  Ductless Repair and Installation

  What is a Ductless System? A ductless system works by utilizing a condenser unit outside and an air-handling unit inside. The condenser cools the refrigerant, which is then pumped into the air handlers through a small line that runs along your home’s exterior wall. The air handlers are usually mounted in the floor, in the ceiling, and on the wall. You’re able to control the temperature on each air-handling unit as opposed to a central household thermostat that a traditional system would have. Long-term Savings and Duct-Free Installations: Many people who consider transitioning to a ductless air conditioning system worry about the costs involved with duct-free installation and maintenance. Although ductless systems cost slightly more than traditional air conditioners, keep in mind that they provide long-term savings because of reduction in energy consumption you experience. In addition, ductless systems are designed to withstand the test of time. In most cases, this means you’ll be able to use a ductless system longer than a traditional one, without many ductless repairs to worry about as the system ages.

And we’ve been perfecting his idea ever since—while enjoying the occasional piece of toast. Ask your Carrier® expert about the 2015 energy efficiency standards to ensure your new air conditioner meets government regulations for your area. Visit our site or call for all available products!

  Carrier Heat Pumps

  Heating, cooling, and dehumidifying, heat pumps have it all. Except, perhaps, a name that does their versatility justice. The Infinity series heat pump with Greenspeed intelligence is the first of its kind. No other ducted, air source heat pump can beat its 13 HSPF rating for heating efficiency. It's a winner too, when it comes to cooling. But perhaps the biggest story is what it can do for your home comfort. Greenspeed intelligence is created by pairing adaptable-speed technology with our Infinity control's intelligence. The unique, variable-speed compressor of this unit, when managed by the Infinity control as part of a complete Infinity system, allows it to literally adapt its output to the needs of the home. With infinite adjustments between 40 and 100% capacity, it gives the home only the amount of cooling or heating necessary. This allows the system to operate longer at steadier, lower capacities, which ensures incredible energy efficiency and quiet operation with tighter temperature control than standard systems.

  Ceiling Fan Direction Can Impact Your Comfort and Utility Bills

  It’s often the simple things that can make a difference to your home’s comfort and efficiency, like ceiling fan direction, for instance. When you install a ceiling fan with a reverse switch, you can save money on your utility bills without diminishing your home’s comfort with just a flip of the switch, winter or summer. Here’s how. Counterclockwise or Clockwise? If you have a fan with a reverse switch, fan blades should run counterclockwise in the summer. The blades will create a breeze that will reach the home’s occupants at floor level. As humans perspire, the sweat on the skin evaporates. Any passing breeze creates the wind chill effect, causing us to feel cooler even when the temperature remains the same. This allows the homeowner to keep the thermostat a few degrees higher than would otherwise be comfortable, thus saving money on the utility bill. Reverse the blades in the winter to run clockwise, and they will lift up dense, cool air that has sunk to floor level. Lighter, warmer air produced by the furnace that would otherwise hover at ceiling level will be pushed to the walls, where it will then slide down and reach individuals in the room. This will allow them to feel warmer without the need for turning up the thermostat. Choosing a Fan Ceiling fans are relatively inexpensive and easily installed. Make sure yours has a reverse switch. Choose a fan that’s the right height for the room. In rooms with low ceilings, you’ll need a fan that’s flush-mounted. You may need an extension rod for fans installed in rooms with high ceilings. Likewise, consider fan blade length carefully, as well as control options, such as a remote, wall switch or pull chain. For more on ceiling fan direction, or to find out about Herchenbach Mechanical’s heating and cooling solutions, call us today at (847) 752-5775.
