Requirements & Refrigerant
Requirements - Know the FACTS:
§ Is your system efficient?
§ In January
2006, the Department of Energy increased the minimum efficiency from 10 to 13
SEER. SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) indicates the efficiencies of
different types of equipment. The majority of systems installed before 1992 are
10 SEER or below and will continue to drop in efficiency as the system ages..
The
upcoming R22 Refrigerant changes:
In January 2010, chemical manufacturers may still produce R-22 to service existing equipment, but not for use in new equipment. As a result, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system manufacturers will only be able to use pre-existing supplies of R-22 to produce new air conditioners and heat pumps. These existing supplies would include R-22 recovered from existing equipment and recycled. All systems manufactured after Jan 1, 2010 wil be with R410A
Refrigerant. These highly efficient R410A system are currently available to all consumers.
Another important thing a homeowner can do for the environment is to purchase a
highly energy-efficient system. Energy-efficient systems result in cost savings
for the homeowner. Today's best air conditioners use much less energy to produce
the same amount of cooling as air conditioners made in the mid-1970s. Even if
your air conditioner is only 10 years old, you may save significantly on your
cooling energy costs by replacing it with a newer, more efficient model.
Products with EPA's Energy Star® label can save homeowners 10% to 40% on their
heating and cooling bills every year. These products are made by most major
manufacturers and have the same features as standard products but also
incorporate energy saving technology. Both R-22 and R-410A systems may have the
Energy Star® label. Equipment that displays the Energy Star® label must have a
minimum seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). The higher the SEER
specification, the more efficient the equipment
We Offer several High SEER Equipment choices from a 14 SEER to an 18 SEER with the NEW R410A Refrigerant. Puchasing a higher seer system will SAVE you $$$$$ on your energy cost up to a 50% Savings.

§ What is a System?
§ Before we
can explain how your home can be more comfortable, it's important to understand
exactly what a home comfort system is. Most common is a forced air system that
uses air ducts to carry conditioned air throughout your home.
§ A typical
forced air system employs an air conditioner, furnace and coil, or a heat pump
and air handler. These systems are called split systems because they require
both an outdoor and an indoor unit.
The
opposite of a split system is a package unit. Instead of an outdoor unit and an
indoor unit, all systems and components are housed in a single cabinet and
installed outdoors, or sometimes in the attic. But regardless of whether it is
a split system or a package unit, the concept is the same. Each component is
designed and engineered to work together in what is called a "matched
system". A matched system is composed of compatible equipment and is
perfectly balanced. This is the best way to ensure optimum performance with thehighest comfort,efficiency, and longevity
