Some furnaces and air conditioners offer other features that provide greater comfort. Two-stage
units can run on low speed up to 80% of the time, and offer fewer drafts, smaller temperature swings, and better air circulation for more consistent heating or cooling throughout your home. Better air circulation helps prevent air "stratification" - warm air rising to the ceiling and cold air settling on the floor. In short, you get consistent, even heat throughout your home.
Variable-capacity furnaces provide even more added comfort features for the ultimate combination of comfort, efficiency and quiet performance. They can also increase the efficiency rating of your central air conditioning system and offer you added energy saving when you use continuous fan mode in any season.
Zoning Systems are another feature that saves energy. A zoning system is the perfect solution. By putting heating and cooling where you need it most, zoning can improve overall comfort and decrease utility costs by as much as 30% or More.
Electronic Air Purifiers help eliminate the dust and pollutants that circulate throughout your home by as much as 99%. Today’s electronic air purifiers (EAC) are designed to be trouble-free, low-maintenance cleaning and make your home a healthier place to live.
Ultraviolet Light Systems will kill most germs before they re-circulate; they prevent mold spores known as allergen from growing on your system’s cooling coils. Mounted in the ductwork of your heating and cooling system, the Ultraviolet Light System continuously emits ultraviolet (UV) energy that kills a high percentage of airborne bacteria passing by the light. Mounted above your central air conditioner’s cooling coil, the ultraviolet light continuously bathes cooling system components with mold-stopping UV energy. This technology has been used in water treatment for years – now available for home use.
Thermostats help your heating and cooling equipment maintain the optimal temperature setting with the highest energy efficiency. Today’s thermostats allow you to program your home to your lifestyle, so you can keep things comfortable while you’re home, at work, sleeping or away. You can set the thermostat temperatures for each day of the week or different times in the day. You don’t have to remember to turn it up or down. You program it once and it will remember for you. We recommend that you purchase a thermostat that can run as either a programmable or non-programmable thermostat.
Humidifiers help during the winter months. The warm, dry air from your furnace can damage wood moldings and furniture and remove your skins natural moisture. Humidifiers add humidity to your home creating a healthier and warmer place to live. Just like in the summer, humidity makes you feel warmer, so by adding humidity to your home in the winter, your house will feel warmer. You can actually set your thermostat a few degrees lower and save more on your utility bills.
