Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. Appliances such as your furnace, space heater, water heater, stove, charcoal grill or gas dryer can be sources of carbon mo oxide, especially if they are not in proper working condition,…
Yes. Carbon monoxide can cause serious health problems and possibly death.
Plants probably should not be closer than 18 or more inches. Air conditioners need air circulation to operate efficiently. If air cannot circulate, the unit could build up heat and wear out. Also, when the unit needs normal maintenance, plantings closer than 18 inches make it difficult to service.
There are advantages. One is full-time filtering. Another is that you can maintain a more even temperature in your home.
Dirty filters should be replaced to prevent equipment from working harder, resulting in energy waste and possibly causing damage to your unit. Filters should generally be replaced every month when the system is running. Filters should be replaced with the same kind and size as your original filter. If the…
Zoned systems eliminate “hot and cold spots” and can help save energy. Your house is split into areas with common heating and cooling requirements, and every “zone” is under the control of its own thermostat. Each zone is heated or cooled independently of other zones. Zoning can reduce energy bills…
With proper maintenance, industry averages suggest that an air conditioner should last 12-15 years (high humidity/salt air applications may be less than that) and a gas furnace should last as long as 20 or 25 years.
When replacing your air conditioner or heat pump the answer is probably yes. Efficiency ratings are based on a matched system. If only the outdoor portion is changed the efficiency could be lowered and therefore your savings could be less.
Make sure the unit that you select is the correct size for your needs. Systems that are too large or too small can be inefficient. We would be pleased to provide an energy analysis to show you the true operating cost. We will help you understand your options. You should…
You should consider replacing your system if it is old, and therefore less efficient, or if it might need repair in the near future. Systems today can be 60% more efficient than systems built as little as 10 years ago. Normal wear and tear can reduce the efficiency of your…
