You may have noticed a new link on our home page for Mercury Recycling.  EWC Controls has been recycling old mercury thermostats for years.  We are now making it easier for everyone to return thermostats purchased through our company.  Whether you’re a distributor, contractor, or homeowner with an EWC Controls mercury thermostat to dispose of, just follow the link for instructions.

Often times when you are scoping out a job and planning ahead for the duct pathways and the bypass duct layout, you don’t always have the room you need for standard bypass duct sizes and standard bypass damper sizes. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could change the bypass duct size to fit into the area you have to work with? Well now you can!

EWC Controls has taken the same Split Shaft Design used in our popular URD & RSD dampers and designed them into our PRD Bypass Dampers! This allows us to produce a Rectangular or Square Bypass Damper in just about any reasonable size you may need! The Split Shafts are made from the same ThermoTuff® material we use in all of our dampers, so you know they will last.

So go ahead and re-size your Bypass Duct to handle the CFM you need to bypass and be assured that you can match that duct size with a High Quality Barometric Bypass Damper built to your specified dimensions only from EWC Controls.

This week we had to say good-bye to Laura.  Laura K. had been an EWC Controls employee for 23 years.  She worked in many facets of the operation and contributed 100% everyday. 

Laura and her husband are moving to “The Carolinas” to build their dream home for retirement.  We are going to miss her enthusiastic and dedicated service to our company.  It is not easy to find a replacement for such a true professional.

 All of us at EWC Controls want to wish Laura and her family great success and happiness in their new journey.

EWC Controls has upgraded the powerful UZC4 Zone System again! In addition to controlling De-humidification, the Auxiliary Relay feature can also Slow Down a Variable Speed Blower when a single zone is calling for cooling! Essentially the UZC4 will perform this function if 25% or less of the total number of zones are calling for cooling. The feature goes a step further and allows the Installer to specify a single particular zone to Slow Down the blower while other zones cannot. This feature can be very useful and gives the Contractor another reason to Specify the Ultra-Zone Model UZC4. Download the UZC4 Technical Bulletin, Rev. F and refer to Page 15 for more information and to view a sample Wiring Diagram.

EWC Controls has upgraded the powerful UZC4 Zone system to include function specific colored LED’s. The Compressor output LED’s are now Yellow and the Fan output LED is now Green and the Reversing Valve output is now Orange and the Damper output LED’s are also Green, etc. etc. Download the latest UZC4 Technical Bulletin (Rev. D) and refer to page 21. Stay tuned for other UZC4 upgrades coming real soon.

Did you know that EWC Controls has a full team of technicians that answer calls from 8AM to 5PM Eastern Standard Time???  When you call 1-800-446-3110, simply press -3-, ask for Technician help, and our operator will connect you to a live person……not a computer prompt that asks you to press a series of extensions.

The technicians employed by EWC Controls have extensive knowledge of the product line, and can offer helpful hints and general information on duct sizing and a wide variety of zoning theories.  In addition to the help you can get by phone, EWC also publishes its’ wiring schematics on the website (User Manuals) and our technicians can fax or email these diagrams whenever needed.  Simply ask, and our technicians can custom create wiring schematics to fit your zoning needs where applicable!

Let EWC Controls help you get the job done right!

We started shipping the newer updated BMPlus panels last week.  These panels allow for any thermostat to be used at any zone.  This allows for greater flexibility for the installer.  We have also changed the sequence in which we were operating the reversing valve.  We will now hold the reversing valve at the end of every call.

For more information on these updates please contact your EWC Controls rep. or call the factory.

There are always new projects in the works here at EWC Controls. We hope that by adding a blog our engineers and salesmen can leave you brief comments on our newest innovations.
