A common issue we encounter as an HVAC contractor in Clover is homes that feel cool but humid. It’s important to understand that air conditioners dehumidify as a byproduct but aren’t dehumidifiers. There are a range of issues that can interfere with dehumidification, and a key one is debris buildup on the evaporator coil. That grime interferes with the exchange of heat energy and results in more moisture in the air than you’re used to.
Many homeowners in our service area get their heating and air conditioning from a heat pump. A heat pump is essentially an AC with a valve that lets the unit run the refrigeration cycle in reverse. That means you’re using the same equipment in winter as in summer. Monitor the system for odd sounds, unpleasant smells, and unusual cycling. These are all indications that there may be a problem with the evaporator coil or the condenser coil or pump.
Installation HVAC Contractor in Clover
If you have an old furnace you’d like to replace, a heat pump is a worthwhile consideration. It will provide both your heating and cooling. It’s just as efficient as cooling a home as an AC. A heat pump also provides more efficient heating than a furnace or boiler. That’s because a heat pump doesn’t generate heat directly. It transfers it from the ambient air to inside your home.
One of the concerns with air-source heat pumps is that they become inefficient in frigid temperatures. That said, many modern systems are efficient down to 25 degrees Fahrenheit, which is fine for Clover. What if you opt for a system that becomes inefficient at 40 or 35 degrees? In that case, we’ll recommend hybrid heating. That’s where we pair a heat pump with a furnace. It’s more expensive up front but is very cost-effective over the life of the equipment.
Our technicians install all manner of HVAC equipment:
Furnaces
UV lamps
Ductwork
Air purifiers
Heat pumps
Thermostats
Air conditioners
Ductless mini-split systems
Seasonal HVAC Tune-up Services
We recommend seasonal HVAC services: once in spring and again in fall. This is good practice even if you have a heat pump that provides both your heating and cooling. Those components run all summer and all winter. It’s important to regularly clean and lubricate them. That can make a significant difference in your annual cooling and heating costs.
Most HVAC warranties require professional maintenance at least once a year. If you ever need to make a claim, you’ll have the documentation necessary for that. Tune-ups also help to avoid sudden breakdowns in the middle of the summer and winter. Most common repair issues are completely avoidable with a preseason inspection and cleaning.
