March 15 2012 Code Enforcement Update
March 15 2012 Code
Enforcement Update
At Energy Load Calc
we have been closely monitoring the state’s progress in the daunting task of
enforcing new energy and building codes.
The EnergyGauge calculations for residential new construction appear to
be closely monitored across the state and are being enforced to the full
description of the code. The same cannot
be said for the sizing calculations required for residential replacement. It has not been uniform and
it may not be for some time. While most
municipalities seem to accept a single page summary sheet that includes the
Manual S (bottom right corner for Wrightsoft), we have seen some counties take
a different approach:
Marion County: Reported
that they no longer accept the Rheem Design star and in addition to the summary
sheet need the manual S compliance report which details the manufacturer’s
actual performance data.
Broward County: Reported that they no longer accept Rheem
Design star
Lee County: Reported required manual S compliance report
with actual manufacturer’s performance ratings
Sumter: Contradicting reports of required room by room calculations, Rheem design star, required drawings. We believe to be caused by two different permitting
offices
We have seen all municipalities require the manual D
including the drawings when replacing the duct work on an existing install.
If anyone has reports that contradict these or has
additional information they would like to submit, please let us know via
comment

One good marketing method for HVAC contractors
As I am researching various cities for air conditioning
contractors across the United States, I am seeing over and over a strong opportunity
that is rarely fully taken advantage of and often is missed completely. The interesting thing is many of these
contractors have completed the difficult “part 1” of this marketing
campaign. I am talking about customer
surveys or reviews. The most appropriate
place to then post these reviews is on Google.
It is not difficult to see that when doing Google searches, Google
places/maps pages are ranked at the top.
They also have clickable links to your reviews. The larger the city, the more Google places
pages will be displayed. Organic search
engine results can be completely drowned out of the first page. This is important because many people still
do not understand completely how Google works.
I come across many that aren’t aware they are clicking on a “pay per
click” add on the top banner. With as
much as hurry as people are in today combined with how well Google searches,
people don’t usually get to page 2. If a
consumer sees “many” reviews in comparison to the competition and they are
mostly positive, their search may very well end there.
Reviews can be obtained a number of ways; you will need to
determine what works best for your company.
A couple of methods that could
be easily installed are below:
1. Ask the customer to fill out a review as the installation
is completed and check lists are signed.
Obtain signed permission to post review on-line
2. Send a follow up email with a link and instructions on
how to write a Google review
In either case, something should be offered to the
homeowner. This could be a discount on
future maintenance agreement, discount on work performed, $5 Visa gift cards,
etc.
