American Standard's high efficient gas furnaces can be purchased in 95% and 80% models with variable speed blowers and 2 stages of heat. These models typically run at the first, more efficient stage (65% of capacity) most of the time; stepping up to the second stage only during the coldest days for energy-conserving operation that helps you save on your monthly utility bills.
The variable speed blower motor varies its speed based on your comfort demands. Variable speed blowers also offer the following benefits: better humidity control, reduction in dust mites, increase in air flow in tough to reach areas, making your home feel even cooler. Heat pumps can also be purchased with variable speed blower motors.
When we replace your equipment we understand that your house is your families home and all of our techs will be respectful while on the job. Drop cloths are laid down on every system change-out.
Value of Our Installation
Without the right installation, you could waste $0.50 of every energy dollar and be uncomfortable as well!
North Carolina Alternative Energy Corp.
This non-profit organization examined air conditioning manufacturers' efficiencies versus the actual efficiencies that resulted after installation
- 90% of the units tested exhibited some sort of energy-wasting problem
- 50% had an improper refrigerant charge
- 40% failed to meet minimum air flow criterion. 20% were barely inside the range specified by manufacturers
- A deficiency of 20% in air flow reduces the SEER rating by 17%
- A 15% return air leak from a 120 degree attic could reduce a 12 SEER to 6!

found that heat pumps lost almost 50% of their efficiency after 20 years, even if typical "dust stop" filter were installed. In 20 years, a 12 SEER unit could degrade to a 6 SEER. This would double the energy cost!

data shows a condensing unit with a SEER of 13 matched with an old air handler would decrease the SEER to 9.2, resulting in 30% less efficiency.
