Over the past few years a comfort revolution has been taking place. People are taking control of their home comfort systems. They have realized that square footage guesstimates used by many home heating and cooling contractors do not meet their comfort and efficiency needs.
With all of the various types of wall, window, and roof constructions, heating, cooling, ventilation, and humidity demands can vary widely among homes of similar shape and size.
Some homes by virtue of their construction, require heat recovery or energy recovery systems because natural ventilation is insufficient. In others natural ventilation is sufficient and these devices are not essential. The question is how are you to know?
We put you in charge by providing the information you need to assure comfort, efficiency, and proper sizing of equipment. We match your home with your area and your comfort preferences so that you can tell your contractor or equipment wholesaler exactly what you need.
There are many good HVAC mechanics that simply don't konw how to do good calculations. I can't convey adequately how many times over my years as an HVAC designer that people have saved many thousands of dollars by utilizing my service.
There are Internet wholesalers that have maps where you simply click on your area and type in your home size and presto a size pops up. Without any regard for the type of home. This may be convenient if you are selling equipment, however it is frequently not the best solution for you the customer or the environment.
Other people market easy to use heat loss and heat gain software, that is relatively easy to use if you know the right answers to various HVAC questions and are pretty good on the computer. Unfortunately we have seen the other end of this transaction where people (justifiably) have no confidence in their results and end up hiring us anyway.
Comfy house can save you money in up front cost, future energy cost, and long term system life.
Yet, this is secondary compared to the comfort that properly designed systems deliver.
