1. Question: What is Btu?

    Answer:  Btu is an acronym for British thermal unit,
                      which is a method of measuring heat.  One
                      Btu =  The amount of heat it takes to raise one
                      gallon of water one degree.

2. Question: What is S.E.E.R?

    Answer: S.E.E.R is an acronym for Seasonal Energy
                     Efficiency Ratio.  This is a method of rating
                     the amount of energy being used by your
                     cooling system in relation to your
                     environment.  10 to 17 SEER are the current
                     ratings on late model air conditioners, a
                     higher number reflects an increase in the
                     equipment’s efficiency.

3. Question: What is A.F.U.E.?

    Answer: A.F.U.E. is an acronym for Annual Fuel
                     Utilization Efficiency.  This is a method of
                     rating Btu’s being generated by your heating
                     system versus the amount used to actually heat
                     your home.  80% to 95% are the current
                     ratings on late model furnaces, the higher the
                     percentage increases the efficiency.

4. Question: What is the life span of a central heating &
                air conditioning system?

    Answer: Well, manufacture’s life expectancy on a
                      furnace is generally 15 years and 10 years on
                      an air conditioning unit, but with proper
                      preventative maintenance you can double
                      that, and in some cases even triple it.

5. Question: Which is better, heat pump or natural gas
               furnace?

    Answer: There are a lot of variables to determine which
                      of the two are most suitable for your
                      application, like the cost of utilities and
                      winter season temperatures in your area.  The
                      type of insulation in your home, is also a
                      contributing factor as to which heating
                      source is suitable for you.

7. Question: What does having a routine maintenance
                service plan do for me?

    Answer: Having your central heating & air
                            conditioning system maintained regularly
                            helps to insure longevity and the best
                            performance from your equipment.  When
                            your system is operating at its peak
                            performance it is maximizing your savings
                            towards your utility expense.
