Glossary

SEER
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures how much energy is used to cool the air and provides consumers a standard way to compare different systems. The higher the SEER number, the higher the efficiency. Since 2006, the minimum SEER rating is 13. Our product line meets the minimum and can go as high as 23 with an air-to-air system.

EER
Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) is taken at a specific time under specific conditions. It applies to both air conditioners and heat pumps.

HSPF
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) indicates the efficiency of the heating cycle of a heat pump. The higher the HSPF rating, the more efficient the heat pump.

AFUE
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) is a percentage measure of the efficiency of a furnace. It accounts for cyclic on/off operation and seasonal variations. A furnace rated as 90% converts 90% of its fuel into heat with the remaining 10% released into the flue. The minimum AFUE furnace is 80%, and our most efficient is a 95% two-stage furnace.

Air Conditioning
In HVAC the control of the quality, quantity, and temperature-humidity of the air in an interior space.

Air Exchange Rate
In HVAC the rate at which outside air replaces indoor air in a space. Expressed in one of two ways: the number of changes of outside air per unit of time – air changes per hour (ACH); or the rate at which a volume of outside air enters per unit of time – cubic feet per minute (CFM).

Air Handling Unit (AHU)
In HVAC refers to equipment that includes a blower or fan, heating and/or cooling coils, and related equipment such as controls, condensate drain pans, and air filters. Does not include ductwork, registers or grilles, or boilers and chillers.

Air Infiltration
The unwanted entrance of air due to leakage, temperature difference, or wind.

Ambient Air
The air external to a building or device.

Backdrafting
The reversal of combustion gases in the flue pipe caused when a higher rate of air exhaust exceed the required safe rate of gas appliance drafting. Backdrafting begins when “the pressure differential that allows for release of combustion gases is overcome by low or negative indoor air pressure, caused by a high rate of expulsion of air pushed outdoors, through exhaust fans, fireplaces and dryers.

Blower
In HVAC the device in an air conditioner that distributes the filtered air from the return duct over the coil/heat exchanger. This circulated air is cooled/heated and then sent through the supply duct, past dampers, and through supply diffusers to the living/working space.

British Thermal Unit (BTU)
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit, equal to 252 calories.

Carbon Monoxide (CO)
A colorless, odourless but poisonous combustible gas with the formula CO. Carbon monoxide is produced in the incomplete combustion of carbon and carbon compounds such as fossil fuels (i.e. coal, petroleum) and their products (e.g. liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline), and biomass.

CFM Cubic feet per minute
HVAC term for the amount of air, in cubic feet, that flows through a given space in one minute. 1 CFM equals approximately 2 liters per second (l/s).

Combustion
The process of burning; the oxidation of a material by applying heat, which unites oxygen with a material or fuel.

Combustion Air
Air that provides the necessary oxygen for complete, clean combustion and maximum heating value.

Compressor
A device used to compress air for mechanical or electrical power production, and in air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigerators to pressurize the refrigerant and enabling it to flow through the system.

Condensing Unit
The component of a central air conditioner that is designed to remove heat absorbed by the refrigerant and transfer it outside the conditioned space.

Dampers
HVAC term for controls that vary airflow through an air outlet, inlet, or duct. A damper position may be immovable, manually adjustable or part of an automated control system.

Dehumidifier
A device for reducing the level of humidity in a room or home.

Draft Hood
A device built into or installed above a combustion appliance to assure the escape of combustion byproducts, to prevent backdrafting of the appliance, or to neutralize the effects of the stack action of the chimney or vent on the operation of the appliance.

ERV
Energy Recovery Ventilator

Freon
A registered trademark for a cholorfluorocarbon (CFC) gas that is highly stable and that has been historically used as a refrigerant.

Fuel Efficiency
The ratio of heat produced by a fuel for doing work to the available heat in the fuel.

HEPA
High efficiency particulate arrestance (filters).

HRV
Heat Recovery Ventilator

Humidifier
A device for increasing the humidity in a room or home.

HVAC
HVAC is an acronym for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system.

IAQ
Indoor air quality.

Indoor Air Pollutant
Particles and dust, fibers, mists, bioaerosols, and gases or vapors.

Ionizer
A device that removes airborne particles from breathable air. Negative ions are produced and give up their negative charge to the particles. These new negative particles are then attracted to the positive particles surrounding them. This accumulation process continues until the particles become heavy enough to fall to the ground.

Natural Ventilation
In HVAC the movement of outdoor air into a space through intentionally provided openings, such as windows and doors, or through nonpowered ventilatiors or by infiltration.

Negative Pressure
Condition that exists when less air is supplied to a space than is exhausted from the space, so the air pressure within that space is less than that in surrounding areas. Under this condition, if an opening exists, air will flow from surrounding areas into the negatively pressurized space.

Plenum
HVAC term for an air compartment connected to a duct or ducts.

Positive Pressure
Condition that exists when more air is supplied to a space than is exhausted, so the air pressure within that space is greater than that in surrounding areas. Under this condition, if an opening exists, air will flow from the positively pressurized space into surrounding areas.

