Air Conditioners |
|
|
 |
|
Air conditioners may look similar, but their
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) can
vary widely. A 13 SEER air conditioner, the
EPA “current minimum standard”, uses 23%
less energy then, a 10 SEER unit. Even
though 13 SEER is the minimum efficiency
available, we currently offer a line of air
conditioners that start at 13 SEER and go
all the way up to a 21 SEER . Depending on
your average usage, higher SEER air
conditioners can significantly reduce your
electric bill.
Additionally, we offer many air conditioners
that have advanced features, such as 2-stage
compressors and variable speed fan
operation. These features not only improve
the comfort level of your home, but can
provide additional energy savings as well. |

Heat Pumps |
|
|
 |
Heat pumps are a great solution for your
home comfort system because they work to
provide both heating and cooling. Heat
pumps have SEER ratings like air
conditioners and Heating Seasonal
Performance Factor (HSPF) ratings for
measuring heating efficiency. Higher SEER
and HSPF ratings mean greater energy
savings.
Heat pumps are a very efficient alternative
to electric heat. A heat pump works the same
as an air conditioner in the summer, but it
runs in reverse in the winter to heat your
home. The system will be matched with a
backup heating source, most often electric
heat for those extremely cold days of
winter.
Just like our air conditioners, many of our
heat pumps have advanced features, such as
2-stage compressors and variable speed fan
operation. These features not only improve
the comfort level of your home, but can
provide additional energy savings as well. |

Gas Furnaces |
|
|
 |
Today’s new high-efficiency furnaces can save up to
50% in operating costs over a ten-year-old furnace.
Many 1990 and earlier model furnaces have Annual
Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings of 65% or
less. The minimum AFUE rated furnace that can be
sold in the United States today is 80%.
Our current product offering starts at 80% AFUE and
goes all the way to a very efficient 96.6% AFUE
rating. Depending on your average usage, higher AFUE
rated furnaces can significantly reduce your gas
bill.
We offer many furnaces with variable and multi-speed
features that can provide enhanced indoor comfort by
slowly ramping up to your thermostat setting rather
than simply turning on at full speed. This
alleviates the ‘cold air blow’ often associated with
single speed furnaces, and dramatically reduces
system noise. |

Hybrid Systems |
|
|
 |
With a traditional heating and cooling system, if
you wanted to save more, you had to use less. But a
Hybrid Heat system combines the benefits of
intelligent control for both gas and electric
heating to create an intuitive system that can
actually react to changing conditions.
No matter what the temperature is outside, a Hybrid
Heat system will automatically select the fuel
source most efficient for your home, which means
you'll stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer
and save money all year long.
To design a Hybrid Heat system for your home, we
professionally match one of our heat pump units with
a natural gas furnace. Contact us to see how much
energy you can save over your existing system. |

Boilers |
|
|
 |
If your home has
hot water radiators in each room for heat, you have
a boiler to heat the water. Like a furnace, the
energy efficiency of a boiler is given as the Annual
Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). Boilers
manufactured since 1992 must have an AFUE of at
least 80%. We offer a complete line of gas and oil
boilers ranging from 80% AFUE to 99% AFUE. |

Controlled Climate Systems are Certified Indoor Air
Quality Experts thru Carrier. |
|
|
Air Cleaners |
|
|
 |
Air cleaners effectively remove bacteria, pollen,
animal dander and other pollutants as small as 0.01
microns. That's 18,000 times smaller than the head
of a pin. The higher the Minimum Efficiency
Reporting Value (MERV), the more efficiently the
cleaner removes particles. We offer air cleaners
that range from MERV 10 to MERV 15 to meet your
needs. For those families that have severe
allergies, we also offer Whole House High Efficiency
Particulate Arresting (HEPA) filtration systems. |
|
|
Humidifiers |
|
|
 |
Humidifiers work in tandem with your furnace system
to deliver desired humidity levels throughout your
home. Maintaining proper humidity levels in your
home is essential to maintaining indoor comfort
during the winter months. Moderate humidity levels
make you feel warmer at lower temperatures, which
means you can set your thermostat lower without
sacrificing comfort.
Depending on the size of your home, we offer a
variety of humidifiers to deliver the right amount
of moisture into the air. Sizing of humidifiers is
measured in Gallons Per Day (GPD), and we offer
models from 12 GPD to 18 GPD. |

Ventilators |
|
|
 |
Ventilators bring fresh air into your home without
losing heating or cooling energy. Their unique
energy exchange system transfers the heating or
cooling energy from the stale air being exhausted
from your home to the fresh air the ventilator
brings into your home.
If your family suffers from allergies, ventilators
are a much better alternative for introducing fresh
air into your home verses opening your windows. They
also do a great job of reducing cooking and pet
odors, smoke and other pollutants out of your home. |
|
|
UV Lights |
|
|
 |
Ultraviolet light kills bacteria and mold growing on
your indoor coil before they are circulated
throughout your home. UV lamps are installed near
your existing indoor coil and work diligently to rid
your home of the bacteria, viruses, mold and germs
that impact your home's health. We install 1 or 2
lights per indoor coil, depending on the size of the
coil. |

|
Carbon Monoxide
Detectors |
|
|
 |
CO detectors can
protect your family from deadly carbon monoxide gas.
Fuel-burning appliances such as oil and gas
furnaces, gas water heaters, gas ranges and ovens,
gas dryers, gas or kerosene space heaters,
fireplaces and wood stoves are all sources of carbon
monoxide.
A monitored carbon monoxide detector will alert you
if high levels of this deadly gas are detected.
Local building ordinances require the installation
of carbon monoxide detectors in your home. |
