Zoning System
Business Toolkit

Zoning System

HVAC Zoning Systems are designed to control the temperature of individual rooms or "zones" in a home or building. The system divides the entire space into separate areas that can be controlled independently, allowing users to customize their comfort levels and save energy. Each zone typically has its own thermostat, which communicates with the main HVAC system to change the airflow, temperature, and humidity levels in that particular area. The zoning system also includes dampers installed in the ducts that open and close to direct conditioned air into each selected zone. This allows you to choose which specific areas receive heated or cooled air.

Two-Stage Heating
Business Toolkit

Two-Stage Heating

Two-stage heating is a type of HVAC system that uses two different levels or stages of energy output to more efficiently heat and cool your home. The first stage is the lower, “eco” setting where the system operates at a lower capacity and helps keep your home comfortable without using as much energy. When the temperature in your home dips below a certain threshold, the system will automatically switch to the second stage which is the higher, “comfort” setting. This setting uses more energy and helps heat your home faster and more effectively. Two-stage heating systems are also much quieter than single-stage systems, making them even more desirable.

Scroll Compressor

Scroll Compressor

A Scroll Compressor, also known as a spiral or helical rotor compressor, is a mechanical device used to compress air or other gases in the form of a spiral-shaped rotary mechanism. It works by trapping pockets of air between two intermeshing scrolls, which are able to rotate in opposite directions. The trapped pockets of air then move up the spiral of the intermeshing scrolls as they rotate. As this happens, the volume of air between the scrolls is reduced, creating a decrease in pressure that forces more air into the compressor's intake. The compressed air then exits through an outlet port at a higher pressure than when it entered. Scroll compressors are widely used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and other applications where compressed air is needed.

SEER

SEER

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and is a measure of the efficiency of an air conditioner or heat pump system over an entire season. It is a ratio of the amount of cooling or heating provided by a system compared to the amount of energy used to run it. Higher SEER ratings indicate more efficient systems, while lower SEER ratings indicate less efficient systems.

Single-Stage Heating
Business Toolkit

Single-Stage Heating

Single-stage heating is a type of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system that uses one stage of operation to provide consistent temperatures in the home. In this system, a single furnace or heat pump works at full capacity all the time regardless of the temperature outside. This type of heating is typically used in milder climates where the temperature does not fluctuate drastically throughout the year.

Split System
Business Toolkit

Split System

A split system in HVAC is an air conditioning system that is composed of two separate components; an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler. The outdoor condenser is responsible for the cooling and condensing of the refrigerant, while the air handler is responsible for the circulation and filtration of the air within the space.

R410 Refrigerant
Business Toolkit

R410 Refrigerant

R410A refrigerant is a type of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant used in air conditioning systems and heat pumps. It is also known as Puron or Genetron R410A. This refrigerant was developed as a replacement for the ozone-depleting R-22 refrigerant, which is being phased out due to its harmful effects to the environment.

All-In-One or Packaged System

An All-In-One or Packaged system is a complete home security system that includes all the components needed to keep your home secure. This type of system typically includes a control panel, motion detectors, door and window sensors, key fobs, interior/exterior cameras, sirens, strobe lights, and other items. These components are designed to work together through a single interface, such as an app or web browser. This type of system allows you to monitor and control your home security from anywhere in the world.

Pleated Filter
Business Toolkit

Pleated Filter

A pleated filter is a type of air filter that is composed of several layers of pleated fabric or paper which is folded like an accordion. These filters are designed to capture airborne particles, such as dust, pollen, and other small particles, from the air that passes through it. Pleated filters are used in many air-handling systems, such as air conditioners, furnaces, and other mechanical ventilation systems.
