Consistent heat, circulating heat and controlling temperature are three tasks that are all closely intertwined. The entire process involves the furnace /boiler, fuel type, distribution system (ducts, pipes or fans), thermostats and the way in which the furnace delivers heat. If you are considering adding heat to your home, it is important for you to first determine the type of system you are considering. When replacing your existing system, you have the option of extending the existing system or supplementing it with a more energy/space-efficient model of heating appliance.

Are you aware that the air in most homes is more polluted than the outside air? Pollutants within your home can come from a wide variety of sources both inside and outside the home. For instance, your home furniture, such as upholstery or draperies may release chemicals into the air when moved as they tend to hold pollutants in their fabric.

Schedule your central air appointment with us. Central Air Conditioning systems deliver cool, humidified and/or electronically cleaned cool air through the same duct work and used by heated air. A central air system works by running on electricity and removing heat from the air with by way of basic refrigeration cooling techniques. Heat Pumps can also be used to cool your home. In colder months, a heat pump extracts heat from the outside air and delivers it to the interior of the home. On hot summer days, the system works exactly the opposite, extracting heat from air in the rooms within the home air and pumping it outside.

In a large household, the biggest, gas-fired model cannot supply enough hot water for simultaneous, multiple uses. For example, taking a shower while running the dishwasher may tax a tankless water heater. You can install two or more tankless water heaters, connected for simultaneous demands of hot water, installed or separately for appliances-such as a clothes washer or dishwater. Cost versus energy savings. Tankless water heaters cost more than conventional storage tank water heaters. But they can be 24%-34% more energy efficient than tank water heaters if your home uses 41 gallons or less of hot water each day.

Regular furnace maintenance is the key to an efficient heating system. Dirty filters, clogged burner ports and improper settings can drastically reduce furnace efficiency. Failure to keep up with furnace maintenance can lead to high expenses and even become dangerous. Regardless of what type of central furnace you have, it is recommend that you get a yearly inspection by a qualified service technician and replace or clean filters on a monthly basis in order to avoid costly furnace repairs. Central furnace systems that consist of heat exchangers have the potential of filling every room with undetectable, poisonous carbon monoxide gas which is why it is highly recommended you get a carbon monoxide test on your current furnace.

The majority of conventional storage water heaters are gas-fueled, but electric water heaters give you another power option for your water heating system. Like gas models, most electric water heaters have a reservoir from 20 to 80 gallons. Turn on the hot water tap, and hot water is released from the top of the tank. Cold water enters the bottom of the tank, so the tank is always full. Electric water heaters usually feature two electric elements, each with its own thermostat. The element at the bottom of the tank maintains a minimum thermostat setting.

Gas boilers are efficient, reliable, long lasting heating systems. Water boilers provide a quiet, consistent, clean source of heat and they normally require very little maintenance. Steam heating systems operate in a very unique fashion. A gas or oil-fired burner is responsible for heating water and turning it into steam. This steam is then passed through a series of pipes, eventually escaping through a radiator or convector. At this point, rooms are warmed by the heat given off by the steam. Once the steam cools off and condenses itself, the water returns to the water boiler to be heated all over again.

Longer Life span: Geothermal systems and ground loops can have a life expectancy of up to 30 years. The main advantage of a geothermal heating and cooling system is its energy efficiency. For every one unit of energy a geothermal system uses, it produces 2.5 to 3.5 units of heat which meaning an average efficiency of over 300 percent! In comparison, a high-efficiency natural gas furnace would have an efficiency of 92 percent, meaning 92 cents of every energy dollar used is put back into your home in the form of warmed air.

What is a Heat Pump and how does it work? Did you know that your refrigerator is a heat pump? A heat pump uses electricity to move heat from a cool space into a warm space, which makes the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. A heat pump moves heat rather than generates heat, heat pumps can also provide up to 4 times the amount of heat from the electricity it consumes. A heat pump has many advantages vs. air conditioning/furnace unit. Need More Information on Heat Pump Systems?

According to the Department of Energy, your heating and air conditioning system operates approximately 3,100 hours per year. To put this "run time" in perspective, a car driven for the same 3,100 hours at 65 miles per hour would travel 201,500 miles. No one would consider such a journey without arranging oil changes, lubrication, and routine tune-ups along the way to assure the efficiency, safety, and reliability of the vehicle. Your home heating and air conditioning system services you many more hours than your car, and like your car, needs routine tune-ups to operate in an efficient safe, and reliable manner.

Is your furnace or boiler older than 15 years of age? If it is, it most likely is not a high efficiency heating unit, it also could be costing you to heat your home. If your furnace was installed prior to 1992 you may have a unit that has a pilot light. If that is the case the efficiency of that unit is 65% AFUE or less. If your furnace or boiler is 15 years or older, and you are experiencing high utility bills or discomfort in you home we recommend that you a highly-qualified home performance or heating contractor come out to evaluate your existing system or concerns no charge and will provide recommendation if it will be more cost-effective to replace or improve your homes insulation and air-tightness, repair or insulate duct work, or tune up your system.
