4. ABOUT US What is NATE? NATE is an acronym for North American Technician Excellence. Why Should I Ask For A NATE-Certified Technician? NATE's HVAC and HVAC/R testing validates the technician's knowledge. The NATE tests are rigorous, knowledge-based tests that represent what technicians encounter. Consumer Reports said, “It’s a plus if a technician is NATE-certified.” EPA tells consumers to ask if a contractor’s technicians are NATE-certified. What is a Trane Comfort Specialist? The Trane Comfort Specialist designation is not easy to come by. Dealers qualify for this honor on a yearly basis by meeting the Trane Company's stringent standards for professionalism and technological expertise.

6. Installing a New System Installation: The complete process A quality installation begins with a professional design Unfortunately, some contractors merely size a new system based on the old system’s capacity rather than completing a professional design. What if your home’s heating and cooling needs have changed since the last system was installed many years ago? What if the original system was not sized properly to begin with? Guesswork can lead to under-sizing your new system which can reduce the comfort of your home. Even worse, over-sizing will add unnecessary expense to the job’s cost and may contribute to moisture-related problems down the line. It takes time and expertise to complete a professional load calculation and system design. Contractors lacking in the necessary technical skills or who are just interested in making a “fast buck” may try to convince you this is not important. Would you want to ride an elevator or and airplane that was not professionally designed? Quality design is important in virtually every product we use including heating and air conditioning systems.
7. The Load Calculation The Load Calculation is where it all begins Year-round, comfort is the goal. In the summer, your air conditioning system not only cools your home’s air (sensible cooling), it removes moisture (latent cooling). In the winter, your heating system must keep you comfortable without causing high utility bills. Manual J is the official standard for residential load calculation and is required by many building codes around the country. We will carefully measure your home and evaluate its levels of insulation. Windows’ sizes and quantity will be noted, levels of infiltration will be estimated and internal loads including lighting and kitchen appliances will be taken into consideration. A computerized analysis will be completed that indicates just how much heating and/or cooling capacity your new system should provide. After the installation of your new system is completed, you will receive a copy of the computerized load calculation for your records.
9. Selecting the right equipment Heating and air conditioning equipment comes in many capacities, configurations and efficiencies. It’s important we present you with the right equipment that will be compatible with your home’s heating and cooling needs. Once again, it’s difficult for a contractor to select the right equipment if an accurate Manual J load calculation has not been completed. The Right Equipment for You
10. Don’t forget about your home’s duct system All too often, old heating and air conditioning systems are replaced without giving any thought to the old duct work. Properly installed and maintained duct work can last twenty years or more. But time, heat and humidity can degrade your duct’s insulation. Over the years, your ducts may have collected contaminates that should be removed. Think about it. Have some of the rooms in your home been less comfortable than others? Too hot or too cold. Now is the time to evaluate the amount of air each room should get and verify that your duct system is clean and configured to deliver the right air to the right rooms. It may even be time to consider replacing your duct system. You won’t get the full benefit of your new heating and/or air conditioning system if your ducts need repairing or replacing. Grilles and registers provide for room air distribution Your return air grille(s) and supply air registers play an important role in providing heating and air conditioning comfort. There are times when simply replacing one or more of these devices can cause a noticeable improvement in your home’s thermal comfort. Return grilles that are undersized can reduce the efficiency of your air conditioning system as well as the comfort in your home. We will verify that these devices are sized and operating properly and may make suggestions for improved performance. Full Service Installation
