Equipment Information
When it comes to your heating and cooling system, make sure you understand basic information about what each part of your system does!
Furnaces Dale City
Heating and air conditioning systems are the biggest users of energy in the home, making up to 75% of the utility bill. A new high efficiency furnace can save up to 50% in operating costs over a ten-year-old furnace. Many 1990 and earlier model furnaces have efficiencies of 65% or less. The minimum efficiency furnace that can be sold in the United States today is 78%. Furnaces are available that are up to 96.6% efficient.
Air Conditioners Dale City
Air conditioners may look similar, but check the SEER ratings when looking for your next unit. Higher SEER numbers save more money than older systems with lower SEER numbers. For example, 16 SEER can save up to half the energy used by older systems. Currently, the government requires a minimum of 13 SEER. Future legislation could raise the minimum to 15 SEER or higher.
Heat Pumps Dale City
Heat pumps are rated in SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor). SEER and HSPF ratings are like Miles per Gallon rating of automobiles. Higher SEER and HSPF ratings mean greater energy savings.
Fan Coils Dale City
The fan coil is the indoor component of a heat pump system. It includes the fan and the heating/cooling coil. The fan coil is designed for a particular refrigerant, so it must match with the heat pump. A variable speed fan coil can improve comfort with improved humidity control and warmer heating temperatures, and save energy in cooling.
Generators Dale City
Your family should have power and heat or AC year-round, even in unpredictable, bad weather. Generators run on natural or propane gas and convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. This electricity is sent to your home so that your lights will stay on and your heating and cooling will still run. For most generators, one tank of fuel can usually supply power for up to 8 hours. You should always have a generator on hand to serve as backup in the event of any unforeseen power outages.
Commercial Applications
Commercial systems and buildings operate entirely different than residential buildings. Whereas most homes have approximately the same amount of heating hours and cooling hours in a typical year, commercial buildings usually have four to five times as many cooling hours as heating hours, in fact after morning warm-up, even in the middle of the winter, most of the interior spaces of commercial buildings require cooling.
Thermostats and Zoning Dale City
Argent offers a full line of electronic thermostats to provide optimum comfort for all types of homes. Attractive designs, large, easy-to-read numbers, backlit displays and simple programming are just some of the features that make these thermostats the best choice for controlling your home.
