We will inspect and check the condition and SEER rating of you’re A/C equipment. We will also inspect and check your duct system (especially the duct insulation and air leaks).
- SEER = Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating
HVAC Equipment
The energy saving chart below will give you a better idea of cost vs. AC SEER Rating.
With the constant improvement of HVAC equipment energy efficiency, and the increasing state requirements for SEER ratings, it is important to constantly review your equipment. If your current air conditioner is more than 10 years old, it could be operating at lower than 10.00 SEER!
HVAC DUCT SYSTEM
A common home inefficiency problem is air leaks, and insufficient insulation in your duct system. This can also be a very costly problem as all your cool air is escaping through the duct leaks your attic instead of cooling your home. This will result in your system working harder to be efficient in your home.
How Healthy is the air in your Home?
Aside from the energy loss from leaky duct systems, there is also the pollutant issue. Never before have we known so much about pollutants and their effects on your health. Recent studies discovered that air quality in 19 out of 20 homes was considerably more polluted than air outside.
The intricate maze of air ducts, vents and heating and cooling systems designed to make your home comfortable, can in fact, be making you uncomfortable or maybe even sick.
Your air system plays host to a variety of pollutants, such as mold, mildew and dust mites, to name just a few. These impurities commonly cause allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, infections and disease. If your home is one year old or more, these contaminant’s could be clinging to every square inch of your air duct system.
