One of our goals at Decatur Heat & Air is to be sure that scenario does not happen to you. If you live in Denton, you know the importance of having a working air conditioner in the summer.

One of the best ways to minimize the chances of having a failing air conditioning system here in Texas is through regular maintenance.

Air Ducts

Do you want to know the secret to maintaining a comfortable climate in your home? How about an often-overlooked way to reduce your heating and cooling energy bills? Have the air ducts, or ductwork, in your in Denton, home inspected.

That is right, the ductwork that travels all around your home may be the cause of uneven temperature distribution—rooms which are never quite warm or cool enough and waste energy.

One of our goals at Decatur Heat & Air is to help homeowners like you get to know your duct system better. A comprehensive inspection can help identify leaks as well as places where additional insulation can conserve heat or cooling during air circulation.

Call our trained experts to learn about our air duct services. We can identify various points of your air duct network that may require professional sealing. In addition, if your ducts run through uninsulated parts of your home like your attic, we may recommend additional insulation to help you conserve energy.

If you are struggling with uneven heating and cooling due to poorly placed registers, we can solve that issue as well. Our team can help balance how the air is distributed in your home.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Residential geothermal heat pumps have been around for a very long time. They are energy efficient, are low cost in the long run, and work with nature instead of against it. Why don’t more companies talk about this heating and cooling option?

Sadly, it’s because some common myths are still circulating about geothermal heat pumps. Add that to the initial high cost and area restrictions on these systems and it’s easy for companies to stick to traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Here at Decatur Heat & Air we break down the myths and open up this alternative option for our clients. So, what is geothermal heating?

In a nutshell, geothermal furnaces exchange the heat or the cold from your Denton home with the temperature of the earth below you. Unlike the weather above, five feet into the earth, the temperature stays the same. And that energy is what geothermal heating and cooling systems tap into to keep your home comfortable. Depending on the model you consider, you may be able to heat your water supply as well with this clean, renewable energy.

On the flip side, they may cost more than traditional systems to set up and not all Texas homes or buildings will be able to use geothermal HVAC systems. While these are big considerations, they should not hold you back from considering all the options available to you.

The professions at Decatur Heat & Air are ready and willing to help—give us a call at 940-627-1616. Request geothermal heat pump service online today.

Heat Pumps

Heat pump technology has changed a great deal since it was invented. Although it was a byproduct of a deep freezer experiment, the heat pumps of today provide an effective, efficient way to deliver heating and cooling services to homeowners in Texas.

How does a heat pump work? Heat pumps operate by transferring heat from one location to another.

In the colder months, heat pumps take heat from outdoors and send it indoors to warm your home. Then in the warmer months, they do the reverse like an air conditioner and remove the heat from indoors and move it outside. Our professionals at Decatur Heat & Air can talk with you about your specific heating and cooling needs to see if a heat pump may be a good solution for you.

One big advantage of heat pumps is they do not burn fuel such as wood, oil, or natural gas. This means you typically reduce your energy bills in the long run, and your family’s heating and cooling needs are met in a more environmentally friendly manner.

Give Decatur Heat & Air a call at 940-627-1616 to find out how heat pump technology has evolved and what models might fit your heating and cooling needs. Request heat pump service online today.

Home Automation

Sometimes home automation developments can still seem like something for the distant future. As more and more gadgets enter the market, it can be difficult to decide which ones are fads and which ones are worth buying. In Denton, Texas, more home owners are considering their options, particularly when it comes to smart home heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

Home automation possibilities run a wide spectrum right now, and our professional team at Decatur Heat & Air is still exploring which solutions deliver the most value for our customers. Most people are familiar with adjustable, smart thermostats; motion-detector lights that can make coming home late at night safer; and home security systems that detect unwanted entries.

However, in the future, more families may install things like occupant sensors that can trigger heating or cooling in the rooms you’re in, remote detection of things like water leaks or excessive vibration in appliances, and automatic generation of repair or maintenance orders.

Although some smart gadgets are simply just interesting or entertaining, others can save you time, money, and stress. Home automation related to HVAC systems can also help you conserve valuable natural resources as well.

To learn more about the possibilities, contact Decatur Heat & Air at 940-627-1616. Our trained team would love to share what we currently offer and hear what other home automation solutions appeal to you. Request home automation service online today.

Indoor Air Quality

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American spends 93 percent of their time indoors. It’s no wonder that poor indoor air quality can have such a detrimental effect on your health. Our professionals at Decatur Heat & Air can test your indoor air quality as well as provide tips and services to help you improve it in your Texas home.

Common indoor air pollutants include dust and dust mites, pet hair and dander, bacteria and viruses, smoke, and chemicals from cleaning supplies and new furniture. Most heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems use an air filter to remove some of these pollutants. However, the size of particulates removed may vary depending on the quality of the filter.

Poor indoor air quality can lead to general discomfort or possibly more serious health issues. Asthma and allergies can both be aggravated by poor indoor air quality, causing additional respiratory distress.

