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.

"Leading by Example"

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 systems ! You only get one chance to do it the right way and the best time is always from the beginning. The point here is to research your HVAC contractors beyond the estimate price, quality costs more from the start.

 

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. Our projects are carefully engineered with advanced heating and cooling systems. Many HVAC contractors still oversize installations by relying on "rules of thumb" rather than sound engineering. Even energy-efficient equipment that are oversized can have "fast cycles" (short cycles). Frequent on/off cycles waste energy, negate the investment in higher-efficiency equipment and often fail to deliver real comfort. That's why we at Blue Castle Systems follow the ACCA guidelines for sizing HVAC equipment and systems. We engineer every plan. But even we can be outdone by leaky ducts, which can waste up to 40 percent of heating and cooling costs. However, we can honestly say that we have and continue to seal all our ductwork and install balancing dampers in order to deliver heat and cool air where it's needed. All the principles we studied to make these projects green are really common sense. Many HVAC contractors simply do not understand that the system has to be sized right in order to be efficient, comfortable, and reliable.

 

We have supported and promoted green building technology since our inception. We did not go green per se; we have always been green even before the term became a mainstay. 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 as it was designed, that is a problem we cannot live with. We will be the first to tell you that there's more to energy efficiency than simply installing high efficiency equipment. One of our goals has always been for us to look for ways to outperform each of our projects that we have done before.

 

Our goal in a nutshell: to design the mechanical system that will give the highest level of efficiency, comfort, and durability. We deliver energy savings, while positioning ourselves to be a leader in the green movement. We are dedicated in helping our contractors achieve their construction goals as well, to stay within their budget, to please their customers! We love what we do and it shows! (Who else designs true High Performance Systems? Who else guarantees all their comfort systems will be energy efficient? Who else guarantees every component (materials & equipment) of the heating & cooling system to be properly installed from being unsafe and/or ineffectual?)
