Air Conditioners Traditional split systems have two parts: an indoor unit, such as a furnace or air handler, and an outdoor unit. An air conditioner is the outdoor unit that cools air and sends it to the indoor unit for circulation through your home. When the air conditioner is properly matched with a furnace or air handler, you get maximum efficiency and longer system life. Cooling efficiency is measured using a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). A unit rated SEER 13 is 30% more efficient than a unit with a SEER rating of 10. The air conditioners we offer are available up to a highly efficient SEER 20.
		Heat Pumps Heat pumps are part of a split system just like an air conditioning unit, however they are more efficient. In the summer, a heat pump draws heat out of your home to cool it. In the winter, it draws heat from outside air into your home to warm it (even though air may be cold in the winter, there is heat in the air and a heat pump system balances between this and using the furnace). Hybrid systems such as Bryant's Hybrid Heat® system allows for even greater savings by balancing between what component (heat pump or furnace) is used at what times to offer the greatest amount of energy savings.
		Furnaces Furnaces come typically as gas or oil powered and provide warm air in the winter. A furnace's heating ability is measured with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) percentage. As with SEER ratings for air conditioners and heat pumps, a higher AFUE percentage indicates a more efficient furnace. We offer furnaces with an AFUE rating all the way up to an amazing 96.6 which means very efficient heating. Combine this with a heat pump, and you will experience a nice break in your winter utility bills.
		Boilers Oil or Gas fired boilers are used with traditional hydronic or radiant heat systems to offer quiet, floor based heat for homes. Our top of the line boilers are state of the art using cast aluminum heat exchangers as opposed to cast iron resulting in AFUE ratings up to 90% which means better efficiency resulting in lower utility bills.
		Packaged Products In a packaged system, all equipment is built into an outdoor unit, usually on a concrete slab or other platform. These systems can serve just one purpose - such as cooling - or they can offer a complete "package" by providing cooling and heating. The packaged air systems we offer come as both gas and electric. The efficiency of packaged systems are rated using SEER (for cooling efficiency), AFUE% (for gas heating efficiency) and HSPF (for heat pump efficiency). Ductwork is required to transfer the heated or cooled air throughout the home.
		Air Cleaners The ability for filters in your HVAC system to remove particles from the air is rated using a MERV rating. MERV ratings range from 1 - 16 and are measured in microns. Many home filters in use today only have MERV ratings of 1 - 4 which means mold spores, pollen and other unpleasant particles are recycled throughout the home. We offer enhanced air cleaners with MERV ratings as high as 15 to keep the air in your home and office clean. These air cleaners combined with UV lights can have a dramatic impact on the quality of the air you breath.
		UV Lights Reducing the pollutants in the air using an air cleaner with a high MERV rating is necessary. However air filters cannot combat chemicals, dust mites and mold alone. Studies have shown that germicidal ultra-violet lights are effective in killing harmful bacteria while even reducing the spread of illness like smallpox, tuberculosis and measles. These lights are mounted inside your air conditioning coil to work with the air filter in providing pure air for you and your family.
		Humidifiers Humidity is very important in dry areas. Symptoms of dry climates are dry skin & eyes, nose bleed, static electricity (clothes clinging to you, hair clinging to your comb or brush and electric shock when you touch a metal object). All of these can be cured by raising the humidity in your home which can be accomplished with a humidifier connected to your air conditioning system (and capable thermostat) Humidifiers are part of our four-part air quality solution that we recommend for both residential and commercial customers.
		Ventilators A ventilator is like opening up the windows in your home without losing any of your heat in the winter or cool air in the summer. Ventilators are part of our recommended clean air solution as they exchange the indoor stale air with fresh air from outside. This assists in eliminating pollutants, bacteria, etc. When fresh air is brought in from outside, the ventilator "transfers" the heating and cooling energy from the stale air to the fresh air, and then exhausts the stale air back outside.
		Fan & Evaporator Coils Fan coils heat air in your forced air heating system. Evaporator coils with the forced cooling system, condition air for circulating into your home. One problem that has plagued air conditioning companies for a long time is coil failures due to corrosion. The coils we recommend have tin plating which allows the continued use of copper coils as they are superior for heat transfer, but the tin significantly reduces the corrosive impact of pollutants.
		Thermostats & Controls Thermostats are your interface and control system for your hvac equipment. They come in many shapes and sizes with different features from basic temperature control to 7-day programming, wireless access and more. Additionally thermostats offer other options such as controlling humidity levels (when you have the correct HVAC components installed). Remote access and zoning systems control are other nice features available in controls today.
		Standy Generators Having a great HVAC system to keep your indoor climate perfect during the worst weather does nothing for you when the power goes out. How many other things besides temperature levels would be affected by a loss of power at your residence? Lights, refrigerated foods and alarm systems to name a few. We offer gas line fed generator solutions that can keep you going during a power outage. Trust us - the first time your home in the only one on the block with lights on at night you'll be glad you installed a standby generator.
