Why is it important to choose a knowledgeable and reliable contractor?
Improper installation and maintenance procedures lead to reduced equipment life; for example, compressors have a 15 year life expectancy, but most don’t last 10 years. Moreover, ductboard with liners and flex duct systems reduce efficiency by up to 33% & 50%, respectfully, while producing inferior air quality. Most of the expensive homes, for instance, are installed with inferior air conditioning, duct distribution systems, and insulation systems that lead not only to poor performance but also to unhealthy air quality. In addition, very few homes utilize radiant barrier technology to lower utility bills for the homeowner – heat transfer occurs by convection, conduction and, more importantly, radiation – all the insulation in the world won’t stop radiant energy from infiltrating your home. In short, properly installing & maintaining quality air conditioning, duct distribution, and insulation systems secure the homeowner’s health while saving thousands of dollars in lower utility bills.
