Heating
What does HVAC mean? HVAC is an acronym that stands for Heating,
Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. The term HVAC is used to describe
a complete home comfort system that can be used to heat and cool your home, as well as provide improved indoor air quality.
When choosing cooling and heating systems, you should consider things like:
- Heating Size or Heating Capacity
- Cooling Size or Cooling Capacity
- Energy Efficiency
We
design each component of your heating and cooling systems with your comfort, and budget in mind. We want your home to be comfortable,
for some people that means control over the settings and temperature, for others uncompromising energy efficiency is most important,
and many are looking for quiet performance at a price they can afford. Our goal is to give you that ideal indoor comfort, no matter
what the weather is outside.

Heating Systems
Residential
heating systems are designed to provide warmth and comfort in homes during colder months. These systems include a variety
of equipment such as furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps, which can serve as both ac and heating units. A residential heating system
is an installation that includes components like a furnace to maintain warm temperatures indoors efficiently and reliably. These systems
are intended for homeowners looking to ensure their living spaces remain warm during the winter, especially in regions experiencing
significant seasonal temperature variations.
There is a lot of consideration that goes into buying a new heating system – size, features, price. But one of the most important
factors is the AFUE ratio. The AFUE ratio of a central heating system is the system's energy
efficiency ratio. Choosing
a
higher AFUE ratio system will have noticeable impact on the price you pay for your heating system as
well as the price you pay on your energy bills over the years your new system is in service.
Furnaces are rated by the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratio, which is the percent
of heat produced for every dollar of fuel consumed. Like the miles-per-gallon rating on your automobile, the higher the AFUE ratio,
the lower your fuel costs. A furnace with an AFUE of 80 will turn 80% of its fuel into useable heat, while wasting about 20% of its
fuel through either air leaks, inefficient burners or a less-advanced design.
The current minimum AFUE ratio allowed by the Department of Energy is a rating
of
80% for gas furnaces. By today’s industry standards, a minimum efficiency model
actually falls into the mid-efficiency category of 80 – 83% AFUE. These furnaces usually include fans that
control the flow of combustion air and gases, and typically have electronic ignition instead of a continuously burning pilot light.
Low efficiency units are older, existing systems that may reach 56 – 70% AFUE. These units often include a continuous pilot light and
natural draft induction. High efficiency units are in the 90 – 98.5% AFUE and include features like two heat exchangers, a sealed
combustion system, two or more heating stages, variable speed fans.
The benefits of Heating Systems include:
- Efficient
Heating - Modern heating systems are designed to optimize energy
use,
reducing heating utility bills and conserving energy
- Versatility - Equipment like heat pumps offer both heating and cooling, providing
year-round climate control from a single system
- Improved Air Quality - Many heating systems include filters that improve indoor air
quality by trapping dust, allergens, and other air pollutants
- Flexibility - Options like ductless mini-splits provide cooling solutions for homes without
existing ductwork, allowing for precise temperature control in specific areas
- Customization - Advanced controls and programmable thermostats allow for personalized
comfort settings, enhancing user experience and efficiency.
