AC Condensing Units

Air conditioners may look similar, but their Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) can vary widely. Higher SEER numbers save more money spent on electricity. A 14 SEER air conditioner, the EPA ’current minimum standard’, uses 7% less energy then a 13 SEER unit (EPA minimum standard up until Jan. 2015). Even though 14 SEER is the minimum efficiency available, we currently offer a line of air conditioners that start at 14 SEER and go all the way up to a 20 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 Pump Condensing Units

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.

Air Handlers
Air Handlers

The fan coil is the indoor component of a heat pump system. It includes the fan and the heating/cooling coil. The fan coil is designed for a particular refrigerant, so it must be matched with the heat pump or air conditioner.

We offer many fan coils 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 fan coils, and dramatically reduces system noise.

Gas Furnaces
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.

Packaged Units
Packaged Units

Our complete line of packaged systems includes: Packaged Air Conditioners, Packaged Gas Furnaces and Air Conditioners, Packaged Heat Pumps and Packaged Hybrid Heat.

These self-contained systems are located outside of the home, mounted on the ground or the roof, and ducted into the home.

Just like individual furnaces, air conditioners and heat pumps, these package units carry SEER, AFUE and HSPF ratings. The higher the rating, the more energy efficient the unit is. We carry a wide offering that includes advanced features such as 2-stage compressors, variable speed fans and quiet operation.

Dual Fuel Systems
Dual Fuel Systems

With a traditional heating and cooling system, if you wanted to save more, you had to use less. But a Dual Fuel 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 Dual Fuel 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 Dual Fuel 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.

mini-split, wall packaged heat-pumps

Room air conditioners make your home’s individual rooms or other small spaces more comfortable. Just like whole-home systems the higher the SEER and HSPF ratings the more efficient they will be.

We offer a variety of ductless heating and cooling and through-the-wall packaged terminal air conditioners (PTAC) systems to meet any individual room’s needs.

Boilers
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 starting at 80% AFUE and up.

Water Heaters
water heaters

After heating and cooling, water heating is typically the largest energy user in the home because it is necessary for so many domestic activities. The capacity of a water heater is an important consideration. The water heater should provide enough hot water at the busiest time of the day. We offer a wide variety of electric, gas and tankless water heaters..

warehouse/garage/workshop Heaters
warehouse/garage/workshop Heaters

When winter hits, there’s one area that we often wish was warmer than it is; the warehouse/garage or workshop. If you have a warehouse, detached garage that houses your vehicles or a workshop you may want to consider looking at a warehouse/garage/workshop heater. These can make the air in the building warmer and more comfortable for you or your employees. We offer a wide selection of electric and gas warehouse/garage/workshop heating systems.

Digital Programmable and Non-Programable T-Stats
Digital Programmable and Non-Programable T-Stats

Digital thermostats reflect more current technology. Instead of metal coils, they have electric temperature sensors and microprocessors. A lot of models today are actually programmable thermostats, which means you can set times for your system to run or shut down based on whenever you need it. Just set it and forget it! This thermostat is much more accurate at keeping your home comfortable.

A Digital Programmable Thermostat will cut back on your electric bills. By having a programmable thermostat installed, you can program your thermostat to drop the temperature in your home at a specified times.

Additional Product Offerings

Ambient Air Care also installs Humidifiers, Electrostatic/Electronic Air Cleaners and Ultraviolet Lamps for your homes indoor air quality.

Plenty of studies have been conducted on indoor air quality in the past couple of decades. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the air in our homes, offices, schools and stores is anywhere from two to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. A significant percentage of respiratory illnesses are brought on by unclean indoor air due to pollen build-up, bacteria, viruses, dust, dust mites, mold, spores, pet dander, and other allergens.

For these reasons, improving the indoor air quality in your home should be an important component of designing your ideal HVAC system. Technological advances in indoor air quality have been extremely beneficial for people that have allergies or other respiratory ailments. Improvements in indoor air quality are also crucial for homes with children and indoor pets.


Ultraviolet Light
Ultraviolet light

Ultraviolet lights 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.

Humidifiers
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 can eliminate static electricity and 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
