Air conditioners are a welcome addition on those Horribly Humid Summer Days
"Split System" Air Conditioners
A traditional home comfort system has two parts: an indoor unit, such as a furnace or air handler, and an outdoor unit. An air conditioner is the outdoor unit that cools air and sends it to the indoor unit for circulation through your home. Indoor and outdoor units are designed to work together. When the air conditioner is properly matched with a furnace or air handler, you get maximum efficiency and longer system life. Air conditioning and cooling efficiency is measured using a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. A higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio means higher energy efficiency. The latest standard for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio is 13 (beginning January 2006).

Here's what makes it cool
A "split system" central air conditioner includes a compressor, fan, condenser coil, evaporator coil and refrigerant. The system removes heat from indoor air and transfers it outside, leaving the cooled indoor air to be recirculated. A central air conditioning system uses electricity as its power source.

The basic components of an air conditioning system are:
A Condensing Unit (the outdoor section)
A matching indoor air handler or furnace with coil
Ductwork to transfer the cooled air throughout the home

Furnaces
Most home comfort systems have two parts: an outdoor air conditioner or heat pump, and an indoor unit, a furnace. Furnaces heat and circulate warm air in the winter. They also take cool air from the outdoor unit and circulate it through your home in summer. The indoor and outdoor units are designed to work together. When the furnace is properly matched with a heat pump or air conditioner, you enjoy maximum efficiency and extended system life. Furnace heating ability is measured with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency percentage. A higher Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency percentage indicates a more efficient furnace.

The Affinity 9.c is one of the highest rated gas furnaces in the industry (up to 98% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). The Energy Guide label outlines the energy use and efficiency of major home appliances. The Affinity 9.c Energy Guide rating exceeds government standards - insuring exceptional quality and low energy use.


The basic components of a furnace system are:
Burner, where gas (natural or propane) or oil is delivered and burned
Heat Exchanger, where the heat from the burning gas is transferred to the air distribution system
Duct work to transfer the heated air throughout the home
Flue or Vent Pipe, to exhaust byproducts of combustion (such as water vapor and carbon dioxide) outside

Split System" Heat Pumps
Integrity, Professionalism and Compassion
A split system heat pump keeps homes comfortable all year long. In summer, it draws heat out of your home to cool it. In the winter, it draws heat from outside air into your home to warm it. Many heat pumps have a booster electrical-resistance heater that automatically heats outside air even more. Outside air always has heat in it -- even at very low outdoor temperatures. Like a central air conditioner, a heat pump includes a compressor, fan, outdoor coil, indoor coil, and a refrigerant. A heat pump uses electricity as its power source.

The basic components of a heat pump are:

An outdoor Heat Pump section
A matching indoor Air Handler or Gas (natural or propane) or Oil Furnace with coil
Duct work to transfer the heated or cooled air throughout the home.

Geothermal Heating:
In the heating mode, the water circulating in the earth loop is colder than the surrounding ground. This causes the water to absorb energy, in the form of heat, from the earth. The water carries this energy to the heat exchanger in the pump. In the heat exchanger, refrigerant absorbs the heat energy from the water. The water now leaves the heat exchanger at a colder temperature, and circulates through the earth loop to pick up more energy. The refrigerant gas, which contains energy gained from the earth loop, travels from the heat exchanger to the compressor. In the compressor, the refrigerant temperature rises to 160°. The superheated refrigerant travels to the air heat exchanger. Here, the heat pump's blower circulates air across the air coil, increasing the temperature of the air, which is blown through ductwork to heat the home. After refrigerant releases its heat energy to the air, it then flows to the earth loop heat exchanger to start the cycle again.

Geothermal Cooling:
In the cooling mode, the water circulating in the earth loop is warmer than the surrounding ground. This causes the water to release energy, in the form of heat, into the earth. The water, now cooler from traveling through the ground now flows to the heat exchanger in the heat pump. In the heat exchanger, hot refrigerant gas from the compressor releases its heat into the water.
This causes the water to increase in temperature, and release the heat to the ground. The refrigerant, which has released its heat energy and became a cold liquid, now travels to the heat exchanger. Here the heat pump's blower circulates warm, humid air across the cold air coil. The air is then blown through ductwork to cool the home. The refrigerant in the air coil picks up the heat energy from the air, and travels to the compressor. When the refrigerant leaves the compressor, it then flows to the earth loop heat exchanger to start the cycle again.
