Before You Call

Before calling a heating and air conditioning company, check the following:
  • Check selections on thermostat. Ensure that it is set to the desired settings.
  • Check power supply. This can include a circuit breaker and or/a regular looking wall switch close to the indoor unit
  • Check for freezing up of units. If the unit is frozen turn it off. Check the filter(s) and supply vents to make sure they are not obstructed in any way. If you find no problems leave the unit turned off and call a service company.

Proper Humidity Levels

Having proper humidity levels in your home or business is important not only for your health but also in the amount of energy your HVAC systems use to keep you comfortable. If the humidity level in your home is high in the summer you will not feel cool. If the humidity level is low in the winter you will not feel warm when the thermostat is set at an average temperature. This will result in turning the HVAC thermostat up to compensate and you will use more energy to stay warm. A properly designed and installed system will keep the proper levels of humidity in your home or business and save you money on energy used by the HVAC System. For more information on humidity and the benefits of maintaining proper levels visit High Performance HVAC's Humidifier Page.

HVAC Water Control Valves Related Links

In HVAC chilled and hot water systems there is a need for automatic and manual control valves to control the flow of water in piping loops.  Valves such as check valves, triple-duty valves,  automatic flow control valves,  automatic temperature control valves, and circuit setters can maintain the flow at a specified rate, reduce pressure, regulate temperature, dampen pulses in the hydronic loops, and protect the system from serious damage by preventing instability in a hydronic systems.
