Did you know that even a small tear in your duct work could be causing a drastic increase in your company’s energy bill? Not only is your already heated or cooled air escaping into crawl spaces, you’re also having to pay to heat or cool the air needed to replace it.
Were you aware that the blades on most ceiling fans can be reversed to blow hot air up to the ceiling in summer and coax it down into living areas during the winter? An electric ceiling fan can help your HVAC system warm and cool your home more efficiently.
MERV ratings indicate the size of airborne particles an HVAC filter can remove. Filters with MERV ratings between 8 and 11 are typically quite effective, but if your system can accommodate them, and it suits your needs, filters with higher ratings are available.
Experts highly recommend that you have your furnace cleaned and serviced every year, particularly when it comes to older furnaces. Over time, old furnaces can develop small cracks in the combustion chamber through which carbon dioxide can leak into your home.
If you have a new building project on the calendar, working with us from the beginning speeds up the process and reduces costs. Our design engineers will work with your architects on the plans to discuss the best way to ventilate the structure and where to locate heating and air-conditioning units.
Have you started to notice that your monthly heating or cooling bills are higher than they should be for the time of year? This is a good first indication that there could be a problem with your unit.
The coolant in electric air conditioners and refrigerators is usually Freon, which can cause environmental problems if it leaks. However, gas-powered air conditioners and refrigerators use ammonia, which is safe enough that it's generally used as a non-toxic cleaner.
We recognize that business owners outside of our industry may not know much about HVAC systems. Let’s talk about the needs of your business and any special requirements of your industry so that we can help you evaluate which systems are best for your business.
Did you know that most ceiling fans only use as much power as a 100-watt light bulb? Because of this low energy usage, they can reduce air conditioning bills by as much as 40 percent and heating bills by as much as 10 percent.
Did you know that energy use for heating and air conditioning accounts for more than 25 percent of the primary energy consumed in commercial buildings in the United States? This is why it’s so important to have the most efficient system possible installed.
These days, there are natural gas heating systems available that offer zoned heat. This allows you to set different temperatures individually for various parts of the home.
If how your building is used has changed since it was first constructed, replacing the old HVAC system may be a smart move. As traffic flow and occupancy hours have adjusted, as well as what equipment is used onsite, the demands placed on the old system may be more than it was designed to handle.
Did you know that not every home has the most efficient HVAC design for the floorplan? If you’re concerned that your system is operating at maximum efficiency, we can help you evaluate it and design a new one.
Did you know that the most common reason for an HVAC system to break has to do with clogged air filters? Filters should be changed based on manufacturer's specifications. If not, your system will have to work harder to circulate air, leading to higher monthly utility bills.
It only makes sense to work with an HVAC expert that can offer regular maintenance, handle repairs and install new heating and cooling systems, if necessary. We have the expertise to handle all aspects of your HVAC system.
The original concept of air conditioning is thought to come from Ancient Rome. Also, it’s said that early cooling applications and techniques were used in Medieval Persia using cisterns and wind towers. The emergence of central air conditioning came forth in the early 19th century due to the advances in chemistry.
