Air Conditioner
A traditional home comfort system has two parts: an indoor unit, such as a furnace or air handler, and an outdoor unit. An air conditioner is the outdoor unit that cools air and sends it to the indoor unit for circulation through your home.
Indoor and outdoor units are designed to work together. When the air conditioner is properly matched with a furnace or air handler, you get maximum efficiency and longer system life. Cooling efficiency is measured using a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). A unit rated SEER 13 is 30% more efficient than a unit with a SEER rating of 10. As of 2006 the minimum SEER standard was raised to 13. The air conditioners we offer are available up to a highly efficient SEER 20.

Heat Pumps
A split system heat pump keeps homes comfortable all year long. In summer, it draws heat out of your home to cool it. In the winter, it draws heat from outside air into your home to warm it. Many heat pumps have a booster electrical-resistance heater that automatically heats outside air even more. Outside air always has heat in it -- even at very low outdoor temperatures. Like a central air conditioner, a heat pump includes a compressor, fan, outdoor coil, indoor coil, and a refrigerant. The efficiency of heat pumps is rated using SEER (for cooling efficiency) and HSPF (for heating efficiency). A heat pump uses electricity as its power source.

Furnace
Furnaces come typically as gas or oil powered and provide warm air in the winter. A furnace's heating ability is measured with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) percentage. As with SEER ratings for air conditioners and heat pumps, a higher AFUE percentage indicates a more efficient furnace.
We offer furnaces with an AFUE rating all the way up to an amazing 96.6 which means very efficient heating. Combine this with a heat pump, and you will experience a nice break in your winter utility bills.

Thermostats
Easily adjust the comfort level in your home, day and night, summer and winter without EVER having to hunt for the programming manual. Clear, concise voice instructions guide you through each step of the way. If you need your glasses to read your thermostat, just push a button and hear the actual and programmed air temperature. Handy in dark hallways, at night, and especially helpful for sight impaired folks.
We offer a wide range of additional thermostat options for simple heating and cooling control to advanced programming and air quality control.

Packaged Products
In a packaged system, all equipment is built into an outdoor unit, usually on a concrete slab or other platform. These systems can serve just one purpose - such as cooling - or they can offer a complete "package" by providing cooling and heating. The packaged air systems we offer come as both gas and electric.
The efficiency of packaged systems are rated using SEER (for cooling efficiency), AFUE% (for gas heating efficiency) and HSPF (for heat pump efficiency). Ductwork is required to transfer the heated or cooled air throughout the home.

Air Cleaners
The ability for filters in your HVAC system to remove particles from the air is rated using a MERV rating. MERV ratings range from 1 - 16 and are measured in microns. Many home filters in use today only have MERV ratings of 1 - 4 which means mold spores, pollen and other unpleasant particles are recycled throughout the home.
We offer enhanced air cleaners with MERV ratings as high as 15 to keep the air in your home and office clean. These air cleaners combined with UV lights can have a dramatic impact on the quality of the air you breath.

UV Lights
Reducing the pollutants in the air using an air cleaner with a high MERV rating is necessary. However air filters cannot combat chemicals, dust mites and mold alone.
Studies have shown that germicidal ultra-violet lights are effective in killing harmful bacteria while even reducing the spread of illness like smallpox, tuberculosis and measles. These lights are mounted inside your air conditioning coil to work with the air filter in providing pure air for you and your family.

Ventilators
A ventilator is like opening up the windows in your home without losing any of your heat in the winter or cool air in the summer. Ventilators are part of our recommended clean air solution as they exchange the indoor stale air with fresh air from outside. This assists in eliminating pollutants, bacteria, etc.
When fresh air is brought in from outside, the ventilator "transfers" the heating and cooling energy from the stale air to the fresh air, and then exhausts the stale air back outside.

Fan & Evaporator Coils
Fan coils heat air in your forced air heating system. Evaporator coils with the forced cooling system, condition air for circulating into your home.
One problem that has plagued air conditioning companies for a long time is coil failures due to corrosion. The coils we recommend have tin plating which allows the continued use of copper coils as they are superior for heat transfer, but the tin significantly reduces the corrosive impact of pollutants.

Standby Generator
Having a great HVAC system to keep your indoor climate perfect during the worst weather does nothing for you when the power goes out. How many other things besides temperature levels would be affected by a loss of power at your residence? Lights, refrigerated foods and alarm systems to name a few.
We offer gas line fed generator solutions that can keep you going during a power outage. Trust us - the first time your home in the only one on the block with lights on at night you'll be glad you installed a standby generator.
