FAQ

How do I know when it’s time to replace my heating or air conditioning system?

 

1. Do you have hot or cold rooms in the house?

A new, properly installed system can yield the same temperature from one end of the house to the other.

2. Do you have to wear a sweatshirt or wrap yourself in a blanket when you’re “relaxing” at home?

Variable speed two-stage furnaces, hydro-air, and radiant heating can stop drafts in your home.

 

What is a Dual Fuel System?

Installing a Heat Pump in conjunction with an existing fossil fuel system,
i.e. gas furnace, results in a Dual Fuel System.
With Dual Fuel, you control the utility instead of the utility controlling you.

 

What does my Indoor Unit do?

The indoor part of a central air conditioning or heat pump system is also called an Air Handler. This moves the air throughout the ductwork of your home.
Air Handlers may be placed in an attic, garage or closet or laundry room space. It is a good idea to have your Air Handler serviced at least twice a year.

 

How DOES a Heat Pump work?

A Heat Pump is an HVAC unit that heats or cools by moving heat.
Simply put, in the summer it moves the warm air out of the house and in the winter moves the warm air into the house.
(HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning).

 

What is meant by a split system?

A split system is simply one that has its major parts located in two separate areas.  For instance, the outside section, (the condensing unit),  and the inside section, consisting of the evaporator coil and a furnace or it could be a Heat Pump outside and Air Handler inside.
