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
In the market for a new HVAC system? Possibly you’ve heard about heat pumps. You might be wondering if they’re a good option for the Houston area climate.

At AirVanatage, we can recommend an American Standard Heat pump installation. Heat pumps are a great option because they provide Texas homeowners with the following benefits:

• They provide both heating and cooling
• They provide lower heating costs
• They’re more cost-effective to replace

So, How will you stay warm this winter?

By far… the most energy efficient way to heat your home in Southern climates is by gas furnace. The relatively low price of natural gas, its ability to heat the air effectively, and it’s abundance make it a smart choice. The modern gas furnace technology continues to improve and includes safety controls to make sure that it works safely and is engineered with safety devices that in case of failure can shut itself down.

If you have natural gas available at your home, AirVantage highly recommends that you consider a modern gas furnace. Read More about safety controls in modern gas heating systems.

The post 3 Ways To Heat Your Home appeared first on AC Repair League City TX.

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.
