Centigrade Heating and Cooling

Do you know how to select the right HVAC system for your home? First, you will need to make sure the unit is properly sized. We can provide a load calculation for your home. You will also want an energy analysis to determine operating costs, and you'll want to consider any comfort issues in the home.

The type of liquid used in the cooling coil of an air conditioning system depends on the type of system it is. Direct expansion (DX) equipment uses refrigerant as the liquid medium, although chilled water (CW) can also be used.

Would you believe that there is actually a lot of science involved in the design and function of heating and cooling systems? HVAC system design is actually a sub- discipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.

Are you concerned that it's going to cost your family a small fortune to deal with an air conditioner that's not cooling properly? Remember, the source of the issue can sometimes be as simple as a malfunctioning thermostat and not an expensive condensing coil problem.

If you are looking to install an HVAC cooling system and your home doesn't already have ducts, then you might want to consider a split ductless system. Unlike central systems, split ductless systems need no ductwork, making them less expensive to install in most cases.

The average homeowner spends about $1,000 every year on heating and cooling costs, according to the government website EnergyStar.gov. That's nearly half of the total energy bill for the average home in the country. Consult with us for the most efficient cooling system for your home.

As with any other piece of equipment around the house, your air conditioning unit will run better when it's been properly serviced. If you can't remember the last time someone inspected your unit, it may be time to give us a call.

Cooling systems working properly can filter out contaminants in your home as well as controlling the temperature.

How can mold end up inside your home? The tiny spores the mold produces can travel inside your home and end up in any area of the home. If the spores locate in an area with sufficient warmth and moisture, mold will soon appear and spread through that area.

Mold can be found everywhere. It feeds on dead and decaying matter and produces very small spores that move through the air and can reproduce in the proper conditions. Inside a home, moisture and warm temperatures are required for it to spread. Cooling systems that are not working properly can create favorable conditions for this.

Does it ever seem like one side of your home is a muggy sauna in the summer while the other side is a frigid tundra? Let's talk about what could be causing these drastic temperature differences and what can be done to regulate the temperatures in your home.
