Ducts in commercial building

Precision installation is key to performance.

Imagine you drove a brand new car off the lot, but you didn’t realize you were missing half the engine. According the Department of Energy, typical ductwork loses from 25% to 40% of a heat pump’s or air conditioner’s cooling energy. A 13 SEER system can easily drop to an actual efficiency of 6 SEER, with the owner none the wiser.

That’s why the wise choose EMI.

Proper installation requires meticulous craftsmanship that few companies can offer. At EMI we use only metal ductwork which we craft by hand in our own sheet metal shop and install using mastic sealer only—never duct tape, which will degrade over time.

A higher degree of professionalism.

Crew foremen—carefully chosen, each with a minimum of five years experience with EMI—work from computerized layouts and materials lists compiled during the design process. That means error-proof installation with no need for on-site “improvisation.” Vacuums pulled to 500 microns protect motor windings from moisture, and units are charged using both temperature and pressure for absolute accuracy. Finally, insulation is loosely wrapped for a greater R value.

Proper installation isn’t easy, but it insures your system does the job we designed it to do: keep you in total comfort.
