What is the most important decision when purchasing a quality home comfort system: A- Choosing the right brand B- Choosing the right contractor C- Choosing the lowest price D- Choosing the right color
If you chose B, you chose wisely. Even the best equipment improperly installed will not perform at it's rated capacity or efficiency. It's reliability and useful life will also be compromised.
Air conditioning systems do not come out of a box, your comfort system is unique to your home. Proper sizing of the equipment and the duct system is vital if you are to get the efficiency and comfort you paid for.
How is that done?
A Load Calculation is required.
A contractor that does not offer a computerized load calculation can only guess at the correct size equipment for your home. In addition many equipment combinations are possible, these effect capacity and efficiency. Knowing the exact heating and cooling needs of your home is vital to making the right choices.
The Duct System.
It is also a vital part of your indoor comfort system. It distributes the cooled or heated air to the rooms in your home. A leaky duct system can reduce your new high efficiency equipment to an energy guzzler! On average a typical duct system leaks 25 to 30 percent of the air put into it!
We can test your existing duct system for leaks, then make any needed repairs. Ensuring you get the most from your energy dollars.
