Manage episode 480659639 series 2132546
In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie talks with Tom Lorenz the Director of Product Management at Copeland and Emerson, Randy Ruiz, the chief engineer at Emersion, and Ben Reed who is the principal of Teal Maker and Technical Marketing Specialist at HVAC Know it All and measureQuick, about a new wireless HVAC tool called the Equipment Interface Module (EIM). Tom explains how it helps fix wiring problems without needing to pull new wires, making upgrades easier. Randy shares how the team built and tested the EIM to make sure it is strong and reliable. Ben adds that wireless tech is getting better and saves time and money. They also discuss how the EIM works with the Sensi Touch 2 thermostat for full system control.
Tom Lorenz, Randy Ruiz, and Ben Reed talk about a new wireless tool that helps HVAC systems work without extra wiring. Tom explains how the Equipment Interface Module (EIM) makes upgrades easier, even when wires are missing or broken. Randy shares how they built and tested the product to be tough and reliable. Ben talks about why wireless tech saves time and money and is now ready for real-world use. They also explain how the EIM works with the Sensi Touch 2 thermostat to fully control heating, cooling, and air quality.
Here, Tom Lorenz, Randy Ruiz, and Ben Reed talk about a new wireless HVAC tool called the Equipment Interface Module (EIM). They explain how it helps fix wiring problems without pulling new wires, making system upgrades faster and easier. They also share how the EIM makes setups simple by connecting wirelessly to the Sensi Touch 2 thermostat. The guests clear up any confusion about wireless tech, showing how tough, easy, and reliable it has become for real-world HVAC jobs.
