Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

This guideline responds to the need for an efficient means of identifying, diagnosing, and repairing faults in air conditioning systems in existing homes that are undergoing energy upgrades. Inadequate airflow due to constricted ducts or undersized filters, improper refrigerant charge, and other system defects can be corrected at a fraction of the cost of equipment replacement and can yieldsignificant savings. The guideline presents a two-step approach to diagnostics and repair.