Instead, consider having one of our air quality professionals come out and evaluate your Denton home. Air duct cleaning, air purification systems, and HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters may be recommended as part of a remediation program. Our trained experts will also inspect your HVAC system for potential leaks of carbon monoxide and other dangerous substances.

Decatur Heat & Air wants to be your partner in providing safe and healthy indoor air quality. Call us at 940-627-1616 for more details. Request indoor air quality service online today.

Maintenance

The last thing you want to happen in the heat of the summer is to turn on your air conditioning system and find it blowing hot air or to fire up your furnace to find it broken as the mercury drops in the winter. One way to prevent this scenario from occurring is to schedule regular HVAC maintenance service calls during the shoulder seasons. Our professionals at Decatur Heat & Air will be happy to come out in the spring to inspect your air conditioner and again in the fall to check your furnace.

Our trained technicians will perform a multipoint inspection to make sure everything is in good working order. In addition, they will thoroughly clean all the components of your system and change filters. If they discover any worn parts, they will advise replacement to avoid a costly repair later. Lubrication, tightening of electrical connections, and a safety check are included.

By investing in regular HVAC maintenance for your Denton home, you will keep your home comfortable. In addition, you can save money on your energy bills in Texas and increase the longevity of your entire system in the long run. Maintenance inspections are usually much less expensive than emergency repair calls, saving you money down the road.

Whole-House Dehumidifiers

The heating and cooling of your Denton home does not need to stop with the basic components of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. While these may fill most homeowners’ needs, there are always a few outliers where some extras will add so much. One of the most common home issues a basic HVAC system may not be able to handle is maintaining appropriate home humidity levels.

Right off, you may not understand the need for a whole-house dehumidifiers in your Texas home. However, they can help reduce your HVAC bills, help keep wear and tear on your overall system to a minimum, and generally have a larger impact in your home comfort than you might give them credit for at a first glance.

Another reason to consider these systems is if you struggle with allergies and other respiratory issues, including reactions to mold and mildew. These systems are very good at reducing and/or eliminating those problems from your home as they can be linked to unbalanced humidity levels.

If you are interested in what these systems can do for you, give us a call at 940-627-1616. Our professionals at Decatur Heat & Air are fully capable and ready to assist you. Request whole-house dehumidifier service online .

Whole-House Generators

Thunderstorms can wreak havoc on your plans, but they can cause even more trouble when they knock out your power. More than one-quarter of all US homeowners have experienced a power outage that lasted more than 12 hours over a two-year period of time. That’s long enough to cause significant inconvenience from food spoilage to uncomfortable indoor temperatures. Our team at Decatur Heat & Air recommends you invest in a whole-house generator to help avoid these inconveniences.

A whole-house generator is simply a generator that can take over your Texas home’s power load in the event of an outage. With a simple throw of a transfer switch, you can move your home’s heating, cooling, electronics, and appliances to an alternative source of power for as long as you need it.

For busy Denton residents, a whole-house generator can be mean the difference between continuing with your daily duties and being paralyzed from a lack of electricity.

Our trained heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) experts can come out and evaluate your power load, size of your home, and electricity needs in order to recommend a properly sized standby generator that can provide all your power needs in the case of an outage.

Contact Decatur Heat & Air at 940-627-1616 to learn more about whole-house generators. We would be happy to answer your questions and help you make the right decision. Request whole-house generator service today.

Whole-House Humidifiers

It may not occur to you to add on to your existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to solve chronic issues in your Denton home. You simply turn your thermostat up or down to control your comfort level. While that may work for some small homes, you might benefit from considering alternative options. And one of these is a whole-house humidifier.

These units do much more than control the humidity in your Texas home. They can also lower your HVAC bills, help you with chronic respiratory or other health issues, and improve the quality of your home’s circulating air.

While these may seem like big claims for a system that only adds moisture to your home, the simple fact remains that whole-house humidifiers do not get enough attention from people who may need them the most.

If you think your home may benefit from one of these units or you would simply like to explore your options, our Decatur Heat & Air professionals at 940-627-1616 are happy to help you. Request whole-house humidifier service online today.

Zone Control Systems

Technology continues to advance on all fronts today, especially in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) field. One of the more exciting new developments is zone control systems . These systems tie into your overall HVAC system; however, they provide you with superior temperature control in different zones of your Texas home.

Here’s how they work. Each zone of your home has its own thermostat, which can be programmed by day and time. As one zone “calls” your central system, automatic dampers open and close to direct the heating or cooling to that particular zone. If a second zone puts in a request, dampers adjust accordingly. Your HVAC system will continue to run until all zones reach their desired temperatures.

Our Decatur Heat & Air team can work with you to see if your current HVAC system can work with a zone control system. In most cases, controlling temperature by zones of your home will reduce the amount of energy you consume and lower your monthly utility bills.

Gone are the days of trying to determine the optimum temperature for your entire home or trying to manually close and open vents in the middle of your daily duties. Zone control systems take the worry out of managing your Denton home’s comfort levels and energy consumption.

Contact Decatur Heat & Air at 940-627-1616 with any questions about zone control systems. Our team would be happy to help you determine if it’s right for you. Request zone control system service online today.
