Air Conditioning

In 1993, only 68 percent of homes in the United States had air conditioning. By 2017 that number had jumped to 90 percent. Today, an air conditioner is a standard appliance in Texas and as essential to most families as a car, a microwave, or a refrigerator.

Air conditioning units have made incredible leaps in technology and efficiency in the last few years, making installing and operating a Justin home or small office air conditioning unit incredibly affordable.

In 2010, the most common refrigerant used in small air conditioning units, R-22, was banned in the European Union (EU) and the United States as part of a phaseout of ozone-depleting chemicals. In preparation for the ban, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry moved toward R-410A as the replacement for R-22.

The adoption of R-410A in home and small office air conditioners began a new era in high-efficiency air conditioning systems. Air conditioning units are more efficient, have a smaller footprint, and quieter than ever before.

Decatur Heat & Air has been replacing older R-22 units with new R-410A equipment for years. Call our team at 940-627-1616 and we will help you find the right unit for your home. Request air conditioning service online today.

Air Ducts

Just like your water pipes, air ducts hidden above the ceiling can leak and cause major damage to your home. Instead of water, air ducts leak conditioned air in wall and ceiling spaces wasting energy and promoting mold growth in places you can’t see.

Unfortunately, our Decatur Heat & Air experts find a lot of Justin homes with old, leaking ducts. Sometimes the duct systems have been leaking for years wasting thousands of dollars in energy costs.

The telltale signs of damaged ductwork are high utility bills, damps spots on the ceiling near vents, or noisy or whistling sounds coming from the walls. If you smell mold or other bad odors coming from your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, do not waste time thinking things will improve. Have one of our professionals check the air ducts system right away.

Old ducts can be brought back to life. Duct cleaning, resealing leaky joints, or replacing noisy sections of ductwork can restore efficiency and bring comfort back to your Texas home. Call us at 940-627-1616, as we can propose the right solutions to fix noisy and inefficient duct systems. Request air duct service online today.

Commercial Services

Workplace studies show that many factors contribute to the satisfaction and productivity of your employees. A climate-controlled work environment is certainly near the top of the list.

By working with a professional heating and cooling company such as Decatur Heat & Air that specializes in commercial applications, you’ll be ensuring a comfortable and pleasant work environment for your staff, customers, and business stakeholders.

Ductless Systems

The era of ultra-high efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units is here. Ductless systems are small, wall-mounted, single-zone heating and air units with cooling Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings near 30 compared to standard units with a typical SEER around 18. It is not uncommon in Texas for homeowners to see substantial savings in their energy bills the first month after installation of a mini split system.

Mini split units solve multiple problems at once. High efficiency makes a ductless system an outstanding replacement for an older HVAC unit. The ability to connect multiple ductless units to one condensing unit creates a zone control system, bringing high efficiency to multiple rooms. These systems offer extra benefits for your Justin home and can save you money overall.

Is your home right for a new ductless system? One call to Decatur Heat & Air at 940-627-1616 and we can survey your home to see which ductless system will serve you best. Request ductless system service online today.

Duct Cleaning

Just like your veins and arteries carry around blood, oxygen, and nutrients to each part of your body, your home’s air duct network transports heated and cooled air from your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to meet the needs of your entire family, regardless of which room they are in.

Decatur Heat & Air is dedicated to helping you keep your home’s circulatory system clean and in good working order through services such as air duct cleaning. When you call our team, we will send out trained professionals to inspect your air ducts, loosen the debris found in them, vacuum them out with powerful equipment, and flush the entire system to leave the inside of your air ducts free from dust and dirt.

Consider giving your Texas home a little extra cleaning care by investing in duct cleaning services. Just like you clean the dust off the surfaces of things in your home as well as sweep, mop, and vacuum your floors, your air ducts accumulate a great deal of grime and dirt over the years.

