Burns & McBride - Heating and Air Conditioning Installations
System Analysis
The first step toward helping you choose the right heating and air conditioning system for your home is to do a complete analysis of your present heating and air conditioning system and of your home to determine the right size equipment for your individual comfort needs.
According to the Department of Energy, a large percentage of people who replace their heating and air conditioning systems don't take the time to get a proper system analysis and end up with the wrong size equipment. This results in higher utility bills, equipment that fails sooner than need be and a system that does not provide the comfort that you expected.
1. Home Introduction
Sharing information with us about how you live in your home and the ways you would like to improve your heating and cooling system will help us design the right system for you and your family. One of our consultants will visit your home at your convenience to learn just what you would like.
2. Measuring Your Home
Choosing the right size heating or A/C system is critical. Most homes have equipment which is too large for the job causing wasted energy and significant comfort issues. Using a sophisticated computer program along with our experience, we will calculate the proper size equipment for your specific needs. This a critical step that many contractors skip and, if not done correctly, can result in a system that runs too often and wastes energy. It can also lead to a system that does not heat or cool your home properly.
3. Ductwork Design
It isn't uncommon for homeowners to mention that the upstairs is warmer than the downstairs in the summer or that some rooms just can't get comfortable. Normally this is because of poorly designed ductwork. It is critical to be sure that they are the correct size and length to deliver the proper amount of heating and cooling. A thorough duct inspection and testing is part of our system analysis and is always necessary prior to any heater or air conditioner installation.
4. System Explanation and Written Proposal
We will explain in detail the features of the system we are recommending and how it will provide you and your family with a more comfortable and healthy living environment. You will receive a detailed written proposal.
5. Payment Options
We understand that this is a major investment. We offer a wide choice of payment options, and we will work closely with you to help you select the one that is best suited to you and your family.
