The Importance of Proper Duct Design

September 14, 2020

In this episode Candy Cunningham, BDR’s Duct Design Trainer, explains why proper duct design is a critical skill to develop. When dealers do not have formal training in the art of duct design, it can lead to waste, part failures in an HVAC system, and a decrease in customer satisfaction and referrals. Having formal training and an understanding of proper duct design will set you apart from competition, positions your company as the right choice, and generates labor savings.
