Yes, It’s Called a Heat Pump — and That’s the Right Name
Let’s get one thing straight:Just because we now have a bunch of different types of heat pumps doesn’t mean we need to rename the entire category.We’ve got:Traditional single-stage air-source heat pumpsInverter-driven variable capacity heat pumpsGround source (geothermal) heat pumpsWater-source heat pumpsAir-to-water heat pumpsMini-splits, multi-splits, VRF systemsAnd yes, the occasional online special held together by hope and duct tape
Learn MoreWhy Your Air Conditioner Can’t Handle the Humidity Anymore: The Case for Decoupled Latent Capacity
1. The Moisture Myth“My AC removes humidity—why would I need anything else?”It’s a common belief—and technically true, in ideal conditions. But in the real world of modern construction? Not so much.Today’s high-efficiency systems spend most of their life in part-load mode, where they run low and slow to meet small temperature changes. That means short runtimes, mild coil temps, and minimal moisture removal.

Learn MoreHeat Pump Selection Isn’t About Tons — It’s About Trust
Part 2 of the “Permanent Load Reduction Specialists Are Really Agents of Change” SeriesBy Jeremy Begley, Founding Shareholder – HVAC 2 Home Performance®Most contractors are still sizing systems like it’s 2005. They lean on AHRI numbers, old rules of thumb, or whatever their supplier has on the truck. Then they’re shocked when the install underperforms—short cycles, high humidity, or emergency heat kicking in on mild days.Manual S 2024 changed that. It made one thing crystal clear:
Learn MorePermanent Load Reduction Specialists (AKA HVAC Home Performance Sales) Are Really Agents of Change
Let’s be real: most homeowners don’t call for help with their HVAC system because they’re dreaming about their energy bills.They call because something feels off.“The upstairs never cools.”“My baby’s room is always drafty.”“The air just feels damp and muggy.”“We’re running the heat, but my feet are freezing.”And most techs or salespeople respond the way they were trained: Look at the equipment. Suggest a replacement. Maybe upsell a smart thermostat.
Learn MoreThe Hidden Utility Tax: Why Rent Pricing Should Include HVAC Performance 2
The Utility Cost Nobody Sees — But Everybody PaysIn most multifamily apartments, tenants pay their own electric bill. On paper, this keeps rents stable. But buried inside those utility bills is a huge hidden cost that almost no one talks about — the true operating efficiency of the HVAC system.Two renters can live in identical units, with the same square footage, same floorplan, and even the same rent — but have completely different real-world housing costs, simply because one has an old HVAC system and the other has a newer one.

Learn MoreManual J vs. the New Wave: Why Classic Load Calcs Still Reign Supreme
Thermentor and runtime analytics have promise, but Manual J remains the only fully defensible method for HVAC design—especially in high-performance homes.The Heat Pump Boom and the Sizing Dilemma The electrification wave is here, and heat pumps are riding the front. As more homes ditch fossil fuels for efficient, all-electric systems, accurate HVAC sizing has never been more critical. Oversize it, and you risk poor dehumidification, short cycling, and higher bills. Undersize it, and comfort goes out the window.