Radiant Energy
Energy that transmits away from its source in all directions.

Radiant Heating System
HVAC term for a heating system where heat is supplied (radiated) into a room by means of heated surfaces, such as electric resistance elements, hot water (hydronic) radiators, etc.

Refrigerant
The compound (working fluid) used in air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigerators to transfer heat into or out of an interior space. This fluid boils at a very low temperature enabling it to evaporate and absorb heat.

Refrigeration
The process of the absorption of heat from one location and its transfer to another for rejection or recuperation.

Relative Humidity
A measure of the percent of moisture actually in the air compared with what would be in it if it were fully saturated at that temperature. When the air is fully saturated, its relative humidity is 100 percent.

Return Duct
The central heating or cooling system contains a fan that gets its air supply through these ducts, which ideally should be installed in every room of the house. The air from a room will move towards the lower pressure of the return duct.

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER)
A measure of seasonal or annual efficiency of a central air conditioner or air conditioning heat pump. It takes into account the variations in temperature that can occur within a season and is the average number of Btu of cooling delivered for every watt-hour of electricity used by the heat pump over a cooling season.

Split System Air Conditioner
HVAC term for an air conditioning system that comes in two to five pieces: one piece contains the compressor, condenser, and a fan; the others have an evaporator and a fan. The condenser, installed outside the house, connects to several evaporators, one in each room to be cooled, mounted inside the house. Each evaporator is individually controlled, allowing different rooms or zones to be cooled to varying degrees.

Stack Effect
The overall upward movement of air inside a building that results from heated air rising and escaping through openings in the building super structure, thus causing an indoor pressure level lower than that in the soil gas beneath or surrounding the building foundation.

Static Pressure
Condition that exists when an equal amount of air is supplied to and exhausted from a space. At static pressure, equilibrium has been reached.

Supply Duct
HVAC term for the duct(s) of a forced air heating/cooling system through which heated or cooled air is supplied to rooms by the action of the fan of the central heating or cooling unit.

Tankless Water Heater
A water heater that heats water before it is directly distributed for end use as required; a demand water heater.

Ton (Air Conditioning)
A unit of air cooling capacity; 12,000 Btu per hour.

Vent
A component of a heating or ventilation appliance used to conduct fresh air into, or waste air or combustion gases out of, an appliance or interior space.

Ventilation
The process of moving air (changing) into and out of an interior space either by natural or mechanically induced (forced) means.

Zone
In HVAC an area within the interior space of a building, such as an individual room(s), to be cooled, heated, or ventilated. A zone has its own thermostat to control the flow of conditioned air into the space.

I don't usually write reviews however Tradesman Mechanical Services saved the day this Easter Sunday. Came home from overnight trip to find furnace had stopped working and it was a balmy 5 Celsius in the house. I live 10 km outside Winnipeg and couldn't find any local emergency service and wasn't having luck with Winnipeg until I came across this business. Dispatcher said they serviced the area for a small fee and would have Tech phone shortly. Tech phoned and arrived within 20 mins and had the problem diagnosed and fixed in 30 mins. Michael was knowledgable, professional and efficient. I will do business again. Thank you

Tradesman have now done both our air conditioner and most recently our HWT. Great service on both jobs. I am always a little wary of dealing with most trades. These guys are very trustable. Great job at very fair pricing. Very fast service, very clean very professional and very respectful of our home. Showed up at the door with floor covering sheets in hand as it should be with all contractors. Thumbs up guys. Stefan and KC were out for the HWT replacement. Great couple of guys. Thanks for the great job. Tradesman will definitely be our first call for future mechanical concerns.

I called a different company at the beginning of January. They couldn't fix my furnace on their first visit. By the end of January they still hadn't fixed my furnace (did I mention this was in January?). Finally we had an appointment for them to finish the job, but they emailed me at noon on the day and wanted to reschedule for the following week. I had enough of them, so I found Tradesman's phone number online. Tradesman's technician showed up within an hour, and had the furnace fixed within another hour. Thank you Michael and Tradesman for great service!

Got a new furnace, hot water tank, and AC unit with these guys. Excellent competitive prices, and super professional team. I hate working with contractors, but the crew who came were excellent. They were very careful, thorough, and went well beyond expectations. Good team, I'd recommend to anyone. --- UPDATE After a great experience with the above service a few years back, I didn't hesitate to call them up for a new AC install this last summer at my new home. They were professional and did a great job. This week, when an inspector was in for other work, he found a problem with the permit on the work done. He informed me that I would have to pay a large fine, pull a new permit, and get work done: his estimate was over $500. I called up Tradesman immediately, and within minutes, they apologized, took care of the permit problem (including paying my fine), and booked a visit around my schedule the very next day to fix the issue. I didn't have to push, or ask. And I didn't pay a penny. You can't ask for better than that. Any company can make an honest mistake, but it takes a top-notch one to immediately take responsibility for an issue, fix it, and pay the fine, without costing you a cent. Tradesman has gotten a lot of work from my recommendations in the past. This only reaffirms my confidence in them, and I'll be telling this story to anyone who will listen. Thanks for making this so easy!

