Valley Distributors, Inc.

There have been many new developments in natural gas air conditioning technology. They provide much higher levels of energy efficiency and reliability than older systems, and are now available in a variety of sizes to meet your needs.

We are available to perform emergency services twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. We know that downtime is lost revenue, so we work hard to get your system back up and running quickly.

Did you know that forced-air heating was first introduced in 1935? At the time, many furnaces used coal for fuel, but it didn't take long for gas furnaces to get introduced. They quickly caught on, since they didn't need to be "stoked" like coal furnaces.

Choosing the right HVAC equipment and having it properly installed is critical for your commercial operations, no matter what type of business you are running. It’s important that you are able to maintain a consistent and comfortable temperature for your customers, tenants, and employees.

Gas-fired air (HVAC) heating systems are simple and efficient. Since no heat exchanger is required, installation and maintenance costs are reduced. In addition, in this type of HVAC system, there are a minimal amount of carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide components present.

So why exactly is 3 phase HVAC equipment so much more efficient than single phase equipment? In this type of setup, you never completely drop voltage off during a 3-phase run cycle so that there’s always another phase to step in and keep the motor spinning more easily.

The top three most expensive household repairs include the roof, the foundation and the heating and air-conditioning system. Let a heating and air-conditioning expert find problems before they become serious - and costly.

Sudden and unusual sounds may indicate that there is a problem with your furnace. Many such sounds are due to slipping fan motor belts or fan parts that need lubrication. A grinding noise may indicate that the blower’s bearings are shot and need to be replaced.

Do you want to avoid issues with mold and mildew in your bathroom? Ask an HVAC professional about installing a bathroom fan, since doing so can remove excess moisture from your bathroom.

The hot-air scientific principles defined by Dr. Paul Meissner in 1821 provided the foundations for modern heating systems. He was among the first to recommend mixing dampers to control air flow and recirculating cool air back to the furnace where it could be reheated.

Changing a few personal habits will save you energy dollars. Here's a great example: If you dial back your HVAC system 15 percent while you're at work (roughly 8 hours a day) you'll save about 10 percent on your heating and cooling costs annually. It's a painless way to save.

Since 1960, 60 percent of all economic growth in the country has taken place in the South, which air conditioning is credited for. Demographers agree that the population explosions in places like Arizona, Las Vegas, Florida, and Texas can be directly attributed to air conditioning.

There as basically 2 types of forced air gas furnaces. Packaged systems contain the heating and cooling components within a single unit, whereas split systems keep the heating and cooling units separate, often in different parts of the house.

Have your workers started complaining about severe temperature differences in different rooms in the building? It might be time to have us come out. Sometimes, it’s a simple matter of changing the way your HVAC system is dampered.

Residential gas-fired air conditioners are small absorption chillers. These use a refrigerant, absorbent and heat to create a cooling effect. In other words, the cooling effect is created by the removal of heat through evaporation of a fluid at a low pressure.

We not only install and repair your HVAC system, but we handle the management of your energy systems, constantly searching for ways to be more energy-efficient and to save you money on heating and cooling costs.

The first working gas furnace using the regenerative principle was devised in 1861 by Sir William Siemens and his brother Friedrich. By 1866, this new gas furnace was put to work on a large scale, where it was used to produce molten steel.

In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Clean Air Act. It established guidelines for the safe handling of refrigerant gasses. The EPA estimates that 700,000 cases of chronic bronchitis and 200,000 premature deaths have been avoided since the enactment of the Clean Air Act.

Did you realize that your HVAC system is vulnerable to energy spikes and lightning strikes? One way to make sure it's protected is with a whole-home surge suppressor, a larger version of the outlet variety you use with your electronic equipment.

We recognize that certain industries can have more exacting standards when it comes to air handling and cooling. Let’s talk about the nature of your business and what allowances may be necessary when we install your HVAC system.

Although you may be quite handy around the house, it's often a good idea not to attempt repairs on your cooling and heating units. Doing so could to lead to more costly repairs and affect the validity of your warranty.

We install digital control systems for your HVAC system that allows us to program the system. We will find out times when the building is at its lowest use and adjust the cooling and heating accordingly. That can save significantly on your utility bill.

Whether you own a medical laboratory or an auto shop, you may worry about the health and safety of employees constantly exposed to fumes. In many cases, you can mitigate their risks by taking the proper safety precautions, including installing the right ventilation system.

Thank goodness, times have changed: “Though much has been done by ingenious men in the art of distributing heat for household uses, it must be confessed, that in one or two instances, only have they been able to make a permanent impression …” (Walter Bernan, 1845)

Replacing an old, inefficient HVAC system does not have to be a financial burden. It could be your company’s chance to cut energy costs. HVAC engineers have a much better understanding now of heating and cooling demands on commercial buildings, and newer designs waste less energy.

Most experts recommend that you think about annual servicing of your furnace and air conditioning system in the same way you consider changing the oil in the car. With this type of maintenance, you can keep components working at their best and extend the life of your entire system.

Modern cooling refrigerants help the environment, by eliminating the release of chlorofluorocarbons into the air. Chlorofluorocarbon is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine, hydrogen and fluorine, that all produce a volatile derivative of methane, which is damaging to the Ozone.

It’s important to remember that older HVAC systems won’t run as efficiently as newer models. Not only will you spend less on monthly heating and cooling costs, you’ll also spend less on repair costs.

Do you ever worry that your employees will get sick when forced to work without air conditioning during the hottest part of the summer? When you need your company’s AC fixed ASAP, give us a call.

While replacing an HVAC system can be expensive, it may not cost as much as you think. When you consider the money you’ll be saving to power a more efficient system, your savings could quickly offset your expense.
