Value of Our Installation

The North Carolina Alternative Energy Corporation, a non-profit organization, examined air conditioning manufacturers' efficiencies versus the actual efficiencies that resulted after installation; they found the following:

You Will Be in the Top 10%

90% of the units testing exhibited some sort of energy-wasting, comfort-robbing problem!

Other significant HVAC industry comfort and energy related surveys reveal: (*)

Duct Leakage (93%)

• Poor indoor air quality
• Health and safety concerns
• Drafts and uneven temperature
• May Double HVAC portion of energy bill

Over sizing (47%)

• Doesn't run enough to wring out moisture
• Air in sunlit - shaded rooms does not work
• Equipment typically noisier and has a shorter equipment life.

Incorrect Refrigerant Charge (54%)

• Increased failure rate
• Reduced moisture removal
• Equipment typically noisier
• Uneven temperature
• Could add as much as 17% to operating costs.

Incorrect Air Flow (70%)

• Uneven temperatures
• Poor moisture control
• Noisy grilles and registers
• Could add as much as 10% to operating costs
• A 20% deficiency in air flow reduces the SEER rating by 17%
