Permanent air filters can reduce waste, but they need to be washed regularly to remove dust and surface contaminants. Make sure they are dry before adding them back.

Do you know how to make your air conditioner more efficient? Prevent any direct sunlight from heating up the room that the unit is in. Clean the dust filter every month or as often as it needs it, and during A/C use, try to limit using any heat generating appliances such as stoves, ovens, hair dryers, etc.

Having your commercial building lose heat in the middle of a cold winter day can create major issues with all your tenants. When you need to ensure that your building has plenty of heat to keep everyone happy, we’re always here for you.

Did you know that the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has established standards for indoor comfort conditions? For cooling systems, these are between 73 and 79 degrees Fahrenheit with approximately 50 percent relative humidity and the air moving at a velocity of 30 feet per minute or slower.

The efficiency of a given furnace is measured by its AFUE rating (annual fuel utilization efficiency). This furnace efficiency rating is simply a ratio between the amount of fuel converted to heat and the amount of fuel that enters the furnace. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the furnace.

Always remember that air conditioners are measured in BTUs. Essentially, the higher the number, the greater the cooling capacity and the larger the space it will be able to cool.

If you run your office’s heating system all the time during the colder months, you may find that it breaks down more frequently. Perhaps the best way to ensure your HVAC system can keep up with your company’s demand is to schedule your service calls like clockwork.

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.

Ductwork is the component of the HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) system that carries conditioned air, such as warm air in the colder, winter months, throughout your home. The main ductwork supply is in the ductwork trunk, which distributes the highest air volume. The side branches of this system are what enable each room to be heated.

With our indoor portable air-conditioners, you will need to position it close enough to a window so the exhaust hose has an outlet that needs to be kept straight. When we deliver, we will help you find the best location for your needs.

If parts of your building are always too hot or cold, consider switching to wireless temperature sensors. Wireless systems allow occupants to modulate the temperature in their heating zone, which increases their comfort without overworking the HVAC system.

The truth is, it's really hard to tell what state your A/C is in just by looking at it. That's why, if you really want to know, you should get a complete inspection by HVAC cooling experts. They'll make sure it's running as good as possible, and take care of any maintenance needed.

While central heating used to be only for the rich, most people today wouldn't know what to do during a cold winter without heat. The first method of central heating actually used slaves to fan furnaces to keep fires constantly burning.

Did you know that the principle behind air conditioner is based on a simple physical law? This law of physics states that, when a liquid converts to a gas in the process called "phase conversion," it absorbs heat.

While the workers in an office building can throw on jackets or sweaters, these usually leave their fingers exposed, which opens the door for typing-related injuries or lower productivity on their computers. An HVAC expert can make sure your building is warm enough to keep workers happy.

How much (or how little) humidity you have indoors can make a big difference. Too little humidity will dry out your skin, while too much will grow mildew. HVAC cooling experts use an instrument called a "hygrometer" to make sure you have the right humidity levels.

A thermistor is the resistor found inside a thermostat. The thermistor changes resistance with temperature changes, which then triggers the thermostat to make appropriate adjustments. The result is a constant and comfortable level of heat throughout your home or building.

Before AC became widespread in the US, the Northeast was an economic powerhouse. Since 1960, 60 percent of all economic growth in the country has taken place in the South. The availability of AC made year-round factory work and the ability to live in apartments possible.

In 1791, Scottish engineer and inventor James Watt took a radical step. He designed a piped-steam central heating system and had it installed in his factories. The system proved so effective, he patented the steam-heating and distribution methods that same year.

Did you know that two-thirds of all U.S. homes have air conditioners? All of these homeowners use 5% of the all the electricity produced in the U.S. and cumulatively pay a whopping total of $11 billion dollars every year to cool their homes!

The U.S. Department of Energy recognizes several different classes of heating equipment. These include central warm-air furnaces (either oil or natural gas), steam or hot water systems, and built in electric units.

The ability of your portable A/C unit to cool is measured in BTUs. This stands for British Temperature Unit, and is based on the amount of energy it takes to cool or heat one pound of water one degree Farenheit. Dealing with whole rooms, A/Cs are measured in thousands of BTUs.
