Top Infinity System Sales

Dealer Of The Year for 2011

So here we are. 2012!! And their are some pretty neat things in the air conditioning and heating industry. The new tech fad will be WIFI enabled controls with full color hd touch screens. Ecobee has already been selling this product but it will now be sold by nearly everyone by the end of the year. The cool thing about them is you can view weather and things like that. But what will be the most useful item out of it is being able to control then temp from you smart phone. You will be able to download an app and will be able to control everything on your air conditioning and heating system with your smart phone. So for instance if you are at work and you set your temp before you left at 82 but you want it cooler before you get home you can change it on your phone. Now most controls are programmable you can already do this. But imagine you live in a two story home and you have one system and one temp control and it is located downstairs. You are lying in bed watching a movie and you feel like it is warm or to cold. Well instead of getting out of bed you can just grap your phone and turn it down or up. The other features will be if your system stops cooling or heating because of a malfunction you will be notified of this error while you are at work. That way can have an technician scheduled before you get home. As you might know, if you do not discover your system is not working until you get home in the evening getting someone scheduled in the peak of the summer to come out that night can sometimes be difficult and will cost more money. You can also have the error message be sent directly to your hvac company of choice so they will know your system is not working as soon as you know. A lot of times we can get in touch with you and get you scheduled before you have a chance to call us!! Pretty cool.

1. Make sure your filters are clean and changed regularly. I know, I know everyone says they always change their filters. Well we are out their every day and the most common reason a gas heater is not working is because of a dirty filter. When a filter gets to dirty is restricts the air flow and this cause the heater to get to hot. Their are safety limits on the gas furnaces that will trip and will not allow your furnace to turn on and heat your home.

2. Locate your vent pipe on your roof line coming from your gas furnace. Keep an eye and make sure no birds or what not are building anything around it. This obstruction will set off another safety device in the gas furnace.

3. This one is an important one. If  the heater is not working and it seems to be some kind of failure(not filter). If your furnace was built 93 or earlier then it  will have an LED light that will flash a code to let us know what is wrong with it. Their will be a chart on inside of furnace door to let you know what each code stands for. This way when you call us could be something we can walk you through on the phone to fix it so you will avoid having to pay any after hour service fees. Plus if someone does come out it takes the dishonest techs out of the equation because you are able to see your self what is wrong with it.

4. If you do not have a gas furnace but rather an Heat Pump system. Need to have your freon levels checked once a year.

Zoning your home’s air conditioning and heating systems allows the entire family to enjoy a comfortable temperature throughout the house and calendar year. With a zoned air conditioning and heating system, you can manage the temperature in each zone to remain comfortable, functional, and efficient. Areas like the kitchen, which tend to generate their own heat, can be set at cooler temperatures while bedrooms and living areas remain warmer. Unused rooms can be left at cooler or warmer temperatures, depending on the season, saving you money on energy bills.

Identify Zoning Areas: For most homes, the simplest zoning pattern sections off the bedrooms from the rest of the home. You can further zone your home by floor, wing or individual rooms, increasing your ability to regulate the temperature inside. Many homeowners find that zoned air conditioning and heating allows them to remain warm or cool at night without having to adjust the temperature throughout the rest of the home.
Find Your Comfort Zone: If one member of the family prefers to stay toasty warm while another kicks off the covers, zoning your home can help you control the temperature in different rooms and the comfort level of different family member. Rooms can be set for different temperatures, providing everyone with a comfortable space and customizable control.
Lower Utility Costs: Heating and cooling your home typically represent the biggest costs on your utility bill. Zoning your home is an energy-efficient way of keeping costs down without sacrificing comfort. By using your air conditioning and heating systems only in the areas needed, you can do your part to conserve energy and save money.

The efficiency of your home’s heating and air conditioning system depends on well-maintained air ducts. By taking care of your ducts and ensuring that they are properly sealed, you are preventing energy from being wasted through any leaks, holes or cracks that appear in ductwork. If you notice any of the following changes in your home or energy bills, contact a professional HVAC service company to help you detect a duct leak.

1. Increasing Energy Costs: If your home’s energy costs are rising, you may have a duct leak in your home. When leaks develop, your home’s air conditioning and heating systems have to work harder to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. This requires more energy, which will drive up the cost of your monthly utilities.
2. Inconsistent Temperatures: Leaks in your heating and air conditioning system can result in heated or cooled air escaping your home or into unoccupied areas like the attic, garage or crawlspace. Because of this escaped air, the temperature in your home may not reflect the temperature reading on the thermostat.
3. Humidity in the Attic: If your attic feels humid, it may indicate that your ducts are leaking warm air into the space. As temperature drop in the evening, the warm air condenses on the cool surface of your roof, resulting in a humid attic. This could eventually turn into a significant problem, as condensation can cause wood rot and mold growth over time.
4. Uneven Heating or Cooling: If there are some rooms in your home that don’t feel the same temperature as other rooms, there may be a leak in the ductwork that leads to that room. With the cooled or heated air escaping into your walls or attic, rooms aren’t heated or cooled properly and more energy and money may be wasted.
