 Heating & Air
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.

Cooling Systems
 Residential
cooling systems are essential for maintaining comfortable and healthy indoor environments in your home during warmer months.
Residential cooling systems include various types of air conditioning equipment designed to lower indoor temperatures and manage humidity.
These systems can range from central units serving entire homes to individual room solutions. These systems are intended for homeowners
seeking to improve indoor comfort, particularly in climates with warm or humid conditions. They cater to different housing types and
architectural constraints, offering solutions for both small and large homes.
There is a lot of consideration that goes into buying a new air conditioner – size, features, price. But one of the most important
factors is the SEER rating. The SEER rating of a central cooling system is the system's energy
efficiency ratio,
 which
shares its maximum efficiency over a cooling season. Choosing a higher SEER cooling system will have noticeable
impact on the price you pay for your cooling system as well as the price you pay on your energy bills over the years your new
cooling system is in service.
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and it is a measure of how efficiently an
air conditioner uses the energy it consumes. In 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy changed the measure of SEER to SEER2. The new
measure of SEER 2 rating reflect a more real-world or actual conditions of installed equipment. Then in 2024, the U.S. Department
of Energy set a new minimum efficiency standard for central air conditioners. The minimum SEER2 rating is 14 SEER in northern states
and 15 SEER in southern states. The higher the SEER
 rating, the more efficient the cooling system is. Cooling systems with SEER
ratings of 16 or higher are considered high-efficiency systems. The best high-efficiency cooling systems have SEER rating of 26 or higher.
There is no "one-size-fits-all" answer when it comes to deciding on a good SEER2 rating for your home. The definition of a good
SEER2 rating depends on your personal preferences and needs. If you are looking for a high-efficiency air conditioner, then you
should look for cooling system with a SEER2 rating of 18 or higher. However, if you are more concerned with unit affordability,
then a SEER2 rating of 15-17 may be more suitable for you.
The benefits of Cooling Systems include:
 Comfort -
Maintain a consistently cool indoor environment- Energy Efficiency - Modern systems offer energy-saving features that can help reduce your cooling
costs and environmental impact
- Air Quality - Many systems include filters that help improve indoor air quality by capturing
pollutants and allergens
- Flexibility - Options like ductless mini-splits provide cooling solutions for homes without
existing ductwork, allowing for precise temperature control in specific areas
- Customization - The inclusion of programmable thermostats and advanced controls in cooling
systems allows for tailored comfort settings, enhancing both the user experience and the system's efficiency

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.
