The Perfect Temperature is Easier Than You Think Forced Air Furnaces Geothermal Systems Hot Water & Steam Boilers For most of us, comfort
starts with keeping our home the right temperature, whether that's toasty
warm on bone-chilling winter nights or pleasantly cool in the 'dog days' of
summer. Maintaining the perfect temperature is the job of your heating and
cooling equipment. Forced Air Furnace Systems Variable Control Furnaces Some mid and high-efficiency furnaces offer additional features that provide greater comfort (as well as additional energy savings). Two-speed furnaces can run on low speed up to 90% of the time, so they operate more quietly and run for longer periods of time than single-speed furnaces. These furnaces are the foundation of the Evolution System. Longer operating
periods translate into fewer on/off cycles, fewer drafts and much smaller
temperature swings -- only one or two degrees instead of the four-degree
swings common with single-speed furnaces. Plus, better air circulation helps
prevent air "stratification" - warm air rising to the ceiling and
cold air settling on the floor. In short, you get consistent, even heat throughout
your home. Understanding Furnace Efficiency A furnace's efficiency
rating, or AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency), tells you how
efficiently the furnace uses fuel (gas or oil). In general, the higher the
efficiency, the less fuel the furnace will use to heat your home. For more
details on AFUE, go to How can I compare the performance of heating and
cooling products? Rely on the Quality of the Bryant
Geothermal
Systems For Heating & Cooling The earth absorbs
almost 50% of all solar energy and remains a nearly constant temperature of
50°F to 70°F depending on geographic location. Working with an underground
loop system, a Bryant geothermal unit
utilizes this constant temperature to exchange energy between your home and
the earth as needed for heating and cooling. In winter, water
circulating inside a sealed loop absorbs heat from the earth and carries it
to the unit. Here it is compressed to a higher temperature and sent as warm
air to your indoor system for distribution throughout your home. In the summer, the
system reverses and expels This is the best news
... with the installation of a geothermal unit, your monthly utility bills
will be lowered dramatically, leaving more savings for your family. You can get heating,
central air conditioning, and domestic hot water. That’s three benefits – all
from the same compact unit. A typical homeowner can save in the range of $600
to $1,200 annually (actual savings may vary depending on usage, weather, and
local utility rates). How? The use of geothermal loops allow our units to use
only a relatively small amount of electricity. The unit merely, transfers
heat to and from the earth, rather than creating it from fossil sources like
conventional systems. With geothermal, you
will enjoy savings up to 60% over conventional systems with a short
investment payback. Click here to learn more about Geothermal Systems Hot
Water & Steam Boilers If you're
investigating a boiler heating system for your home, or if you're replacing
an old, inefficient, or worn-out boiler, a gas-fired hot water boiler is the
home heating investment that's right for you. Boiler systems
are a methods of heating that use hot water or steam instead of air. With
hydronic heat, you get two types of heat delivery: radiant heat and convected
heat. Radiant heat warms you directly, just like the sun's rays. Convected
heat is carried by warm air circulating in a room. Hydronic heat lets you choose from several different
devices that use these two heating processes. Hot water from a Burnham boiler
can be piped to radiant tubing hidden in the floor, to slim baseboard
radiators, or to stand-alone radiators. Hot water can also be circulated
through a coil in your central air-conditioning unit to heat other living
spaces with warm air. Plus, hydronic heating produces more hot water for
cooking, washing, hot tubs, swimming pools, and even radiant sidewalks and
driveways to melt ice and snow. Many old boilers operate at around 60%
efficiency. This means that 40% of your fuel dollars are wasted. A new
boiler, with an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) of up to 84%, can
reduce your heating bills by as much as 28%. Your new boiler virtually pays
for itself in a few short years by saving money spent on fuel the old system
is wasting. Click here to learn more about Hot Water
