Heating - HIGH EFFICIENCY SYSTEMS
At Vertex Mechanical Inc. we want our customers to receive the most value for their heating and cooling dollar. We offer equipment brands that are among the most energy efficient air conditioners you can buy.
In January 2006, the Department of Energy increased the minimum efficiency from 10 to 13 SEER. SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rates) indicates the efficiencies of different types of equipment. The majority of systems installed before 1992 are 10 SEER or below and will continue to drop in efficiency as the system ages.
The chart above shows you the possible savings over an 8 SEER system for higher efficiency systems. SEER ratings are a lot like miles per gallons in cars. The higher the rating, the more efficient -and the more money you save. When all of the components of your heating and cooling system are properly combined in what is called a “matched system”, they will work seamlessly together to deliver maximum performance.
What you need to know about calculating comfort...
Most homes today are heated and cooled by units that are too big for the home. Many are also too small. And when an air conditioner or heat pump system is not the proper size (capacity) for a home, an array of problems can result. Temperatures might be uneven. Units might not run long enough to properly control humidity. Units that are not running at peak performance often encounter more maintenance problems over time. And the money you think you might be saving may be reduced, because with units that are too big, you’re essentially paying to heat or cool space that isn’t there.
Vertex Mechanical Inc will do a proper load calculation to determine the right size system for your home. Your home comfort system is an investment in your quality of life. We want you to enjoy comfortable living with the peace of mind that comes from true energy cost savings.
