Indoor Air Quality

Annual inspections

Your cooling and heating systems must be maintained in order to run efficiently and dependably. You should change your air filters monthly. And your air conditioner and heater should each be inspected once a year. Annual heating and cooling check-ups allow a technician to identify minor problems before they become major problems. Proper maintenance may add years to the life of your units' major components. It also enables your heating and cooling systems to run more efficiently and more dependably.

Air Filters and Cleaners

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than the air outdoors.  Improve the air quality in your home with a Whole-House Air Cleaner.

• Electronic Air Cleaners
• Media Air Cleaners
• HEPA Air Cleaners
• Replacement Filters

Humidification

Air in your home that is too dry can be uncomfortable to breathe, and can damage wood products like flooring, pianos, picture frames and cabinetry.  While on the reverse, air that has too much moisture can cause your home to feel sticky or damp, create condensation on windows and other cold surfaces, or cause air to smell musty.

• Humidifiers
• Dehumidfiers

Ultraviolet Air Treatment

Ultraviolet (UV) Air Treatment Systems zap mold spores and certain live, airborne bacteria passing by the lamp to prevent them from being re-circulated into your home's air.  The shortwave lights, similar to those used in hospitals, laboratories and commercial kitchens, are easy to add to your existing heating and cooling system.  Plus, the long-life lamps are easy to replace when needed.

Radiant in-floor heating systems

Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling which utilizes heat conduction and radiant heat or cold for indoor climate control, rather than forced air heating which relies on convection. Heat can be provided by circulating heated water or by electric cable, mesh, or film heaters.

Underfloor heating can be used with concrete and wooden floors, with all types of floor covering (e.g., stone, tile, wood, vinyl, and carpet), and at ground level or upstairs. Choice of floor finishing requires careful consideration, because changes of floor finish may affect performance.

The benefits and comfort of a radiant floor heating system are endless—creating an energy saving and healthier home for you and your family for years to come. In-floor heating systems heat every room in your home evenly with heating coils that are placed under the floor before installation.

The water in a radiant system has a capacity to transport energy 3,500 times greater than air, so it can heat (and even cool) using less energy than a forced-air system. This amounts to greater comfort at a lower thermostat setting, which provides lower energy bills. In fact, more people are comfortable with radiant floor heating at a lower thermostat setting than with forced-air heating at a higher thermostat setting.

Additionally, a radiant heating system works in zones, allowing different areas of a home to heat at different temperatures. This allows typically chilly rooms, such as bathrooms, basements and entryways, to receive more heat when needed. At the same time, rooms with less traffic, such as a den or formal dining room, can be set to a lower thermostat setting, making the system even more energy-efficient.

Heat pumps

Reliability:
Quality construction meets up-to-date design. You can count on Armstrong Air heat pumps for years of dependable comfort. The Copeland Scroll™ compressor is engineered for maximum durability, while a built-in filter dryer helps protect the system from contaminants. Matched indoor components include Microban® protected drain pans which inhibit the growth of odor causing mold, mildew and bacteria. The new platinum gray cabinet, with horizontal louvers and appliance-like seams and contours, provides an attractive appearance designed to complement every home.

Quiet Operation:
A blanket of insulation lets you relax in quiet comfort. The air heat pumps are designed to provide maximum comfort while keeping noise at a minimum. A heavy-duty insulation blanket surrounding the compressor and the wire-fan discharge keep fan noise to a minimum and direct air away from your home and landscaping. Heat pumps use QuietShift™ technology to control noise when the unit transitions into the defrost cycle.

Energy Efficiency:
Higher energy efficiency helps lower utility bills. With an efficiency rating of up to 14 SEER, these heat pumps can help reduce your energy costs compared to older, less efficient equipment.† You can feel good knowing these units use the new R410A refrigerant, which meets government standards for non-ozone depleting appliances.

Hot water boiler systems

A residential hot water boiler is used to heat water for a hydronic heating system. A hydronic heating system maintains comfort in your home with hot water circulating to every room. The system basically consists of a boiler, pump and baseboards connected by water piping. The boiler heats water to temperatures between 120º and 210º, and the water is then pumped through the piping in the baseboards located around the outer perimeter of the home for a curtain of warmth, or in the floor in radiant systems.

Whole house vacuum systems

A Honeywell Central Vacuum System features high powered air watt motors and Triumph® HEPA Filtration. It utilizes a closed system design to collect and remove 100% of contacted pollutants and allergens, such as dirt, dust, pollen, mites, animal dander and debris from the living area, unlike conventional vacuum cleaners.

Honeywell Central Vacuum Systems have a complete line to clean homes of all types and sizes. Honeywell Cleaning Sets and Accessories clean hard to reach places and surfaces.

A Honeywell Central Vacuum System can be installed in virtually any home. Each strategically placed inlet lets you vacuum 700 - 800 square feet.

All Honeywell power units feature steel construction for superior strength. They feature AirWatts motors that deliver up to five times more cleaning power than a conventional vacuum to capture more dust, dirt and allergens in the home. Each unit includes a permanent, self-cleaning filtration system, assuring that dust, dirt and allergens cannot re-circulate in the living area. The filter's thin membrane can trap particles as fine as smoke and sheds them into the unit's dirt receptacle when the power unit is turned off.

Ductless mini-split A/C's

Mini splits can be effectively used in both residential and commercial buildings. They are currently most commonly used in multi-family housing or retrofit as add-ons to homes with "non-ducted" heating systems. They can also be a good choice for room additions and small apartments, where installing ductwork (for a central air-conditioner or heating systems) is not feasible or practical. Other opportunities for effective use include school classrooms, perimeter cooling for office buildings, additional cooling for office buildings, additional cooling for restaurant kitchens and cooling for small offices. They can also effectively cool smaller areas within larger spaces, such as arenas, warehouses or auditoriums.

Popular for many years in Europe and Asia, ductless mini split air conditioners and heat pumps are fast becoming just as popular in the United States, too. The system is composed of three main components: an outdoor unit, an indoor mounted evaporator unit, and a wireless remote controller. The outdoor and indoor units are connected via small refrigerant lines that run through a three inch opening in the wall or ceiling. Our ductless mini split systems deliver the unmatched comfort of a traditional split system to specific individual spaces in your home. Whether you're creating a quiet, comfort-controlled home theater room, or simply want to heat or cool an area in your home without ducts, the wide variety of ductless mini splits give you the efficiency, aesthetics and comfort of a traditional central split system.
