Congratulations on your decision to buy a new AC or Heating system. It can create a more comfortable living environment for you and your family while potentially lowering your home’s cooling costs in the summer as well. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) says most central air conditioning units last about 20 years. Even if …
Heat pumps have become increasingly popular in recent years. Since they transfer heat into and out of homes, they are energy efficient. Most heat pumps, in fact, consume less energy than both gas and electric furnaces. Whether your home currently has a heat pump, or if you’re thinking about investing in one, here’s some information …
Does your home have a heat pump? Heat pumps have become increasingly popular. They can cool and warm your home – just like traditional heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) systems. Heat pumps, however, have different cycles, one of which is the defrost cycle. Depending on how cold it is outside, your heat pump may enter …
What type of central heating system does your home use? If it uses a gas furnace, you’ll need to ensure that it’s properly ventilated. Gas furnaces must be ventilated to prevent the buildup of harmful gases. Turning a blind eye to poor or nonexistent ventilation will create a safety hazard for you and your family …
Your heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) system requires ducts to distribute conditioned air. As your HVAC system creates warm or cool air, it must distribute this conditioned air into your home’s living spaces. This is where ducts come into play. The conditioned air will move from the AC system or furnace into the ducts before …
Furnaces and heat pumps aren’t the only types of heating systems available. Another type is a hybrid heating system. Hybrid heating systems don’t use a single type of heating technology. Rather, they feature both a furnace and a heat pump. Hybrid heating systems offer both pros and cons. If you’re considering a hybrid heating system …
Heat pumps are commonly found in residential heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) systems. Many homes in Texas and the surrounding Southern states don’t have a furnace. Instead, they have a heat pump, which may or may not be used in conjunction with an AC system. You can use a heat pump to cool or warm …
There’s no substitution for a centralized heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system. Consisting of an AC system and a furnace (or heat pump), it will allow you to control the air temperature inside of your home. AC systems and furnaces, however, often require replacing. If you’re planning to upgrade your HVAC system, you should consider …
Heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) systems are available in different types. The two most common types include split and packaged. Both split HVAC systems and packaged HVAC systems can cool your home during the summer and warm your home during the winter. With that said, split HVAC systems and packaged HVAC systems aren’t the same. …
When researching ways to protect your home from humidity damage, you may come across whole-house dehumidifiers. They offer an easy and effective way to lower indoor humidity levels. Like all dehumidifiers, whole-house dehumidifiers remove moisture vapor from the air. As airborne moisture decreases, so will your home’s humidity levels. Whole-house dehumidifiers, however, leverage your home’s …
