As the weather shifts here in Memphis, bringing us those beautiful (and sometimes humid!) days, it's the perfect time to think about your indoor air quality. Just like we switch out our wardrobes, our HVAC systems need a seasonal refresh too! One of the most crucial, yet often overlooked, aspects of HVAC maintenance is regular filter replacement. With pollen counts rising and the humidity kicking in, your filters are working overtime to keep your indoor air clean and healthy. At Etairos HVAC, we believe in providing our clients with the best, which is why we trust Camfil filters. Their filters are designed to tackle a wide range of airborne contaminants, from pollen and dust to mold spores and even some finer particulates, ensuring your home or business breathes easier. Why Camfil stands out: Superior Filtration Efficiency: Camfil filters are engineered to capture a higher percentage of airborne particles compared to standard filters. Extended Filter Life: Their robust construction and high-quality media mean less frequent replacements, saving you time and money. Improved Indoor Air Quality: Breathe easier knowing you're protected from allergens, pollutants, and other harmful particles. Energy Efficiency: A clean filter allows your HVAC system to run more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and lowering your utility bills. The Etairos Difference: We provide comprehensive HVAC maintenance tailored to the unique needs of Memphis residents. Our team ensures your system is running optimally, keeping you comfortable year-round. Don't let seasonal changes compromise your indoor air quality. Let Etairos HVAC keep your air clean and your system efficient. Contact us today for a maintenance check and experience the Etairos difference!

The American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act authorized the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to phase down production and use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), requiring HVAC manufacturers to transition to the next level of low-GWP refrigerants for all new residential and commercial ducted HVAC systems manufactured as of January 1, 2025. This shift to low-GWP refrigerants means choosing a replacement for aging light-commercial rooftop units isn't necessarily as simple as it may have been in the past. But finding the best rooftop unit for your application that uses low-GWP refrigerant can result in benefits beyond sustainability. The newest TempMaster? commercial rooftop units utilize R-454B refrigerant, which has the lowest GWP with the best outlook for long-term viability. That means it's less likely another refrigerant transition will be necessary with a future regulatory change. Plus, R-454B temperatures and pressures are much like R-410A, resulting in similar system designs and a reduced learning curve for equipment service transitions. The result? A more sustainable, more efficient replacement that likely won't be affected by future regulation, and doesn't require specialist HVAC servicing. Learn more about the R-454B refrigerant transition and see why replacing your system with a TempMaster? solution helps you today, and in the future: https://on.jci.com/3tywqJF

We're excited to announce the successful completion of our recent A2L refrigerant training classes in Memphis and Jackson hosted by Justin Baskin! As the HVAC industry shifts towards more environmentally friendly solutions, A2L refrigerants are taking center stage. These refrigerants offer a lower global warming potential while maintaining performance. Our comprehensive training program equips HVAC professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to safely and effectively handle, install, and service systems utilizing A2L refrigerants. Why is A2L Certification Important? Safety First: A2Ls are mildly flammable, requiring specialized handling and installation procedures.

Meet Marlon Young, a shining star on our team! February's featured #EmployeeSpotlight! #SustainableOutcomes #FireBreathersOnly #HVAC

The three fan laws are critical mathematical formulas that help HVAC technicians and designers understand how airflow, static pressure, and horsepower change under various conditions in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. These laws describe how changes in fan speed or static pressure can affect airflow and the energy required to maintain it. Understanding these laws allows for more precise sizing and selection of equipment and ductwork and enables technicians to troubleshoot and optimize HVAC systems effectively. Fan Law 1: Relationship Between CFM and RPM Law: CFM is directly proportional to the fan's RPM. Formula: CFM2 = CFM1 × (RPM2 ÷ RPM1) Practical Meaning: Increasing or decreasing the fan's RPM will proportionally increase or decrease the airflow (CFM). A 10% change in RPM results in a 10% change in CFM. Field Application: To adjust airflow, technicians can change the fan's speed. For example, decreasing a fan's RPM from 1100 to 990 will decrease airflow from 1000 CFM to 900 CFM. Fan Law 2: Static Pressure and CFM Relationship Law: Total Static Pressure changes with the square of CFM (or RPM). Formula: SP2 = SP1 × (CFM2 ÷ CFM1)2 Practical Meaning: A slight increase in airflow (CFM) leads to a disproportionately larger increase in static pressure. A 10% increase in CFM results in a 21% increase in static pressure. Field Application: When increasing airflow, it's crucial to consider the impact on static pressure across system components. For instance, increasing airflow from 1000 CFM to 1200 CFM can significantly increase the pressure drop across a filter, affecting its efficiency. Fan Law 3: Horsepower and CFM Relationship Law: Horsepower required by the fan changes with the cube of CFM (or RPM). Formula: HP2 = HP1 × (CFM2 ÷ CFM1)3 Practical Meaning: A slight increase in airflow requires a disproportionately larger increase in horsepower. A 10% increase in CFM results in a 33% increase in horsepower. Field Application: Before increasing airflow, it's essential to ensure the motor can handle the increased load. An increase from 1000 CFM to 1200 CFM significantly increases the horsepower required, potentially overloading the motor. Key Takeaways: These laws highlight the nonlinear relationships between airflow, static pressure, and horsepower in HVAC systems. Adjustments to fan speed (RPM) directly affect airflow and indirectly influence system static pressure and horsepower requirements. HVAC technicians must consider these relationships when modifying system performance to avoid unintended consequences, such as overloading motors or creating excessive static pressure.
