Whole Home Climate Control Systems Offer Energy Savings, Value And Comfort(HIT) - Since cavemen discovered fire and learned how to use it to keep their dwellings warm, homeowners have made great strides in their effort to control the indoor environment. Smart homeowners now rely on a sophisticated, integrated, whole home climate control and air treatment systems to provide total indoor comfort. Tailor A Whole Home Climate Control System To Suit Your Needs"If you live in a colder climate, your heating and cooling requirements will be vastly different than a homeowners in the Southwest," says Frank Hartman, residential marketing vice president, Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems. "In colder climates, where the furnace runs most of the time during the heating season, a high-efficiency furnace with a mid-efficiency air conditioner is the best choice of equipment. Start With A FurnaceA knowledgeable heating and cooling contractor can help you plan a whole home climate control system. The initial component of such a system is a heat source, and todays gas furnaces are more efficient than ever before. As a result of government regulations, all home heating appliances now meet more stringent minimum efficiency standards. What this means to the consumer is that less of the heat generated by a newer furnace will be wasted. Energy Efficient Air ConditionersManufacturers like Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems have developed new air conditioners with energy savings, quiet operation and whole-house comfort in mind. "Surveys show that while homeowners want comfort, they also want a system that responds to peak demands and performs quietly," Hartman adds. "Aerocoustic" Design Reduces NoiseBryants Two-Speed Plus units are among the quietest and most reliable air conditioners on the market. With a sound rating of 7.2 bels on low speed, a three-ton, Two Speed-Plus is six times quieter than most single-speed air conditioners. Normal conversation is rated at 7.0 bels, the standard measure of sound. By comparison, the chirping sound of a cricket is rated at 9.4 bels, about 165 times noisier than the Two Speed-Plus unit operating at low speed. Zoning Ties It All TogetherA zoning control system is the essential component that ties the components of a whole home climate control system together and helps regulate temperature and air flow. A zoning control system allows homeowners to control air flow and temperature in specific areas of a home at specific times of the day. For example, Bryants Zone Perfect zoning control system consists of a programmable thermostat and two-position duct dampers that provide precise temperature control for up to four independent zones, depending on the style and size of a home. Buying SmartInstalling a whole home climate control system from one manufacturer can give homeowners some assurance that they wont have to worry about incompatibilities and the resulting system failures which are common in older homes, where components are repaired or replaced independently of each other. The best assurance for the long life of a whole home climate control system is to buy all of the components from one manufacturer, whose components are designed to work with each other for maximum efficiency. This system approach to indoor climate control will keep your family comfortable and your utility bills down.