Super service! Michael from Tradesman arrived shortly after we called for a furnace checkup on a -23 day that was probably very busy. He was very polite and knowledgeable and got to the root of the problem quickly (blocked pump). We had someone come out 2 weeks earlier and tell us that we needed a completely new furnace (this one is only 12 years old) and did not tell us we were actually still on warranty for the part he claimed was the problem. Michael replaced the actual faulty part, cleaned the furnace and educated us while he worked. He was professional, very thorough and friendly. I went with Tradesman about 15 years ago for a central air installation at another house and was very impressed then too. They will be my first choice for my future heating and cooling needs, and my recommendation for anyone looking for service.

We had them come replace our hot water tank as well as our furnace, and they provided top notch service during the entire experience. Our hot water tank stopped working and we went without hot water for several days (over the long weekend) and they came in as fast as could be expected after the weekend. They were efficient, informative, knowledgeable, pleasant, hardworking, dedicated, experienced, polite - I could go on, but I think you get the point. 5 stars and then some !

I'm pretty darn satisfied with this experience. Talked to Mark over the phone a few times I truly believe customer service is his number one priority. Michael came to fix my furnace. Pry one of the more respectful technicians to come into my house. They even waived the open up fee of $100 to get me what I needed done to keep my wife and son warm. I was very frustrated at the issue so I'm sure I was far from enjoyable to talk to at some points but never did they allow it to change their attitude towards me. They did a great job. Any problems in the future I'll be going here.

Impressed by the over all service, quality and technical skills and know-how of staffs of Tradesman Mechanical. They installed my A/C 3 years ago, it was top of the line product; Clarence was so friendly and patience answering all our questions and walked us through with the process. The technicians who installed it were so professional and great. The service they provide is way beyond expectations. Tracy's commitment and dedication to the company and client is exceptional; she goes out of her way to reach out and follow up on service and experience. She's very pleasing and polite that is why I signed up for their 5-year maintenance package. It was a great price for the quality of service and technical support and skills they provide. I highly recommend Tradesman Mechanical. Thank you for a wonderful experience and a job well done!!!

They came almost immediately after I called and planned out what they needed. Then when the electrician came he was very fast, efficient and the placement of everything was perfect. I recommend calling Tradesman Mechanical for all of your repairs wether it be at home or your business. They are always very courteous and try to accommodate your requests as fast as possible.

If I could rate these folks 10 stars I would! A great company who cares about helping you and not just trying to make a quick buck. Their techs go out of their way to give you information that wasn't even for the reason of the call too! Very thorough and professional! Way to go guys! Comforting to know there are still some of the good guys out there with integrity!

I called Tradesman for a second opinion because I was feeling unsure about some things with my regular furnace company that I have dealt with for years. I am so glad I went with my gut feelings and got a second opinion from Tradesman. From the moment I made the call I had the opportunity to speak to very professional, welcoming and helpful staff that allowed me to explain my situation and arranged for a quick appointment. Mike who came out to look at the furnace followed the same professional friendly service. He inspected the furnace and took the time to explain that my furnace, to my shock was in perfect working order and also explained that I had none of the issues that one would see with a furnace that needed to be replaced. I am very very happy I called for that second opinion. Mike was very knowledgeable, honest and I would highly recommend Mike and the Tradesman Company. Reeta

This great company helped me at 10:30 pm Michigan USA time when my furnace completely failed. I saw a YouTube video they posted which led me to their ALWAYS OPEN service dept. Phone #. Problem solved over the phone and I FIXED my circuit board with a solder gun and got it working in minutes. This saved my family from freezing during a 7 degree F night and hundreds of dollars. They doesn't earn a penny as too far for service, but earned their wings for kindness and quick phone diagnostics. Bless you and thank you so very much!!! Nice smart people like this are hard to find.

Ed Gopez and Ken have provided excellent service. They went over and beyond their job. They have answered all our questions about how stuff run in the house, our concern with heating and cooling system. My husband dealt with Ken when he provided inspection of our furnace and taught my husband how to do some maintenance. He was quick to answer question even my husband phoned after hours. The second time we dealth with Tradesman was when we availed their furnace cleaning service. This time we experience the excellent service of Ed Gopez. He didn't only do his job but also provided short course on the function of everything in the house (we are new homeowners by the way).;) We can't thank you enough guys. We will definitely recommend you to family and friends!:)

Today i had problems, i just would not get hot. i couldn't figure out what i was doing wrong ,so i called tradesman ,he years ago fixed my hot air problem,by giving me a cool blowing, so then i blew cold air. but today my problem was i could not take the cold blowing and wanted me blowing hot air. it just would not get up. so Grant came out to get me blowing properly and replace the part. i am now sequencing properly and blowing like crazy. i can blow hot air now with no problem. Grant fixed me up just fine and got me blowing hot again,thanks to his right parts,, i was very pleased by grant. the service grant gave for me to blow again was impeccable. and the cost Grant charged me for getting me to blow again is priceless. but was very affordable. Grant gave quick and smart service to me. i can blow now like no tommorow. I am a very happy furnace.
