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. |
|||
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. Back To Top |

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. Back To Top |
|||
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%. Back To Top |
|||
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. Back To Top |

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. Back To Top |
|||
Room by Room Solutions: 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. Back To Top |
|||
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. Back To Top |
|||
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.. Back To Top |
|||
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. Back To Top |
|||
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. |
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 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. Back To Top |
|||
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. |
|||
Electrostatic and Electronic 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. |

Remember to do your own due-diligence before hiring any contractor and that lower cost may sacrifice quality and service.
