For issues of comfort, moisture management, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency to be solved effectively it requires an understanding of building science and HVAC. Tim De Stasio is the most conscientious person in the HVAC world that I have worked with and he understands how the different systems of the house affect each other. He can solve complex problems with the right solutions instead of selling things that don’t work or are not necessary. If more professionals in the HVAC world were as good as Tim there would be many happier homeowners in the world. Paul S.

I recently and unexpectedly had to replace our HVAC unit. Tim provided an outstanding experience from product choice thru installation. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly to us, honest. He took the time to explain all our options and ways we could save. We highly recommend Tim and will use him again Sherri M.

I took Tim’s class on Manual D, I’ve been following Tim for awhile and he is full of knowledge and is the IAQ guru. I’ve been in the industry for 20 years but mainly working in light commercial/ commercial service fields. I just recently started my own business and I am doing a lot more residential work like installs and retrofits. Tim’s class really helped me understand the process of duct sizing and designing. Tim is a great teacher and helps put things in terms I can understand. I would highly recommend taking a class with Tim. Jamie C.

HOW WE CAN HELP

"If you're not testing, you're guessing."

Since most home comfort problems are a combination of the HVAC system AND the building envelope under- performing, we have the tools and expertise to test, quantify and pinpoint where heat, moisture and energy are sneaking in and out of a building. This involves a combination of highly calibrated instruments like a blower door, precision manometer, infared camera and proven software. We take the guesswork out of diagnosing comfort problems, high energy bills, moisture issues and poor indoor air quality. By identifying the root cause, we can then prescribe a solution.

"Prescription without diagnosis is malpractice."

Recently, consumers have been accutely aware of the need for healthy indoor air. There are a lot of products out there that claim to purify, ionize or otherwise improve indoor air quality. Many of these solutions are not founded in real science and can even create unintended health hazards by changing the chemistry in the air. Most HVAC companies are happy to sell a solution in a box without understanding any of these factors. We believe monitoring your indoor air quality is the first step. That's why we connect the Haven IAQ central air monitor to your HVAC system, which, through a wifi connection, gives us insight into what IAQ problems your home specifically has. We can then customize a solution based on this testing. By adding Haven's central air controller, we can resolve dust, odors, VOC's or humidity problems that become respiratory irratants by adding a whole house dehumidifier, ERV or media filter.

With over 20 years in commercial and residential HVAC design, we have the knowledge and expertise to assist builders, HVAC professionals and building performance contractors with design services that do not require a licensed professional engineer. Our design services are helpful for new construction, remodelling, third party verification and general consulting. These include:  HVAC Commissioning inspired by ACCA 310 and Ashrae 221 standards  Manual J load calculations  Manual D duct design  Manual S equipment selection Deliverables also include equipment schedules and wiring schematics.

We go the extra mile to ensure our installations reflect our high standards of craftsmanship. Every system we install is properly designed using the industry standard Manual J, D and S. Standard installations include a wifi thermostat, media filter upgrade, surge protector, overflow safety switches, permits and inspections. We don't miss the details like replacing the outdoor pad, and disconnect. We properly evacuate the refrigerant piping and pressure test with Nitrogen. And most importantly, our 50 point start up and commissioning process ensures the system performs precisely to our heat load calculation and other design criteria. Because of these standards, we offer a better standard warranty than anyone else.

We firmly believe if we properly maintain an HVAC system, it will last longer and have a lower total cost of ownership. ur remote HVAC monitoring system connects sensors from your HVAC system to wifi and allows us to monitor, diagnose and performance test your system without having to come to your home. 24/7 remote monitoring identifies problems early so we can resolve them and even reduces the need for on-site maintenance visits which can then be scheduled off peak season. We are so confident in our maintenance that we promise a "no dispatch fee guarantee" for qualifying equipment we maintain.

"You can't solve what you can't measure."

We comprehensively diagnose and performance test every HVAC system we encounter using the latest in diagnostic tools and reports. Our 50 point checklist works hand- in hand with diagnostic software from MeasureQuick and ensures that ALL problems with the system are identified and options are presented for long term solutions, not just temporary band- aids. Sometimes a simple repair is all that is needed. Other times, the problem is deeper. Either way, we will find it and stand by our solution. Our pricing structure allows us to be thorough, without being forced to turn every call into a sales call.

"A rising tide lifts all boats."
