Heating and Air Conditioning Systems
<Things to Consider><New Construction><Replacing or Upgrading an Existing System>
There are many factors that may influence your purchase of a new heating or air conditioning system for your home or office. Depending on the type of building (commercial, residential), size, and heating/air conditioning needs, your choices vary considerably. The right combination can help you to enjoy cleaner air, consistent temperatures, and great energy savings.
Some things to consider...
Components: Whether you are heating, cooling, humidifying, or controlling the temperature in your home or business, here are the basic components of a heating / cooling system.
- Gas Furnace - the most popular method of heating an indoor area.
- Electric Heating System - without access to gas, electric heating systems are a great option.
- Air Conditioner - for complete comfort control, maintain a consistent temperature year around.
- Air Cleaners - depending on your needs, as much as 99.97% of the small particles can be filtered from your indoor air. <See also: Air Quality>
- Humidifier - humidity should be kept in the 30-60 percent range. During cold weather, humidity can drop as low as 10 percent. Installing a humidifier into your main HVAC system can help maintain proper humidity levels indoors.<See also:Air Quality>
- Thermostat Control System - we have all used a basic thermostat to control our indoor temperature. Today's thermostats can be programmed to control temperature & ventilation rates at different times of the day and room by room!
- Ventilation System - Allows the heating and or cooling system to move air throughout your home or business.
Air Quality: Your heating and or air conditioning system can have a real impact on your health and well-being. Selecting the right components can affect the air quality of your indoor environment. Here are some general facts about indoor air quality.<See also:Air Quality>
- Indoor air can be up to 70 times more polluted than the air outdoors.
- 50% of all illness is caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air.
- There are up to 30 million dust and pollutant particles in one cubic foot of air.
- The average person breaths 500 cubic feet of air daily.
- The average home accumulates 40 pounds of dust a year.
- Inadequate humidification can increase the occurrence of respiratory infections and winter colds.
Selecting the right components for your home can help you control the air you breath. Filters can clean the air. Thermostats can control the temperature and humidity. A new furnace can equate to lower energy bills. Air Conditioning can help you maintain a consistent temperature year around. Any combination of these components can be installed in a new home/building or an existing home/building.
