To help you better understand the concept of air conditioning, the following article will outline some different types of air conditioning units that are common. Reading this will help you make the best decision possible before investing in an air conditioning unit.Unlike heating, which is a rather simple and straightforward process, air-conditioning is slightly more complicated. The process of cooling air involves taking the heat away. There are a few different ways to do this, which is why there are so many different makes, models and styles of air conditioners on the marker. It is most common for air conditioners to cool air through the process of a compression cycle which transfers heat from inside the home to outside of it.

Types of Air Conditioning Units
The most common types of air conditioning unit that employs this technique of cooling air are central air conditioner and heat pump units. These types of A/C units are best for those who have a large home with many rooms that need to be cooled. These are designed to push the cold air through a ventilation system that goes throughout the entire home or office into multiple rooms through ventilation ducts in the walls and floors. This type of A/C goes hand-in-hand with a furnace, which reverses the cycle during cooler months that demand the home to be heated rather than cooled.

These types of A/C units are very energy efficient, and often come with energy saving capabilities to maximize efficiency and minimize electricity costs. Another bonus is that they often last longer, and the system doubles as a heater during the colder months, so you won’t have to install so many different units in your home.

For customers who have smaller scale needs, a single room air conditioning unit is another option. These are typically found in apartment buildings, and are often attached to the room which is cooled via a window or slot that the unit fits directly into. The upside to this type of unit is that one individual unit is less expensive than installing a multi-room furnace system. A downside is that it is not the most efficient way to cool many rooms at once, since you will have to purchase and install multiple units.

These are just a few examples of the popular air conditioners that are available on the market today. To find out more, or learn about different styles, call us and speak with one of our friendly HVAC experts. They will help you find the perfect A/C unit for your needs!

At Dan Curtis Heating Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we know that there is nothing worse than being unexpectedly stuck without a working furnace during cold winter months. As families and business owners, we have come to rely and depend on our furnaces to provide us with the heat that we so desperately need in our living spaces. When your furnace suddenly breaks down, you are left vulnerable and in an unexpected emergency situation that could potentially cost you hundreds of dollars you did not budget for. That is where we come in. Dan Curtis Heating Air Conditioning & Plumbing is a leading expert of furnace installation and repair. We have served our customers for many years and continue to provide fair, honest and high-quality service to this day. We are passionate about ensuring that our customers are being kept warm throughout the winter months, and cool during the summer.

We believe in sharing our knowledge and expertise with our clients so that they are able to accurately diagnose problems before they even happen. We always recommend to have your furnace inspected every year, however the following are some tips that you can easily employ at home to avoid having to sleep through unexpected cold nights before realizing your furnace needs repair.

Check for excessive dust.
If you see a lot of extra dust gathering outside of the vents of your furnace, this could be a sign that the filters need changing or that there is a larger problem with the furnace not being able to filter the air properly. If you notice this, check to see if the filters need cleaning and call an expert to accurately diagnose the problem.

Notice any unusually high electric bills.
Heating costs that are substantially higher than usual could be a sign that there is something wrong with your furnace. If you notice an unexplained fluctuation in your heating bill, contact a professional to inspect the issue.

Listen for any loud or unusual noises.
It is common for any furnace to make the odd sound here and there, but it is not normal for the furnace to rattle or make very loud noises. If yours is being particularly vocal, call a professional to determine if a part has gone loose inside the unit, or if any machinery needs to be tuned up.

Consider your furnace’s age.
It’s common sense that the older the piece of mechanical equipment, the higher the chances that it may need to be repaired or even replaced. If your furnace is more than 15 years old, consider calling a professional furnace expert to take a look at it. This may save you an unexpected night without heating or potentially costly emergency repairs.

Keeping some of these basic ideas in mind when it comes to your furnace will help you prevent any unexpected hassles this coming winter. Remember to have your furnace checked at least once a year and to keep an eye on these small details to stay warm all winter long!

When it comes to heating and cooling, the main difference between a commercial space and a residential space is their actual demands. In a residential space, it is often enough to have just one thermostat to communicate with the furnace to heat the whole house. The thermostat is usually placed in a neutral room to determine the average temperature in the home. If things get too cold, the furnace heats up. If things get too warm, the air gets cooled down. Unlike a residential space, a commercial space has many more rooms, each with its own unique set of demands, or in HVAC terms, “load”. For example, a room with many people and machinery produces a heavy “load” and therefore has a unique set of HVAC needs. Whereas there could be a space in the same building that needs a complete opposite temperature. That is why commercial HVAC produces a unique set of demands that have to be met with creative solutions. At Dan Curtis Heating Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we are always up for the challenge of coming up with unique solutions that are completed on time and within budget for each and every one of our clients.

Heating and cooling your home accounts for over 50% of your average monthly bill. That is why it is important to think wisely about which type of heater to purchase when upgrading or installing a new heater. A heat pump heater is a very popular and energy efficient heating solution that is available on the market today. There are certain features which make heat pump heaters a very attractive prospect for home and business owners. This article will outline some of those features so that you can learn more about heat pump heaters and begin to decide if it is the right choice for you.

What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a heating and cooling system that uses electricity efficiently to heat and cool a home. Rather than generating heat, a heat pump will transfer heat from one space to another. This concept of transferring heat rather then generating it uses less electrical output and saves money on your electrical bill. An outdoor unit which contains a compressor and condenser takes heat from inside your home and transfers it outside during the warmer months of the year. During the colder months, the exact opposite process occurs. The unit extracts heat from the ground or air surrounding the outside of the home and moves it indoors. In cold to moderately cold climates, there is still enough heat in the air to be condensed and heat a home.

Quick and Easy Heat Pump Installation
Ductless heat pumps are extremely easy to install. They are perfect for wide open spaces and hard to reach places such as basements, attics and lofts. Many clients wonder if a large unit has to be installed in every room in order to heat the whole house. This is not necessary. With so many options on the market today, it is possible to merge ductless systems with small ducts that can be easily installed to transfer heat from room to room. At Dan Curtis Heating Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we always make sure that our work is hidden and discreet so that the style of your home or business is not compromised. We strive to provide a reliable heating and cooling source that isn’t an eyesore so that you can enjoy your space the way you envision it to be.

Full-Service Inspections
Before installing any equipment, our team of dedicated professionals will perform a full-scale heat load calculation measurement to ensure that the system being installed is the ideal size for the space which needs to be heated. We never rush any of our installations because we want to ensure that we are outfitting your home with the ideal unit to save you any hassles and replacements down the line. We install our equipment in a way that allows for easy access and repairs, should you need them.

Trust the HVAC Maintenance Professionals
We always recommend that a professional HVAC specialist do the maintenance for your unit, however, there are some easy steps you can take at home to compliment your professional HVAC maintenance service.

Change filters often. A filter that is full of dirt and debris causes your HVAC system to work harder to move air, therefore raising your energy bill. A clean filter allows air to pass through easily, meaning your system will not need to over exhaust itself. It is recommended by energy star to change your home filter every three months or so. A clean filter also means less allergens in the air, which equals healthy air!

Use your senses to spot any unusual sounds, smells or fluctuations in temperature.
