Description

In this episode of Did You Know?, Clifton welcomes Russ King of Kwik Model 3D to break down one of HVAC’s most critical and misunderstood practices—load calculations. Together, they tackle why proper system sizing is non-negotiable, especially with today’s high-performance heat pumps and evolving building standards.

From real-world pitfalls in residential construction to the game-changing potential of digital tools and 3D modeling, Russ shares insights from decades in the field, plus why training, visualization, and design-based diagnostics are the keys to the industry's future.

If you’ve ever skipped a load calc or sized a system based on a hunch—this episode is your wake-up call.

🔧 Topics covered include:

  • The importance of load calcs in inverter heat pump performance
  • Why guesswork leads to comfort callbacks
  • Overcoming legacy practices in production housing
  • How QuickModel makes HVAC design faster, easier, and smarter
