Highlights of the Meeting
HVAC
New problem: asbestos in the
drywall compound. To correct this problem before in wall HVAC can be installed,
test needs to be conducted ($25). If there is asbestos (high likelihood there
is), the area will have to be contained and repaired. This will cost about
$200-$300 per standing unit and take a day’s time.
Many people buying HVAC
units from Quality Air expressed discontent with the color of the grills on
their in wall units (brushed aluminum). At first QA said they could do nothing
to change the product but further discussion yielded effort on part of QA to
look into correcting the issue.
It was suggested that some HVACs
could have thermostats and valves replaced to extend the life of the existing
HVAC. Owners need to contact company of their choice to evaluate their HVAC.
Quality Air is one possible company for the work.
Question brought up about
the quality of air filter used in the HVAC. QA said they use the highest
quality (Merv 8)
