Reduce your carbon footprint and utility bills at the same time. WaterFurnace geothermal systems use the free, renewable energy found in your own back yard to save up to 70% on heating, cooling, and hot water costs.

Radiant heat is the same form of energy as light. Radiant heating gently and quietly "illuminates" your living space with warmth. The floor becomes the warmest surface in the room, not the coldest. And valuable energy isn't lost at the ceiling, because radiant rooms don't "stack" hot air like forced systems.

Comfort Systems are an Investment!

The value of installing a quality system the FIRST time is often understated.  You heard these phrases before: you get what you pay for or if it seems too good to be true, it is. Bargains do not exist in home comfort system designs ! (If you are not a HVAC expert, make sure you hire one to work for you based on the following). You only get one chance to do it the right way (unless you have the money to rip it out and start over again) and the best time is always from the beginning. The point here is to research your subcontractors beyond the estimate price. Quality costs more from the start and you can expect the low bid will eventually do the same (when the inevitable repairs and the number of unhappy customers call back).

 

Home comfort systems are an investment, its care ought to be entrusted to a capable company that is knowledgeable and an expertise in all areas of Heating and Cooling systems that use state of the art technology. It is impossible to expect a proper installation and a sustainable system without the proper design, proper installation and proper training of the trade. Some national surveys have determined that well over 70% of all HVAC contractors do not size heating and cooling systems correctly or at all. A quality installation should always begin with a professional design. Unfortunately, the majority of the heating and cooling contractors merely size a new system based on rule of thumb rather than completing a professional design (it is faster to skip the load calculations and use the rule of thumb). Does it compromise the home’s quality? Absolutely. It takes time and expertise to complete a load calculation and design a system. Many HVAC contractors either lack the necessary technical skills or are just interested in making a "fast buck" by cutting corners and may even try to convince you that this is not important or necessary. Many HVAC contractors simply don’t understand that the system has to be sized right to dehumidify well. They are afraid of under-sizing the system because they don’t want their customers to complain about being hot in the summer or being cold in the winter. Too many times, I have seen highly efficient equipment in a poorly designed system waiting to fail, compromise comfort, and run inefficient.

 

How it should be! We have supported and promoted green building technology since our inception, back in 2002. We did not go green per se; we have always been green. We have introduced and integrated many new innovative ideas and continue to be progressive in our thinking for a better and greener way. We consider ourselves experts in our field and offer solutions many of our competitors are not aware of or experienced enough to attempt. We approach a building holistically, considering the entire house envelope. We see the house as a system, and when you do one thing, there are reactions and consequences in other parts of the house. We go far beyond what is required by contractors, inspectors and state codes officials because at the end of the day, if the house does not perform, that is a problem we cannot live with. It is our job to make sure that your house gets finished right on time and a job well done in spite of the pressures and inconveniences of the project. We are never satisfied with where we are. We always strive to be better!

 

Make it last: Durability is a Green Value. Healthier greenbuilt homes sell faster and can go for up to 15% more. Properly size HVAC systems in well sealed and well insulated homes leads to satisfied and comfortable customers, which leads to lower operating costs, reduced callbacks, and healthier indoor air

quality. When the equipment functions properly, the home is more comfortable and the air quality is better. The homeowners notice that immediately. Then they start to see the impact on their utility bills.

Rising energy prices make this improvement even more valuable. You will be able to sell more houses if they are comfortable, safe and energy-efficient. This makes it easier for builders to stand out in a very competitive market. This gives you added credibility and gives your buyers peace of mind. In addition, you are creating a reputation for quality and professionalism.

 

Our goal has always been to design the mechanical system that will give the highest level of efficiency, comfort, and durability. We are dedicated in helping our contractors achieve their construction objectives: to stay within their budget, to complete the project within a timely manner and to please you and your customers! We love what we do and it shows! Who else designs true High Performance Systems? Who else guarantees all their comfort systems a minimum of five years (we mean everything; not just the heating & cooling system: everything installed: air exchangers, radiant heat, etc...)?

 

Remember a low bid hardly equals best value. If you would like to visit with us and see the difference for yourself, please call us at 218.230.4000 and set up an appointment. We guarantee you will get the best quality and value for your money!
