Under Pressure: The Life Of Air In The Home

When a customer calls about a smoking fireplace, the assumption is often that the fireplace or chimney is the problem. But in reality, the issue frequently has little to do with the fireplace at all. The true culprit is usually air movement within the home.

The house is a system with interconnected features, appliances, and components influencing one another. Some push air, some pull air, and all affect how combustion appliances perform. If you want to be among the best in the industry, you must understand how these forces work together.

In this one-of-a-kind course, you will learn:

Using demonstrations, lecture, and the HAM House (Heat and Moisture), you’ll see air behavior come to life. This is not a “check-the-box” course, it’s practical, professional training that gives you tools you can use immediately in the field.

By completing Under Pressure, you’ll place yourself in the top tier of chimney sweeps nationwide, equipped with knowledge that sets you apart.
