The Basics of Heating and Air Conditioning:
General Heating System Information:
A residential furnace or boiler keeps your home warm during the cold months.
A furnace provides hot air heat through a ductwork system with registers and grilles. It can be an integral part of a central air conditioning system and/or an indoor air quality system.The basic components of a furnace system are:
- A burner, through which gas (natural or propane) or oil is delivered and burned
- A heat exchanger, where the heat produced from the burning fuel is transferred to the air distribution system
- A blower
- Ductwork to transfer the heated air throughout the home
- A flue or vent pipe, to exhaust byproducts of combustion (such as water vapor and carbon monoxide) to the outside
An electricity source is required to run the control systems, the blower, and some accessories.
The efficiency of a furnace is rated using a percent of AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency).
Our York condensing hot air furnaces offer the highest efficiencies available on the market today. All of our condensing gas furnaces are at least 95% efficient, with one heater achieving 98% efficiency. Our York non-condensing gas furnaces achieve 80% efficiency. Condensing gas furnaces are power-vented and do not require chimneys. Non-condensing gas furnaces are not power-vented and require a chimney.
Our Armstrong oil furnaces achieve 83% efficiency.A boiler provides hot water heat through a piping system which may also include radiators or baseboards.
The basic components of a boiler system are:
- A cast-iron block,
- A circulator and piping to move the water throughout the home
- Radiators or baseboards to disperse the heat in individual rooms
- A flue or vent pipe to exhaust combustion byproducts (such as water vapor and carbon monoxide) to the outside
An electricity source is required to run the control systems, the blower, and some accessories.
Through the additional of a domestic water coil, oil boilers can also be used to provide hot water for domestic uses, such as drinking and bathing.General Central Air Conditioning Information:
A residential split-system central air conditioner keeps your entire home cool in the warmer months, and also lowers indoor humidity levels. It is important that your system be properly sized for your house. Over-sized systems often will not remove sufficient humidity from the air to keep your home feeling comfortable.The unit extracts heat from indoor air and transfers it outside, leaving the cooled indoor air to be re-circulated.
An air conditioner uses electricity as a power source and includes the following:
- An outdoor condenser,
- A gas or oil furnace or an air handler,
- An evaporator coil,
- A refrigerant lineset, and
- A ductwork system with registers and grilles to transfer the cooled air throughout the home.
The efficiency of an air conditioning system is measured in terms of SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). Our systems all meet the minimum federal energy efficiency requirements and many provide even greater efficiencies, up to 18:00 SEER.
General Heat Pump Information:
Air-to-Air Heat Pumps:
A residential split-system air-to-air heat pump is a year-round comfort system. In the summer, it extracts heat from indoor air and transfers the heat outside to keep your home cool, and in the winter, it extracts heat from outside air and transfers it into your home to keep it warm. Outside air above the temperature of absolute zero always has heat in it
A heat pump uses electricity as its power source and requires:
- An outdoor heat pump condenser section,
- A matching indoor gas or oil furnace or air handler,
- An evaporator coil,
- A refrigerant lineset, and
- A ductwork with registers and grilles to transfer the heated or cooled air throughout the home.
The efficiency of a heat pump system is rated using SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) for cooling efficiency and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) for heating efficiency. Our systems all meet the minimum federal efficiency requirements and many provide even greater efficiencies, up to 18:00 SEER.
Geothermal Heat Pumps:
A geothermal (or ground source) heat pump is also a year-round home comfort system. It is an environmentally-friendly way to heat and cool your home. Geothermals reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Six feet or meters (according to Wikipedia) and more below the earth’s surface, ground and water temperatures remain relatively constant year-round. Through underground loops or wells, a geothermal system extracts heat from the ground in the winter and transfers heat to the ground during the summer.A geothermal heat pump uses electricity as its power source and includes the following:
- A condenser
- An indoor unit
- A lineset
- Ductwork
- Ground loop piping/wells
The efficiency of a geothermal heat pump system is rated using EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) for cooling efficiency and COP (Coefficient of Performance) for heating efficiency. Our geothermal systems all exceed the minimum federal efficiency requirements.
