efficient features while overlooking the biggest
energy waste of all - leaking ductwork in
forced-air heating and air conditioning systems.
While the increase in energy costs is
significant, protecting health and safety is the
most important reason to seal ducts. Click

Heat Pumps
are used in climates with moderate heating and
cooling needs and are ideally suited for such
regions as Piedmont North Carolina, especially
the counties of Union, Mecklenburg and Cabarrus,
located midway between the blistering heat of
south Florida and the sub-freezing winters of
faraway Maine. The heat pump offers an
energy-efficient alternative to conventional
fuel-fired furnaces and unattached central air
conditioning systems or unattached air
conditioning window units. Read More... |

Gas Furnaces
with Cracked Heat Exchangers Can Be Lethal!
If a crack develops in the heat exchanger of
your natural gas or propane gas furnace, there
is a potential for carbon monoxide gas to leak
over to the supply side and be circulated
throughout your home. Carbon monoxide gas is a
silent killer - it is odorless and invisible.
If your home is equipped with a gas furnace more
than ten years old, it needs to be checked for
cracks and rust holes in the heat exchanger. |

Dirty
Evaporator Coils
Evaporator coils are inside the
house. They are usually hidden away inside an air handler cabinet or
plenum, which may be further concealed inside a closet, attic, or
crawl space. Evaporator coils are not all that hard to clean,
just hard to find in most cases. Click on the GO button to

Air
Conditioning: Heat, Humidity and the Importance
of Proper Sizing
Under certain conditions, a
thermostat can be a misleading indication of comfort
level – your eyes are telling you one thing while your
body is telling you something quite different. “It’s
70°
in here and I’m burning up!” That’s because a thermostat
(thermometer) is a device for measuring temperature
only. However, your body is responding to the heat
index (HI), a combination of temperature and relative
humidity. |

Air Duct
Cleaning: Most people are now aware that
indoor air pollution is an issue of growing
concern and increased visibility. Many companies
are marketing products and services intended to
improve the quality of your indoor air. You have
probably seen an advertisement, received a
coupon in the mail, or been approached directly
by a company offering to clean your air ducts.

Refilling
Refrigerant and Refrigerant Sealants:
Refrigerant is
hermetically sealed within an air conditioner or heat
pump where it is “used” to move heat. It is not burned,
digested, devoured,
dissipated or consumed. As long as the HVAC
lines remain sealed – refrigerant should stay there
forever. If your HVAC system is
in need of recharging or refilling – there’s a leak!
Simply recharging the unit with refrigerant is no
different than adding air to an automobile tire that
goes flat every two-hundred miles. Adding sealant
is harmful to the unit and potentially
dangerous. Read more! |

Online Want Ad Shopper - BE AWARE!
Even the most
energy-efficient heating and cooling system
will fail to save you money if it is
installed incorrectly or improperly
adjusted. Avoid making your decision solely
on the basis of price. The quality of the
installation should be your highest
priority, because it's installation, not brand name, that will determine
energy cost, comfort, and durability.

Defeating
SPRINGTIME and SUMMER ALLERGIES with
AIR
CONDITIONING
Spring flowers may be beautiful, but for many
they bring sneezes and headaches. Although you
cannot control the weather outside, there is a
lot you can do to make the air inside your home
clean, cool and comfortable. Putting a little
extra thought into your cooling system in the
springtime can pay off big by keeping dust,
pollen and other allergens at
bay and possibly saving you money in the process. |

HEATING and
AIR CONDITIONING for MANUFACTURED HOMES
The design and construction of central heating
and cooling systems used in manufactured homes
is decidedly different from that found in most
stick-built houses. For that reason, it's
important to contact a professional who has a
thorough working knowledge of those differences.

mobile homes, triple-wide mobile
homes and immovable modular homes. |

AIR
CONDITIONING TIPS for
Lowering Your Summertime Energy Bills

more energy and drains more energy dollars than
any other system in your home. Typically, 45% of
your utility bill each month goes for cooling
your home. There are a multitude of
cost-free things you can do this summer to cool
your home efficiently and cost-effectively.

HEATING
and AIR CONDITIONING:
Do I Repair or Do
I Replace My Heat Pump?
Repairing an existing air conditioning
system may be the least expensive option at the
time, but it may cost you more in the long run.
If your air conditioning unit is more than 10
years old, there is a high probability that it
is not SEER rated. And, if it's a few years
old, it's probably rated at SEER 9 or SEER10.

purchases made through online auction sites at

truck salvage or previously owned refurbished

AIR
CONDITIONING:
IS IT YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY?
Probably not but it's still a
good idea and it'll
be an even better idea when you walk inside your
nice air conditioned home at the end of a hot
steamy day, kick off your shoes and breathe that
great big sigh of relief.
In the
Work Place,
research has proven time and time again that
temperature directly affects productivity. As
the temperature rises, performance drops.
On the Home Front,
children are more prone to complete homework
assignments and produce much better grades in a
comfortable environment so, all around, it's
just a really good idea... |
