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?

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.

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: 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.

heat from your home to the cooler earth via the loop system. This heat exchange process is not only natural, but is a truly ingenious and highly efficient way to create a comfortable climate in your home.
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.
