A Word from Dale

HVAC can be a very daunting topic. What is it?

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.

What are the components of an HVAC system? Furnaces, baseboard heating, central air, window units, even a fireplace can become a component.

Most residential homes are designed with what is called air to air transfer. This conditions the air starting at the furnace. Every system has return inlets and supply outlets and is what transfers the air and can be heated or cooled. This type of system is a standard split system heating and cooling unit.

There are varying types of air transfer units on the market and what is right for you depends on the type of home you have.

Getting the right unit for your home is crucial to not only the functionality but also the cost out of pocket and the safety factors involved.

A certified HVAC technician should be trained to ensure that your home is equipped with the proper units that will ensure your home stays comfortable no matter the weather outside. They should look at wall thickness, attic insulation, crawl spaces, and your ventilation system.

The ductwork in your home is very important when it comes to heating, cooling, and ventilation. The size of the ductwork has to match your needs. This means that the size of your home and where the air is transferring to must match.

The type of insulation and windows also factor in when ensuring that your home is equipped properly. The duct work is a crucial piece of the overall HVAC system and we can ensure that you are matched properly with the system to fit your needs.

Not all homes are built the same way and depending on when, one of the components they may not have taken into consideration is the addition of air conditioning, which in Oregon, is many times, not a standard installation.

If your home has a southwest exposure it may need more ventilation, return air components, and supply venting to make it work efficiently.

HVAC or air transfer exchange would be the simple way of saying it, can be complicated and the components that a service technician needs to be aware of are numerous to ensure you have the proper system in place.
