A Bear Heating & Air Conditioning

A key part of any HVAC system is the ventilation system, which can be very complicated in a commercial installation. HVAC installation experts can carefully plan the ductwork, and then handle every aspect of installation, including covering all of the supports.

Have you ever thought about how important air conditioning is too certain industries? Without it, many things would be impossible, including the manufacturing of computers, the production, delivery, and storage of food, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and chemical manufacturing.

Did you know that energy use for heating and air conditioning accounts for more than 25 percent of the primary energy consumed in commercial buildings in the United States? This is why it’s so important to have the most efficient system possible installed.

New HVAC systems are safer than ever before, in part because they no longer contain Freon. Beginning in the 1980s, researchers discovered that the chlorine in Freon could negatively impact the ozone layer in the atmosphere.

So how do sealed combustion gas furnaces work? Here, air is brought into the furnace from the outdoors, eliminating indoor air from the combustion process and reducing the loss of the air in the house that has already been warmed.

Are you worried that your HVAC system is on its last leg? Having your system checked out could give you a better guess as to when it will go out for good; and possibly give you some time to save for a replacement.

If you have a fireplace, it may actually be costing you energy dollars. Some fireplace designs produce convection currents when you start a crackling fire. These currents can draw the warm air up and out of your home.

Gas air-conditioning units are a better choice to electric systems for three important reasons: Natural gas is more efficient, it produces fewer emissions than does electricity, and natural gas is less expensive than electricity.

It’s important to remember that a boiler can be a complex piece of heating equipment. If you suspect that the issues keeping your building properly heated stem from a problem with the boiler, always remember to call in a qualified professional to handle the repairs.

One benefit of investing in a gas-powered heating system is that these systems are built to last. In fact, the life expectancy of a gas furnace is two times that of an electric heat pump.

You can control your energy costs by automating your commercial HVAC system with an energy management system. The system also is known as a "building automation system," and may integrate other building services, such as security and fire prevention.

Did you know that hiring a heating and air conditioning contractor to inspect your HVAC system once per year is a great way to reduce your electricity bills? A professional can inspect your system to make sure everything is running as efficiently as possible.

Do you ever worry that your employees are fiddling with the thermostat before they’ve really given the system a chance to cool down? Let’s talk because we may have options that give you more control.

The precise size of the air conditioner you need is based on a variety of factors, including the general size of the space needing to be cooled, any machines that will be used, and the average number of people that will be in the building at any given time.

The invention of central heating systems is often credited to the Ancient Romans. They installed systems of air ducts called hypocausts in the walls and floors of public baths and private villas.

Terminal units provide local control of airflow in large central air conditioning systems. The majority of terminal units in commercial HVAC systems are used for air volume control and also have reheat coils.

We understand that many homeowners are looking for ways to cut back their monthly expenses. Let’s talk about all the ways switching from oil or electric to natural gas could yield significant savings.

You may think you're running core business the energy-smart way, but what about your facility costs? Did you realize that adding drapes, shades, or solar screens to windows on the east and west sides of your building will help keep interior spaces cooler on hot days and warmer on cold days?

Does it ever annoy you how high your electricity bill still is when using oil was supposed to help you save money? Since oil HVAC systems require electricity to operate, that system could be costing your $100 to operate each year.

If you purchased your HVAC system before 2010, you may want to consider replacing the unit before 2020. Before 2010 most HVAC systems used the refrigerant Freon. However, Freon is dangerous to the environment and will not be available after 2020.

Have you ever heard of chlorofluorocarbons? They are an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine, hydrogen and fluorine, that all produce a volatile derivative of methane, which damages the Ozone. Modern cooling refrigerants eliminate the release of this compound.

Because of bacteria, viruses, mold spores, pet dander, and other contaminants, the Environmental Protection Agency says the air inside our homes and office is as much as 5 times more contaminated than the outside air is.

When it comes to air conditioning units, there are several factors that can impact their efficiency. This includes improper unit location, lack of insulation, and improper duct installation.

Depending on your preferences, we can provide regular service and maintenance plans to take care of your HVAC systems. We will schedule regular visits to inspect the units and to diagnose and correct any problems before or as they occur.

If you want to avoid unexpected equipment failures, it’s important to let a professional perform regular maintenance on your system. The earlier we catch a problem, the easier it will be to fix.

In case of power outages, having a gas source will help you stay warm and allow you to prepare meals. Gas is supplied through pipelines and therefore is unaffected by electric power cuts. In this way, gas is the safer option.

A major part of annual air conditioning servicing involves cleaning the unit to ensure efficient operation. This includes cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils, as well as blower components.

The invention and application of air conditioning has not only made inhabitable places habitable, it is responsible for economies, population growth, productivity, and many other facets of our lives and the world as we know it.

Have you been hesitant to install a new HVAC system in your building because of the complicated nature of your building’s layout? No matter what challenges your building creates, we’re always up to the challenge of installing your new system.
