Symposium - Do Inverters Suck?

Join us for this eye-opening session from the 7th Annual HVAC/R Training Symposium featuring industry experts Roman Baugh, Jon Esquivel, and Adam Mufich as they expose the truth about inverter-driven HVAC systems.

What You'll Learn:

• Common Inverter Problems - Why these systems fail and how to prevent callbacks
• Design Mistakes - Oversized inverters acting as expensive single-stage units
• Dehumidification Challenges - Understanding sensible heat factors and humidity control modes
• Building Science Integration - How envelope leakage and infiltration affect inverter performance
• Installation Best Practices - Proper setup, commissioning, and field settings configuration
• Troubleshooting Techniques - Using the diagnostic triangle and understanding EEV operation
• Refrigerant Charging - Advanced methods for verifying proper charge in inverter systems
• Climate-Specific Applications - When inverters thrive vs. when they struggle

Key Topics Covered:

• Why education is the biggest challenge with inverter technology
• The difference between "smart" and "dumb" inverters
• Dehumidification modes: overcooling vs. coil saturation control
• How duct leakage creates a "double whammy" effect
• Rotary vs. scroll compressor technology in inverters
• Mini-split performance data and missing specifications
• Variable capacity adjustments and compressor overclocking
• ERV integration and ventilation strategies
• The importance of building envelope testing
