HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. The system is designed to circulate air throughout a variety of structures such as commercial buildings, schools, and homes. In addition to heating and cooling, having proper ventilation is essential to supply air distribution throughout the facilities. Although it is not part of the acronym, it can also manage proper indoor air quality for a healthier and cleaner environment for you and your family. Some models even have the capability to manage the humidity of your indoor environment.
Electric heaters use electricity as a fuel source to heat the air while gas heaters use natural gas. There are pros and cons to using either solution.
They are ideal for heating larger areas or spaces in colder climates.
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It measures the cooling efficiency of your heat pump and air conditioning system.
Fun fact: SEER = cooling output of an A/C unit / total electric energy needed over a cooling season.
The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient it is. Note that the printed SEER rating on the product is the maximum efficiency, and not necessarily the actual efficiency. The ratings range from 13 to 22.
You will not find a SEER rating on individual heating and cooling products such as:
Most states offer rebate programs for new high efficiency HVAC equipment. It typically requires a certain score to qualify. Please check with your local utility company for more information.
Fun fact: The minimum SEER rating for southern states is 14. In northern states, it’s 13.
Don't lean toward the cheapest heater. With an efficient system, you are guaranteed to benefit from energy savings for years to come. If you are not sure which electric heater is best for you, call us. We are here to help.
Comparing BTU and watts is like comparing apples to oranges.
BTU - British Thermal Units which is the unit measure of Energy.
Watts - The unit measure of Power
Fun fact: Power = Energy / Time.
The right comparison is BTU/hr or BTUH to watts.
To convert BTUH to watts, the formula is 1 BTUH = .293 watts. For example, a 5000 Watts Unit Heater is the same as a 17,000 BTUH version.
Manufacturers use both or either of these units to classify their products. You can use this newfound knowledge to compare similar heaters side by side.
Depending on the type of filter you have and the outdoor air quality, it can range from 30 days to as long as a year. However, with a good-quality filter, it can last up to 90 days without being replaced or cleaned. Some reusable filter simply needs to be hosed down. While most people preferred the disposable version for convenience purposes.
During pollen seasons, you might want to change it more frequently.
We recommend that you inspect your air filter every 30 days and change it as needed. It’s a five-minute step that can keep your system running efficiently and make sure your family is breathing in healthy, clean air.
