Top-Quality Heating and Air-Conditioning Equipment That We Offer

When the air conditioner is properly matched with a furnace or air handler, you get maximum efficiency and longer system life. Air-conditioning and cooling efficiency are measured using a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). A higher SEER rating means higher energy efficiency. 

Furnaces produce heat through the combustion of natural gas in the furnace's burner. The heat produced from this process then passes through a heat exchanger. Air from your home's return air ducts is blown over the heat exchanger, thus warming the air. The furnace's blower then blows the warmed air into the ductwork, which carries and disperses the warmed air throughout the home.

During warmer months, the blower inside a furnace continues to circulate return air throughout the home, only this time, the return air has been cooled by being blown over the indoor coil portion of the home's split-system air-conditioning unit. The condensing coil is typically installed on top of the furnace.

Air-conditioning alone can't satisfy your home's humidity requirements. Your air-conditioning system is designed to control temperature, not humidity, and only removes humidity as a byproduct of cooling. If during the spring and fall seasons when it’s still cool outside but damp inside, your air-conditioning isn’t running and your house is uncomfortable, then you need a whole-home dehumidifier. 

A whole-house dehumidifier installs as part of your home’s central heating and cooling system, with a rated capacity of 90 pints per day. The dehumidifier measures the condition of your home’s air to decide when to run. An integrated air cycling feature will activate the HVAC blower to cycle air throughout the house to balance conditions. The dehumidifier has an optional ventilation damper that can mix fresh outside air into the process. A whole-house dehumidifier works equally well in new or existing homes, and is truly the complete solution for your home’s excess indoor humidity problems. 

Whole-home dehumidifiers are located out of sight and out of your way with a quiet operation, a hassle-free maintenance, and up to 4 times more energy efficiency than the leading portable dehumidifier! The most efficient and safe way to rid your home of excess humidity is the whole-home dehumidifier.

Elevated relative humidity at a surface of 70% or higher can lead to problems with mold, corrosion, decay, and other moisture-related deterioration. An elevated relative humidity in carpet and within fabrics can lead to dust mite infestation and mildew (mildew is mold growing on fabrics).

Excess indoor humidity provides the perfect breeding ground for mold, mildew, dust mites, bacteria, and more. A whole-house dehumidifier combats these nasty home invaders, which are linked to asthma, allergies, and other serious respiratory problems.

Few things impact your home’s comfort more than excess indoor humidity. When you turn up your air conditioner to try and get rid of indoor stickiness, you’re really just making your home uncomfortably cool. A dehumidifier allows you to wipe out that clammy feeling and say goodbye to musty odors. Plus, optional built-in ventilation allows you to bring in conditioned, fresh outside air, ensuring your home remains properly ventilated.

Excess indoor humidity allows mold and mildew to thrive, which can ruin carpets, draperies, furniture, and even clothing. It can also cause condensation build-up on windows, destroying their finishes, and structural integrity. A whole-house dehumidifier helps protect your home and its contents by removing unnecessary moisture from your home’s air whenever it rises to an inappropriate and harmful level.

Many homeowners turn up their air-conditioning to get rid of the stickiness or clammy feeling caused by high indoor humidity. A whole-house dehumidifier eliminates the need to over-cool, allowing for a higher thermostat setting for the same comfort level. And because it is more energy efficient than portable dehumidifiers, it uses less energy for the same amount of moisture removed. 

Providing year-round performance for home comfort, heat pumps are a great solution for your home comfort system. That’s because they work to provide both heating and cooling. Whether it’s the hottest day of summer or the coldest day of winter, heat pumps work day in and day out to keep your family in premium comfort. 

It also provides a year-round, energy-efficient indoor comfort for moderate climates. A central heat pump helps maintain comfortable temperatures inside your home and reduces humidity levels year-round. Homes located in regions with severely cold temperatures may either require supplemental heating or be better served with an air conditioner/furnace combination.

Geothermal HVAC systems, also called ground source heat pumps, are among the most energy-efficient systems available. Depending on the situation, typical energy savings are from 25 to 70%.

According to the U.S. EPA, these systems have the lowest life cycle cost of any HVAC system. Although they usually cost more to install, they generally require less maintenance and repairs. Depending on the local conditions, the time required to recover the installation expense can be pretty short. The basic geothermal system consists of three parts - the loop system, the heat pump, and the duct system. 

The next part of the system is the actual heat pump. They work like a typical heat pump operating, but the main difference is that their heating and cooling capacity and efficiency do not change as much because the ground temperature is relatively constant. The unit uses a reversing valve to change the direction of refrigerant flow. This determines whether heat is added or removed from the air in the home. In addition to heating and cooling the home, most of the units can provide a good portion of the homes' hot water requirements. In these systems, hot water is only produced when the home requires heating or cooling. 

The final part of the forced air geothermal system is the duct system. This is similar to a conventional duct system, although the ducts are typically bigger. There are three basic ways these systems are installed. The first way is a series of plastic pipes buried in trenches about four feet deep. This is called a horizontal loop system. It is an economical solution where sufficient land area is available. In the vertical loop system, the pipes are buried in a series of holes drilled down about 200 feet. The holes are filled with a material called grout. This ensures good heat transfer between the pipe and the ground. This method is usually more expensive to install due to the specialized drilling required. But, much less land area is required, so it is a more common solution in smaller cities and towns. The last method involves submerging the loop system in a pond or a lake. 

Usually, the loops are placed on a rack and submerged. The earth's temperature at the depths of these loops stays relatively constant all year. In the U.S., it is about 45-55 degrees all year. In the warmer parts of the world, the temperature can be as high as 70 degrees. But even at that temperature, they can still provide superior cooling capacity.
