Mel Woolf says: „I first used Dittmer because they were the only HVAC contractor that agreed to work on a stand-alone wine cellar cooler. And yes, they fixed it and it's still running trouble free today.
Our home has a Carrier Infinity 5T 4 zone heat pump system, and while it worked "OK" it never was totally right. Most notable wrong was that within a single zone some vents blew like crazy and others blew very little. I suspected the ductwork, installed by another HVAC contractor a number of years ago, was the cause.
Joey came out, and made a couple of observations. 1) Insufficient return air capacity to support a 5T heat pump, 2) most flex ducts were not property connected to the cans. Many were leaking air and allowing condensation to form, 3) flex ducts were crammed together when sufficient attic space existed to allow better air flow, and finally, he was suspicious the zone ducting system wasn't working optimally. I will say that Joey didn't badmouth the previous installer other than to say "That's not the way I would have done it."
I received a proposal to take out everything and start from scratch. To minimize the cost, Joey proposed to reuse the 4 zone dampers and matching controllers; everything else would be brand new. The price was fair, and inflation adjusted, was less than the original HVAC contractor charged just replacing the ductwork (old cans and vents were reused.)
The crew was here 2 full days and did everything that was promised. Not only that, the ductwork install was a "work of art," in my opinion. 2 pictures attached, and I'm sorry that I didn't take any "before" shots.
The icing on the cake came when the system was fired up, my wife and I both noted that "Where's the noise?" The airflow was so eerily quiet that we could not tell whether it was running or not. And the zoning system, which was never 100% before, worked perfectly...“ Show more
