Solving Special Comfort Problems
ADDITIONAL RETURN AIR RUNS
SOLVE MANY SYSTEM AIRFLOW PROBLEMS
A common issue in HVAC systems is insufficient return air, often due to poor initial design or systems originally intended only for heating. Adding extra returns improves air supply, enhancing airflow and overall comfort for your household. Addressing this issue brings several benefits: quieter operation, improved airflow efficiency, reduced repair needs, prolonged equipment lifespan, lower utility costs, and ultimately, enhanced comfort for you and your family.
ATTIC VENTILATOR
TAKE A LOAD OFF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
Have you experienced the sweltering heat of an attic in the middle of summer? It can be unbearable. That’s where an attic ventilator comes in. By exhausting hot air from your attic and drawing in cooler air from outside, an attic ventilator assists your air conditioner in cooling your home efficiently and reducing utility bills. This air circulation significantly decreases the heat load on your home, helping your air conditioner operate more effectively and cool your living spaces faster. Installing an attic ventilator not only saves money but also enhances your comfort throughout the summer months.
KOOL KAP
KEEP THE LEAVES OUT OF YOUR OUTDOOR UNIT
Protect your air conditioner year-round with a Kool Kap. Day in and day out, your air conditioner’s condensing unit faces exposure to sun, rain, snow, ice, leaves, dirt, sticks, and other debris. This accumulation can gather at the bottom of your condensing unit, trapping moisture that leads to premature rust and corrosion, ultimately damaging your system. By keeping your condensing unit clean with a Kool Kap, you ensure it operates at peak efficiency, saving on utility bills. Once installed, the Kool Kap requires no maintenance — simply put it on and forget about it, knowing your system is protected throughout the seasons.
CEILING SAVER KIT
PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM UNEXPECTED “FLASH FLOODS”
Beyond cooling, the primary role of an air conditioner is to dehumidify indoor air for comfort. Condensed water from this process is typically drained away, but if your system is located in the attic, this setup can pose serious risks. A clogged drain could lead to water overflowing onto your ceiling, potentially costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars in repairs, especially for cathedral ceilings. To prevent such issues, we offer a Ceiling Saver Kit.
This kit includes a custom-fabricated pan designed to catch leaks, with a separate drain line to safeguard your ceiling. In case of a backup drain clog, we install a safety switch that automatically shuts off your air conditioner, preventing further condensation and subsequent damage. This proactive approach ensures that any issues with your air conditioning system are promptly addressed without any water damage to your ceiling.
CONDENSATE PUMP
REMOVE THE NUISANCE OF UGLY HOSES OR PIPES RUNNING ACROSS THE FLOOR
Condensation or wastewater is a byproduct of high-efficiency furnaces, air conditioning evaporator coils, and flow-through humidifiers. To efficiently transfer this wastewater to a proper drain, a condensate pump is used.
HARD START KIT
EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR COMPRESSOR
A hard start kit is designed to assist your air conditioner’s compressor during start-up. If your indoor air conditioning coil is located more than 50 feet from your outdoor condensing unit, a hard start kit can provide the necessary boost for your compressor when it turns on. Essentially, your air conditioner functions like a pump, circulating refrigerant throughout the system. The harder the pump has to work, the less efficient it becomes and the more prone it is to breakdowns. A hard start kit provides crucial support during the initial pumping process, extending the life of your compressor and potentially saving you from costly repairs or replacements.
PROTECTIVE REMOTE MONITORING DEVICES
MONITORS & PROTECTS YOUR HOME WHEN YOU AREN’T THERE
Let technology simplify your life with systems that monitor your heating and air conditioning around the clock, 365 days a year. These advanced systems are ideal for vacation homes or frequent travelers, ensuring your home remains comfortable and secure even when you’re away.
SURGE SUPPRESSORS AND LIGHTNING ARRESTORS
SAFEGUARD YOUR EQUIPMENT
During the sweltering summer months, utility companies often reduce power output, a situation commonly referred to as a brownout. Brownouts can cause irreparable damage to appliances, especially air conditioners, which are designed to operate with a specific power level. When power levels drop, these appliances continue to function but under increased stress. Additionally, lightning strikes can severely damage or destroy electrical appliances. Installing a lightning arrestor in your breaker box can protect your air conditioner, computer, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, stereo, and televisions. This affordable device, integrated into your home’s electrical panel, can save you thousands of dollars by safeguarding your appliances from lightning strikes.
TIME DELAY RELAY
LET YOUR AIR CONDITIONER DO “HIGHWAY MILES … INSTEAD OF CITY MILES”
A time delay relay helps prevent your unit from short-cycling, which can significantly reduce wear and tear and extend its lifespan. This accessory is especially useful for families with children who frequently adjust the thermostat. With a time delay relay, you don’t have to worry about burning out your compressor, regardless of how often the heat/cool or fan on/auto switches are changed. The system will only turn on 3-5 minutes after the last adjustment, providing a protective buffer that ensures safe and efficient operation.
EASY-TO-SEE THERMOSTATS
MAKE TEMPERATURE READING MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL
Easy-to-see thermostats are an innovative solution that more people should know about! They function just like standard thermostats but are designed for ease of use. Featuring large, raised numbers, these thermostats are perfect for individuals with impaired vision. Each degree adjustment is accompanied by an audible click, making it easy to set the temperature accurately. Additionally, an optional large, clear dial cover is available to assist those with arthritis, ensuring accessibility for everyone.
