Natural Gas Furnace
Natural gas is the most inexpensive fossil fuel available, which can make a difference in your monthly energy bills. It’s Clean-burning  & is the most efficient-burning fuel around, so there is little-to-no soot or other type of mess created by natural gas.

Natural gas furnaces have a long use expectancy and can last more than 30 years. We like natural gas heating systems because the average life of a furnace is around 15 to 30 years and are energy efficient. Call AirVantage to set up a regular system check up and your system should easily last over 15 years.

Electric Heating System
The benefits of an electric furnace are 1) they heat the house quicker than gas and oil furnaces. 2) Popular opinion believes because of the absence of combustion they are safer and environmentally friendly. 3) Electric furnaces make very little noise too.

An electric furnace also costs a lot less than gas and other types of furnaces. They have a long lifespan of 20 to 30 years. The price along with their lifespan makes them very affordable.

Heat Pump Systems

Without the constant whish of air being magically blown from our air registers, we would find it really hard to perform normal household tasks during much of the year… especially during the summer.

When your AC unit is on the fritz & doesn’t work normally, you’ll notice less cooling and possibly, a higher energy bill because it simply takes more energy to operate. And more than likely, it can lead to additional problems and expense.

Air conditioner problems usually lead to a Google search for a local AC Repair company. Before choosing the 1st AC Service Company you see, you should look for the 5 Qualities Your League City AC Repair Service Must Have.

In past Cool News newsletter articles, we’ve given tips on how to diagnose some issues. If you’re thinking… “I’ll just do the repairs myself” we want to caution you that you may end up causing additional damage to your system.

This is why we suggest that you reconsider, and call an experienced Air Conditioning repair company that can properly diagnose and fix your ac system problems the first visit.

However, before randomly choosing an AC service professional, AirVantage suggests that you consider the following:

Search for a company with these Five Qualities Your AC Repair Service Must Have…

Certification

No 1 is you should always to look for a certified professional. Certified companies have professionally trained technicians. So, make sure you choose a company that owns a license. Licensed companies have certified techs that are trained to do all AC repairs. You can’t expect quality service from a non-licensed company.

Experience

Like choosing a doctor, CPA, Financial planner, etc., when making a decision on a AC Service Company, you need to check the experience of the service company. For instance, you can find out how long the company has been in business as you’ll get a pretty good idea of the reliability of the company.

In addition to experience, employee qualifications matter as well. If they are not qualified, most likely they won’t be able to do their job to your satisfaction.

Customer Care Services

One important quality to keep in mind is how past and current customers rate the customer care of the company. There are a number of ways to do this like checking the reputation of providers you’re considering. For instance, you can type the company’s name into a search engine and check their reviews. Additionally; how was your initial call or inquiry handled? Was the staff polite and courteous? If you speak to the owner or a tech, your questions should be answered clearly and without hesitation.

You should be able to contact them any time. After all, their attitude should be understanding and respectful towards their customers.

How Much Does AC Service Cost?

We all have our budgets but, you shouldn’t necessarily just go for the lower price. As in the paragraph above, when speaking with the owner or service tech, ask why they are so much lower. You should expect to get a concise knowledgeable answer. It’s always a good idea to consider your budget, but the cheapest service may not offer the best warranty or customer service.

Availability and Reliability

Making sure your ac service company is responsive to your emails, texts and calls is another important quality you should demand when researching League City AC Repair companies. Any company worth considering should answer your emails and calls within a couple of hours.

Long story short, if your air conditioning system is down you need certified responsive help fast.

When People Think About Cooling… What Are they Really Talking About?

Cooling, referred to air conditioning by many, is most likelythe most important thing people think about when it comes to being comfortable. That’s no surprise since summertime utility expenses are often comprised of 60 to 65% of your monthly cooling costs. For that reason a homeowner should carefully consider purchasing the most efficient air conditioning system that is within their budget.

Is Financing Available For New HVAC Systems?

Yes… AirVantage works through Wells Fargo and this is where considering financing instead of tapping a saving account, makes real sense. Consider an investment of a high efficiency air conditioning system; it may be more advantageous due to the energy savings that can offset the interest costs.

How Does My Air Conditioning System Work?

The cooling operation is achieved by means of the outdoor unit. That odd box in your backyard with all the fins removes heat from the home in conjunction with the indoor cooling coil.

Evidence of effective heat removal can be felt at the outdoor unit. If you’ve ever put your hand over the top of the outdoor unit when it is operating the air feels quite warm. That’s the heat being removed from the refrigerant which is circulated through your indoor coil.

If I Have Allergies What Can You Suggest To Filter Pollen & Pollutants?

AirVantage recommends the American Standard AccuClean Whole-Home Air Filtration System. Superior filtration of allergens in your home; Clean air for you and your family … to .1 micron in size; Eight times more effective than the best HEPA room appliance … Warranties are for residential use only, some exclusions may apply.

SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS

• Catches particles down to .1 micron in size
• Eight times more effective than the best HEPA room appliance
• 100 times more effective than a standard one-inch throwaway filter or ionic-type room appliance

Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP)  systems save energy by using the constant temperature of the ground to increase the seasonal efficiency of home heating. These installations can be some of highest of High Efficiency A/C and Heating Systems for your home or office.

One way to improve High Efficiency A/C and Heating is to move heat from or to a consistent temperature controlled source such as underground. This can be done in variety of ways. In AirVantage’s opinion, the best way is by means of an underground closed loop of water or water/anti-freeze mix, a circulating pump and a liquid to refrigerant heat exchanger. For most part, the remainder of the system functions the same as any standard heat pump system.

It Works Like This…

Underground temperatures remain consistent while above ground temperatures vary greatly with the different seasons.

The summer outdoor high temperatures cause our High Efficiency A/C and Heating systems to struggle to relieve heat. While our cold winters can cause our heat pump systems to struggle to get heat out of the outdoor air. This can less of a concern due to our mild winter seasons in the Gulf Coast area as the ground source heat pump overcomes these difficulties because of the consistent under ground temperature.

You might be thinking… “Why aren’t ground source High Efficiency A/C and Heating systems more popular if they are so efficient?”

Good Question. The most common reason geothermal or, ground source heat pump system aren’t seen more often is they are more expensive and require a substantial initial investment.  Why?  The installation work involves digging or drilling holes into the ground to install the the closed loop needed to transfer heat to and from the ground.

The number and depth of boreholes will be dictated by the size of the heat pump and the geology. For instance, a 8kW heat pump is likely to need at least three boreholes 210′ to 300′ deep (or two slightly deeper boreholes).

The good news is…

…in many cases your ground source heat pump initial investment is recovered over time in the form of energy savings. An added benefit currently is the energy tax credit offered by the government for systems the meet qualified regulations.

What Can A Ground Source Heat Pump System Cost?

Geothermal heating system prices vary depending on the type of loop system, usually either vertical or horizontal and soil conditions. On average, a typical home of 2500 square feet, with a heating load of 60,000 BTU and a cooling load of 60,000 BTU could cost between $20,000 to $25,000 to install. It’s a big investment, we know… however, if you plan on building a legacy style home, a GSHP system can easily pay for itself in a relatively short time.
