first place, and at his expense, I would have.... plus, the new system is a bit overkill, my choice, but works like a charm....and like its supposed to.... believe it or not, the creature comforts of a business like Home Depot/Lowes, or any business for that matter, is for the customer, not the employees....granted yes, your working and building up a sweat, BUT its the customer walking in from the hot humid outside temp, into a slightly cooled area is to prevent the SHOCK of temp changes from one extreme to the next, especially for seniors, that sort of shock could cause a medical condition for them.... |

Are you talking about an air curtain at the doors or general ventilation? I keep seeing articles and ads pushing the various destratification systems, either fans or... Maybe that's what's being done? |

Also, We have the roof top units, and avg 20 ton per unit. Our store has 12 of them, and they all have the economizer on it. |

I'd heard our heat & a/c is controlled by our home office which explains why there are areas in my store than are dreadfully hot--the sweat pours right off of my while I work, among those complaining about the heat, to places painfully cold--such as the back of the store in the hallway where some of our lockers are...
Seems we might have similar equipment that you say are at Lowe's & Home Depot, and why there is that inconsistency, & the interior climate's unevenness...
(Well, need I say more? I can't think of much else, other than this, at the moment...)

OK, flashback time:
That dropped ceiling, with the huge round vents, and other appendages such as speakers, fire alarms, sprinkler heads, etc. Not to mention those banks of florescent bulbs I drew pictures of, in my youth, replicating certain restaurants, stores and other places as such that I had been to... (Somehow no detention, suspension, or any other form of punishment for doing in school, in lieu of classwork & productive studies--though I was sure the "Kick Me! sign on my back kid", regardless...) Here's what was probably playing from my shopping cart infant seat view & earshot of what that pic up above reminds me of, as does my first Pat Boone LP purchase (had to find out about "Never Going Back" he sings at the end of The Beverly Hillbillies & its origin--hence it's at the end of Side 1, that I play after playing Side 2 first; this song ordinarily kicks off the album, but to me someone goofed, so I suitably after studying the track listing realized it IS meant to come on after the "Flip interlude"... Play Side 2's "Long Distance" kick-off, first!)... -- Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO DaveAMKrayoGuy's LINK |
