We
have successfully completed dozens of residential and commercial
projects over the past 30+ years. Sustaining good indoor air quality,
recommended humidity levels, draft-free warmth, and user -friendly
controlling are inherent to our process.
This page out-lines some secrets that have led to many successful
outcomes for our customers nationwide.
No one manufacturer
offers a line of products that
will deliver the comfort and energy efficient performance that we
expect. We choose equipment from a suite of suppliers, only using
products field tested and proven
reliable, that offer effective
energy management controls and heating units that will operate year
after year with optimum efficiency and sustain the comfort owners
desire.
I need to comment on the over-blown
assesments by ceiling and floor radiant sales folks.
Floor radiant promotes the newness of their products. I’ve been
approached many times over the years to represent floor radiant
products. These products are problematic
because they are 1)
expensive to install, 2)
energy inefficient, 3)
expensive to maintain, and 4)
if there is a leak, it is the jackhammer for repairs. Promotions
say, ”with our ‘new’ systems and plastic pipes there are no leaks”,
but if there is any earth movement - it’s “rain everywhere”, as
an architect from California recently told me. There is nothing
new about floor radiant costs and performance since Frank Lloyd
Wright used this method in the 1940’s when energy cost was no concern.
The biggest argument against
floor radiant products is
they provide no “radiant barrier”
(“Getting
our Game Plan Straight”)
with either floor or ceiling locations - meaning poor comfort around
cold walls and windows and poor energy efficiency.
DO NOT JUST ACCEPT MY
WORD! I offer actual ASHRAE
reaserch and field studies to focus my remarks for the reader. My
comments are not hollow, sales motivated statements with little
or no substance or facts to support them. Read conclusions from
engineering manuals and product installers in the PDF files below.
(see “How
We Do It”)
The ASHRAE engineering data
can be use to assess an efficient design and proper positioning
of heating units and our state-of-the-art computerized control panels
make it easier than ever to have the ultimate in comfort, while
keeping energy and costs down.
