Thank you for visiting our guidespot
Our purpose is to help people who are looking for better ways to heat and cool their homes and avoid the many compromises being made when it comes to heating and air conditioning systems.
You may have experienced some of these compromises such as:
- the discomfort of being warm one minute, then cold the next
- room to room temperature variations
- dry air
- drafts
- utility bills that are higher than necessary
- poor indoor air quality
- running out of hot water in the middle of a bath or shower
- unsafe systems
This site will show you how to avoid these problems and acquaint you with high-performance heating and air conditioning systems and the many surprising choices that exist to enhance your living environment.
Today there are many options available to you;- radiant floor heating
- heated towel racks
- individual room temperature control
- abundant hot water for showers and baths
- humidity control
- air purification systems that do what they were designed to do
- high performance/long lasting/integratedsystems
- green construction
- environmentally-sensitive neighborhoods
Central Air Conditioning
A central air conditioning uses a network of ducts that move cooled or heated air to every room of the house.
These systems are usually a combination heating and cooling unit, depending on your geographic location.
Because I live in upstate New York, an air conditioning system is usually added to the central (ducted) heating system.
For those who have a hot water or steam heating system another option is a high velocity air conditioning (mini duct) system.
The ducts to the rooms are only 2” inside diameter and are fairly easy to get into an existing home without disturbing the architectural integrity of the home.
These systems are becoming popular in new home construction as well.
Ductless Split Systems
Another system that is becoming popular is the ductless mini split air conditioner system. These units have two components; the indoor section is a low profile unit that contains a fan and cooling coil that hangs on a wall inside the house and an outdoor section (compressor) that usually sits on the ground outside the house.
The indoor and outdoor units are connected with copper tubing that carries refrigerant (a cooling agent) that is used to remove heat from the home.