Every family has dust, mites, dirt and insects in their air ducts. Those families who have pets may add dander to their air ducts, and remodeling debris can also gather in your Justin home’s air ducts.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

An increasing number of homeowners in Texas are considering geothermal heat pumps when they get quotes to replace their existing systems. The US Department of Energy (DOE) reports that geothermal systems use 25 to 50 percent less electricityJustin than standard heating and air units. Additionally, geothermal heating and cooling units often last 20 years or more versus 10 to 15 years for typical heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

Unlike most HVAC units that use the atmosphere as a heat source and heat sink, a geothermal heat pump unit uses a series of underground pipes to make the earth the heat sink. The installation of the underground piping takes the place of the outdoor condensing unit found on most heating and air systems.

Not every company has the knowledge and experience to install geothermal heat pumps properly like we do at Decatur Heat & Air. A poor installation by an inexperienced contractor can mean the geothermal system provides little to no energy savings.

Call us at 940-627-1616 to let our team of experienced geothermal heat pump professionals help you decide which system is right for your Justin home. Request geothermal heat pump service online today.

Whole-House Dehumidifiers

While you may not think twice about maintaining or updating your heating and cooling system, a quality heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system does not have to simply be a traditional setup. In Texas, it is worth looking into different systems and services that work with your HVAC system in order to provide a more pleasant home for all concerned. One of the best add-on options available today is a whole-house dehumidifier system.

These handy units do one thing well: they pull the extra moisture out of your home. However, this has a lot more benefits than you might think. Removing the extra humidity can lower your allergen level, prevent mold growth, and remove dirt and dust before it settles in your Justin home. If you have been dealing with any of these issues, it is worth a hard look to see where improvements could be made.

Our professionals at Decatur Heat & Air are available to help—call us at 940-627-1616. Request whole-house dehumidifier service online today.

Whole-House Generators

Having a working heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in your Justin home is something you probably take for granted. For the most part, once your thermostat is set, the temperature adjusts as the weather requires. All is well until a booming thunderstorm rolls in and takes out your neighborhood power lines. Suddenly, your home comes to a complete standstill.

Our team at Decatur Heat & Air wants to help you continue with your day, whether it be throwing in that load of laundry, sending a work or school email, or cooking dinner. Installing a whole-house generator can help ensure that you are never without power, even in the most violent storms.

Standby generators that power the entire home are dubbed whole-house generators. Obviously, “whole house” power needs will vary by family and size of home. Individuals who live alone and simply in a Texas small bungalow may only require a very small generator to power all their needs. A large family occupying a 6,000-square-foot home will require significantly more power to keep everything running.

Our Decatur Heat & Air team is ready and waiting to help you size and select a generator to help you stay prepared. Call us at 940-627-1616 to learn more. Request whole-house generator service today.

Whole-House Humidifiers

If you have ever dealt with sharp, dry air in your home, you know how unpleasant it can be. No one wants that type of home atmosphere on a regular basis. Additionally, there are very real health issues unbalanced humidity levels can cause. If you are facing these problems in Texas, it may be time for you to look into installing a whole-house humidifier.

The simplest explanation of these systems is they work in tandem with your existing forced-air heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to balance the level of humidity in your Justin home’s air.

What are the differences between the different whole-house humidifier models? What are the advantages and drawbacks of each one? And which one is best for your needs? That is where our Decatur Heat & Air professionals at 940-627-1616 can help you discover the best solution for your needs. Request whole-house humidifier service online today.

Zone Control Systems

As an energy-conscious Texas homeowner, you may have relied on diligence and basic technology to try to reduce your energy consumption at home. You may have responsibly programmed your thermostat to reduce consumption while you are at work or asleep. You may even police your Justin home regularly, closing and opening room vents as needed. And you may take on extra inconveniences to reduce your overall carbon footprint each day.

Our team at Decatur Heat & Air can now provide you with an easier way: zone control systems. These systems are designed to connect to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Each zone has its own thermostat, and the system can be programmed to automatically open and shut zone dampers as the system receives temperature adjustments.

Zone control systems allow you to boost or lower the temperature of your bedrooms, for example, to achieve comfortable sleeping conditions. If you are entertaining in your main living areas, you can adjust that particular zone to manage the temperature for a greater number of people. Or, you can keep your home office zone comfortable while the rest of your home stays in energy-conservation mode during business hours.

Zone control systems, when installed properly and professionally, can help you reduce your energy consumption throughout the year while increasing your family’s comfort levels.
