Q: Is a bigger furnace or air
conditioner better?
A: No it is not. Bigger is not always better in the HVAC
industry. A larger air conditioner uses more electricity and
costs more to purchase, install and upkeep. A properly sized
unit will provide the most efficient energy use and most
comfort in your home. When buying a home comfort system,
selecting the right size is crucial. For instance, an air
conditioner that is too large will cool your home quickly
but you still may not feel comfortable. It will satisfy the
thermostat before it can remove sufficient moisture from the
air. However, a system that is too small just cannot get the
job done. As Trane Comfort Specialists, we can help you
determine the right size system for your home comfort needs.
Q: How Often should I change my filters?
A: Check filters every two months and replace as needed.
Q: I would like to upgrade to a new high efficiency
furnace or air conditioner. Do you offer financing?
A: Yes we offer financing for all types of situations call
Banner Heating and Air Conditioning Co. to ask about your
specific needs.
Q: I like to keep my house very cool in the summer would
a new unit help with costs?
A: If you have a 15 year old unit it could be as little as 6
SEER. Most people set their thermostat around 78 degrees in
the summer to save costs and with a new Trane high
efficiency air conditioner you could save as much as $600
per summer on a typical 4 ton unit while having your
thermostat set a few degrees colder.
Q: What are the benefits of a programmable thermostat?
A: A Programmable thermostat is programmed for when you
leave your house and then return home. The thermostat turns
of the furnace during the hours you are not home so that
energy is not used to keep the house warm while you are at
work. The thermostat will then turn back on 30 minutes
before you come home so your house is at the perfect
temperature when you are home. These thermostats save up to
15% on your energy bills during the winter and 10% in the
summer.
Q: Why are furnaces and air conditioners so noisy?
A: They are not noisy if you install new Trane components in
your system. Old units were not built with the quality
materials that are used today. Trane also installs sound
insulators on the compressor as well as a weather guard top
that not only reduces noise but increases the life of the
unit by not letting debris get into the system.
Q: When I am on vacation should I turn off my furnace to
save energy?
A: Common settings is 85 degrees in the summer if you have
air conditioning and 60 in the winter if you will be gone
for a couple of days. These settings will keep most plants
alive and will keep pipes from freezing and bursting in the
winter.
Q: Do I run any risk by accepting the lowest bid?
A: YES! If a bid comes in 5-10% lower than other companies
it is because they are using inferior products, do not do a
quality installation or are leaving something out of their
bid. Many companies will not pay for permits or schedule the
inspector to come to your house. Banner Heating and Air
Conditioning Co does all the work for you, you just need to
relax and enjoy the comfort and energy efficiency of your
new system.
