An HVAC brand is more than just a logo, slogan, and catchphrase—a “brand” is what your customers feel or think when they see or hear those things. In order to make a mental connection with your customers, you’ll need to develop a personal, emotional, and social brand identity. Once you establish what your HVAC brand is all about, you can start standing out against your competition, build long-term relationships with customers, and drive business growth.

YELLOW JACKET® brings system measurement into the digital age with the introduction of the groundbreaking P51 TITAN™ Digital Manifold Series.
The flagship P51-870 features a 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen display and, when paired with our ManTooth™ app, full Bluetooth® capability to connect to a mobile device for remote monitoring.
“The P51-870 revolutionizes the way a typical 4-valve manifold can be used to diagnose an HVAC system,” says Gary Lampasona, YELLOW JACKET Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “With one device you can now diagnose the system and, with the power of Bluetooth technology, you can diagnose remotely, service and charge through the device, monitor pump down/evacuation, and perform leak testing both in a vacuum and at positive pressure.”
The P51-860 provides a monochrome backlit digital display and the same measurement capabilities and Bluetooth connectivity and as the P51-870.
For leak testing, charging, recovery or evacuation, you get everything you need to attach to a system and perform the job with unsurpassed speed, ease and accuracy.

AC SmartSeal External works on all materials — copper, aluminum, steel, plastic — and it’s great where copper meets aluminum. It works on holes up to about a fifth of an inch — and will last 12 to 15 years.
AC SmartSeal External is tested and compatible with all refrigerants and lubricants and won’t dissolve over time. Plus it won’t void warranties since it’s applied from the outside, with nothing going into the system.

Welcome to the first of a two-part series covering the subject of key refrigeration circuit practices. In this post, I will be discussing the importance of properly using nitrogen when brazing refrigerant lines. The process is called “sweeping” and this is not a new process. What has changed over the years is that POE oil has become the predominate refrigerant oil used throughout the world. One characteristic of POE oil is that it’s an excellent detergent and will literally clean the inside of tubing within the refrigerant circuit. This will become problematic when short cuts are taken during installation.
Daikin has recently announced the launch of their updated SkyAir single-zone system products. It consists of new RZR cooling-only models and RZQ heat pump outdoor models (where the 18k, 24k, 30k and 36k heat pumps provide 100% heating capacity at -4°F), new FAQ, FCQ and FTQ indoor units along with the addition of 4-ton systems for FTQ, FCQ and FBQ.
Daikin SkyAir is a 2-wire light commercial and residential family of cooling only and heat pump single-zone systems, consisting of a variety of ducted and non-ducted indoor units, ranging from 1.5-4 tons with lineset lengths up to 230’ while backed with a standard 10-year parts limited warranty.
This new air handler provides a traditional ducted solution with the benefits of an inverter, variable-speed compressor in a side-discharge outdoor unit.
The FTQ is capable of upflow, downflow, horizontal left and horizontal right installation configurations and is designed for ZERO clearance on three sides and only 24” clearance on the front for service. It also has a smaller footprint compared with previous models, with a depth of 21”, width of 17.5-21” and a height of 45-53.4”. The smaller size provides easier attic and mechanical closet installations. It also comes standard with a factory installed disconnect switch and efficiencies of up to 16.0 SEER, 12.5 EER and 10.4HSPF (heat pump only).
