One of the hottest discussions (pardon the pun) within the air conditioning and heating industry is the difference between two refrigerants – R-22 and R-410A. As a homeowner considering a purchase, it’s important that you understand the difference so you can make the best decision for your system. We’ve outlined below the main differences and why they matter.
As temperatures rise, homeowners must prioritize their HVAC system. Clean, maintain, and install a smart thermostat for a smoothly running air conditioner and lower energy bills. Additionally, consider the benefits of heat pump technology for efficient heating and cooling, reducing costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
More and more we’re getting questions from homeowners about heat pumps. What are they? How do they work? Are they right for me? While heat pumps are fairly common in the warmer states they are less well known in other parts of the country, but that is quickly changing.
Finding a way to evenly manage temperature and humidity control are two main advantages of a modulating system. While a fixed speed system can only run at full speed, a modulating system can have two or more speeds. In terms of temperature control, this means a modulating system will provide consistent air conditioning that is commensurate with the need in the home, as opposed to a fixed speed’s just turning on or off.
Due to the warm climate, homes in the Southeast need efficient cooling and dehumidifying systems as well as an option for light winter heating. While most homes continue to use central cooling and heating systems, heat pumps are also widely used in the Southeast as an ideal solution for the mild winters. The popularity of heat pumps has grown, especially in recent years, as a commonly used cooling and heating technology.
