have questions about different HVAC products?

  • The air handler is the indoor component of a heat pump system. It includes the fan and the heating/cooling coil. It’s designed for a particular refrigerant, so it must be matched with the heat pump or air conditioner.

    We offer numerous air handlers with variable and multi-speed features that can boost indoor comfort by slowly ramping up to your thermostat setting, rather than simply turning on at full speed. This alleviates the "cold air blow" often associated with single speed air handlers, and dramatically reduces system noise. Additionally, variable speed blowers use on average less than half the power of a standard blower. So you can run your circulation fan 24/7 and enjoy constant filtration and consistent temperatures, without feeling like you’re wasting power.

  • Ductless mini split systems make your home's individual rooms or other small spaces more comfortable. Remember, just like whole-home systems, the higher the SEER and HSPF ratings, the more efficient they will be.

    We offer a variety of through-the-wall packaged terminal air conditioners (PTAC) and ductless mini split heating and cooling systems to meet any individual room's needs. This could mean heating and cooling your garage and other bonus rooms that are unusable because they’re uncomfortable.

  • Today's new high-efficiency furnaces can save up to 50% in operating costs over a ten-year-old furnace. Many furnaces built in 1990 or earlier have Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings of 65% or less. The minimum AFUE rated furnace that can be sold in the United States today is 80%.

    Our current product offering starts at 80% AFUE and goes all the way to a very efficient 99% AFUE rating. Depending on your average usage, higher AFUE-rated furnaces can significantly reduce your gas bill.

    We offer many furnaces with variable and multi-speed features that can bring you ideal comfort by slowly ramping up to your thermostat setting rather than simply turning on at full speed. This means it’s much quieter, and will also alleviate the "cold air blow" often associated with single speed furnaces. Additionally, these furnaces accommodate zoning without stressing the unit.

  • The Earth absorbs almost 50% of all solar energy and remains at a constant temperature of 50°F to 70°F depending on geographical location. A geothermal unit utilizes this constant temperature for heating and cooling your home.

    You can realize up to 60% energy savings vs. traditional systems. There is no flame, no flue, no odors and no loud outdoor equipment. Heating, air conditioning and hot water can all be obtained from a single compact unit.

  • Heat pumps are excellent for your home, as they provide both heating and cooling. Heat pumps have SEER ratings like air conditioners and Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) ratings for measuring heating efficiency. Higher SEER and HSPF ratings mean greater energy savings.

    Heat pump technology continues to improve. Even if you have heat sourced from gas, a heat pump may save you a lot of money compared to an AC unit (scroll down to “hybrid heat” for more).

    Heat pumps are a very efficient alternative to electric heat. A heat pump works like an air conditioner in the summer, but it runs in reverse in the winter to heat your home. The system will be matched with a backup heating source - usually electric heat - for those really frigid winter days.

    Just like our air conditioners, many of our heat pumps have advanced features, such as multi-stage compressors and variable speed fan operation. These not only improve the comfort level of your home, but can increase energy savings as well.

  • Humidifiers work in tandem with your heating system to deliver desired humidity levels throughout your home. Maintaining proper humidity levels in your home is essential to maintaining indoor comfort during the winter months. Moderate humidity levels make you feel warmer at lower temperatures, so you can set your thermostat lower without sacrificing comfort. Additionally, humidifiers provide benefits ranging from your health and your wood floors, to antiques and musical instruments that can otherwise become damaged.

    Depending on the size of your home, we offer a variety of humidifiers to deliver the right amount of moisture into the air. Sizing of humidifiers is measured in Gallons Per Day (GPD), and we offer models from 12 GPD to 18 GPD.

  • A hybrid heat system is a heat pump coupled with a gas furnace, with special controls designed to maximize efficiency.

    With a traditional heating and cooling system, if you wanted to save more, you had to use less. But a Hybrid Heat system combines the benefits of intelligent control for both gas and electric heating to create an intuitive system that can actually react to changing conditions.

    No matter what the temperature is outside, a hybrid heat system will automatically select the fuel source most efficient for your home, which means you'll stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer and save money all year long.

    To design a Hybrid Heat system for your home, we professionally match one of our heat pump units with a natural gas furnace. Contact us to see how much energy you can save over your existing system.

  • Our complete line of packaged systems includes: packaged air conditioners, packaged gas furnaces and air conditioners, packaged heat pumps and packaged hybrid heat.

    These self-contained systems are located outside of the home, mounted on the ground or the roof, and ducted into the home.

    Just like individual furnaces, air conditioners and heat pumps, these package units carry SEER, AFUE and HSPF ratings. The higher the rating, the more energy efficient the unit is. We carry a wide offering that includes advanced features such as multi-stage compressors, variable speed fans and quiet operation.

  • Thermostats turn on heating or cooling systems to bring the home to a set temperature. In addition to basic temperature control, programmable thermostats can be used to manage the indoor environment of your home at different times of the day or week. This type of control can have a dramatic impact on the overall energy use of your home. We carry a complete line of thermostats and would love to help you choose the one that best fits your lifestyle.

    Modern thermostats do more than just turn on HVAC systems. They can monitor air quality, manage costs, focus on multiple areas of a space, run geofencing programs and much more.
