HeatMaxx™ & CoolMaxx™ Comfort System Analysis Begin to See How Your Heating or Cooling System is Really Working   Your home heating and cooling system may not be delivering the comfort and efficiency you're paying the utility company for.   HeatMaxx and CoolMaxx reports provide a preliminary snapshot of your comfort system's delivered performance.   What is a comfort system analysis?   Since the days when we began heating and cooling our homes, service agreements have only included checking the heating and cooling equipment. Until now, our industry has lacked the technology and the skills to include the duct system in your service agreement and measure the operating capacity of your system.   Until recently, when a system didn't work, our only option was to replace the equipment, this is very costly, and often did little to improve system performance. Now we include the duct system and testing system performance as part of our service and are able to diagnose and pinpoint system deficiencies.         Even a Brand New System Should Have a CoolMax   It's easy to assume that if you have the most recent model of furnace or air conditioner in your home, you should have the most efficient system possible. But unlike a self contained stove or refrigerator, your air conditioning and heating system depends on a series of ducts and registers winding through your home. HeatMaxx and CoolMaxx rate the live operating efficiency of the entire installed system. This has been previously unavailable to homeowners.   What Should I Expect From a CoolMaxx Test?   Your HeatMaxx and CoolMaxx Report is a first step in analyzing your system. There is never any obligation to do anything. If you are happy with your delivered efficiency, no further steps need to be taken.   If, however, you find you are only getting 50, 60 or 70 percent of the rated equipment capacity, you may want to have further testing and diagnosis completed to determine how performance can be improved. A National Comfort Institute certified contractor is well equipped to provide you with the testing and knowledge to enable you to make your best decision possible.     The HeatMaxx and CoolMaxx reports offer a preliminary rating of your heating and cooling system's level of performance. These reports have been created as an air conditioning and heating educational tool for customers of NCI contractors.   Part of our testing includes measuring air pressures in your system. From these tests we can determine the airflow through your system and verify the resistance through your air filters. Using this and other data we can calculate the delivered BTU from your system. Filter pressure can have a drastic effect on the performance of your system.   CoolMaxx Testing is always performed while your system is running under normal operating conditions. Your contractor will drill a few harmless test holes in your system, but will plug them when we are finished. No harm or setting changes take place until you have seen the CoolMaxx report and decide if you want to take any action.   Only NCI certified contractors are authorized by NCI to use the HeatMaxx and CoolMaxx forms and test procedures.   CoolMaxx testing in relatively inexpensive compared to the potential energy savings. In many cases contractors will include CoolMaxx testing as part of routine service or as part of a new system quote. Doing a CoolMaxx test before and after you install new equipment is a great way to see how your total air delivery system is performing. In certain cases additional testing may be required to pinpoint a specific area of trouble.

 

Heat Pump Systems

 

We sell a wide range of heat pump systems to fit any budget, any size home or any size building – up to a 23 SEER rating.

 

SEER is an acronym for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and measures the cooling efficiency of an air conditioner. The higher the SEER, the greater the energy efficiency. Our equipment has the best warranties and performance guarantees in the industry. Give us a call to learn more.

 

Dual Fuel Systems

 

Dual fuel systems are state-of-the-art heating and cooling solutions which combine an energy efficient air-source electric heat pump with a new or existing gas or propane furnace.

 

In this arrangement, the heat pump is the primary source of heating and cooling, while the furnace provides supplemental heating when necessary. At temperatures down to 25 degrees, a heat pump is more than twice as efficient as the highest-efficiency gas or oil furnace. In fact, it supplies two to three times more heat for your home than the electric energy it uses. As outdoor temperatures fall into the twenties, the heat pump drops out and the gas furnace takes over.

 

We sell a wide range of dual fuel systems up to 23 SEER to fit any budget.

 

Gas Furnaces

 

Our two-stage gas furnaces are ideal for those transitional periods that need just a little heat to take the chill out of the air. Our two-stage furnaces respond with a preheat stage, warming the heat exchangers before circulating air throughout your home. Then the blower starts at low speed, gently warming your home without short-cycling, preventing the frequent starting and stopping that can happen with single-stage furnaces. In more extreme temperatures, two-stage furnaces switch to high stage for maximum comfort.

 

A variable speed blower is a smart motor that operates at a slower, more efficient speed the majority of the time. This means it's quieter than conventional blower motors, particularly during first stage or low heat operation. Variable speed also puts an end to temperature swings during heating season, giving you a gentle, warm flow of air consistently and comfortably. This gentle airflow has another benefit. A slower fan speed means more unwanted particles cling to the filter, so cleaner air flows into your home.

 

Our variable speed furnace will give you more comfort during the cooling season because of greater humidity control with our Comfort-R feature. During cooling, air moves over the coil more slowly at start-up, resulting in increased moisture removal - a significant feature if you live where humidity is a problem.

 

Zone Systems

 

Zoning is the controlled delivery of heating or cooling to specific areas within a home or commercial building. With a zone system, you can heat or cool only the areas you wish - to the degree you wish - while bypassing the areas you don't.

 

Zoning eliminates hot and cold spots and makes every space comfortable. If you fight over the thermostat, dread sleeping upstairs in the summer, dress in heavy sweaters in the winter, or don't use rooms because they are uncomfortable to be in, zoning is your solution. Zoning gives you maximum comfort, maximum energy savings and low cost. It's smart, simple and affordable.

 

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

 

Carbon monoxide (CO) can invade your home from many sources, from wood burning fireplaces to vehicles in attached garages. Most consumers don't realize the majority of retail CO monitors/alarms alert you to only higher levels of CO. Continuous presence of low levels of carbon monoxide can be equally hazardous, especially to households with infants, elderly and chronically ill individuals.

 

Our commercial-grade carbon monoxide detectors protect your home's occupants from both high and low levels of carbon monoxide, ensuring your safety and providing the peace of mind you deserve.

 

Humidifiers

 

Consider this. The relative humidity of the Sahara Desert is 25%. The relative humidity inside the average heated home is between 13% and 16%. This is why, during the winter months, your nose and throat are sore and your skin is dry. Your home needs moisture! Our high-quality humidifiers kick in when humidity falls below the optimum level. You set it and forget it.

 

Dehumidifiers

 

IIts not the heat, its the humidity! Excess humidity can have a big impact on your home's comfort. Modern, energy-efficient homes need increased humidity control due to highly-efficient air conditioning systems, better vapor barriers and thorough insulation. These conditions, working together, can result in excess moisture in your home.

 

Our dehumidifiers remove the right amount of moisture for ultimate comfort. Unlike messy portable units, our solution works throughout your entire home, providing you the ability to dehumidify a specific area where there is more humidity buildup – like your basement or crawlspace – even when your heating or cooling system isn't running.

 

Air Cleaners

 

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates the indoor air quality of a typical home is two to five times as polluted as outdoor air. Thanks to fireplace pollution, cigarette and cooking smoke, skin and pet dander, molds, mildew and fungi, pollen and a host of other sources, keeping your home's air safe and clean is no small task - particularly for homes with allergy sufferers, asthmatics and people with bronchial trouble.

 

Comfort Control has the heavy artillery you need for the war on dust. We've got solutions to fit all heating and cooling systems and we'll provide all the assistance and information you need to make the right choice.
