NEW NCI Member Benefits!

If you are considering joining the High-Performance HVAC “movement” by becoming a member of National Comfort Institute (NCI), you should take a look at all the benefits that gets you.

But wait, there is more.

NCI recently announced a new partnering with measureQuick (mQ) and The Energy Conservatory (TEC) on a new app ecosystem to support the tried-and-true NCI High-Performance Contracting™ principles and technologies that we’ve taught for decades.

If you’re familiar with NCI’s AirMaxx app, then you’ll be pleased to know that new quick tests in measureQuick and workflows in the TEC TrueFlow app mirror that functionality. But there is now also Bluetooth instrument support and direct fan airflow measurement technologies by using the TrueFlow Grid.

As excited as we are about the new apps from TEC and mQ, our partnerships with them go even deeper. NCI invested heavily in new member benefits with both of these partners.

With measureQuick, NCI Members will enjoy FIVE free measure Quick full projects per month, and Learning Excellence Online and Premium members will receive 10 free projects per month.

This allows you to produce professional quality reports, save your data, take screenshots, and integrate with a CRM, among other essential functions for running a business based on High-Performance HVAC™ principles.

With The Energy Conservatory, members get a discount found through TEC’s store. NCI members need to visit the TEC page in your Member Rewards section here to get the member discount code. The TEC Digital TrueFlow is not only the most accurate and simplest way to measure fan airflow, it’s an exceptional tool for selling High Performance HVAC. This special discount makes the investment in performance measurement even sweeter.

If you’re curious or have questions about how these new technologies can help your company, we encourage you to call us at 800/633-7058 or attend one of our Airflow Testing & Diagnostics courses and then the Implementing Airflow Testing & Diagnostics class that goes along with it.

You can call that same phone number to find out more about joining the NCI membership.

David Richardson Speaks on the HVAC Grapevine Podcast

On August 18th, NCI’s David Richardson was a guest speaker on the HVAC Grapevine podcast, co-hosted by Mike Cianfrocco of HVAC contracting company, Michael Cianfrocco LLC and Chris Hughes of The Energy Conservatory. Also on the show was Ty Branaman, HVACR educator and content creator of love2hvac.com fame.

In this episode, Richardson explains what the air upgrade is, how it works, and why HVAC contractors should rethink their approach to airflow as part of a comfort system design.

HVAC Grapevine, in their own words, is “A fun environment where you can listen and learn from industry leading experts about their experience in HVAC.”

In this episode Richardson talks about what customers care about — which he says is what contractors should care about even more.

“Most customers don’t care about sheet metal, ducts, and insulation. What they care about is what those things do. That is what Air Upgrades are all about.

“Air Upgrades take a pre-determined scope of work that puts it into a single package that improves airflow and static pressure at the equipment. As a result, Air Upgrades improve comfort problems and even efficiency problems at the same time.”
