Why Most HVAC Systems Fail Due to High Static Pressure and Poor Airflow with Adam Mufich

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast , Host Gary McCreadie sits down with Adam Mufich , an Expert in airflow diagnostics and technical trainer at the National Comfort Institute (NCI). They will discuss deep into the critical role of airflow in HVAC systems, why static pressure doesn't equal airflow, and how technicians can improve system performance with better diagnostics. Adam shares insights on the TrueFlow Grid, a Revolutionary tool for measuring airflow accurately, and explains how it integrates with MeasureQuick and NCI workflows to help technicians troubleshoot and optimize HVAC systems more efficiently. They also discuss common airflow mistakes, the importance of proper system sizing, and the impact of filter selection on performance. Expect to Learn: 1. Why airflow is the backbone of HVAC system performance. 2. How the TrueFlow Grid simplifies airflow measurement. 3. The difference between static pressure and airflow and why it matters. 4. How improper system sizing leads to airflow issues. 5. Why deeper pleated filters outperform one-inch filters.
