🔧 TECH TUESDAY: Air Flow Remediation

When an existing or altered system can’t initially pass air flow verification, remediation may be an option, but only after the required steps have been completed.

Our latest Technical Bulletin covers:

✔️ When air flow remediation is applicable
✔️ The remedial actions that must be exhausted first
✔️ Why those actions are the installer’s responsibility, not the Rater’s
✔️ When remediation cannot be used

Air flow remediation applies only to existing or altered systems where air flow verification is required as part of refrigerant charge verification. It cannot be used to certify air flow on a new duct system.
