March 17, 2020

A complex HVAC system can be difficult to understand. To make things easier for both maintenance and repairs, you may wonder if there is a simpler solution for heating and cooling your home. While there isn’t one simple piece of equipment that does everything you need, there are some systems that come quite close to that goal. To help you simplify your Grove City home’s HVAC system, here are some options for combining your heating and cooling equipment. The Mini-Split Heat Pump The simplest way to heat and cool your home is by using a mini-split heat pump. These units remove the need for a separate blower and for complex ductwork. That’s why they are often called “ductless” systems. A mini-split system installed by TechnoAir Heating, Cooling and Refrigeration consists of only two components: the compressor/condenser, which is mounted on the exterior of your home, and the air handler, which is mounted on a wall inside your home. These two components work together to produce both cool and warm air and then distribute that air around the room in which the air handler is mounted. Mini-split systems are energy-efficient. In addition to simplifying HVAC repair and maintenance, they can save...

The Best Way to Cool Older Homes

September 18, 2019

For a home without a central duct and air conditioning system, keeping cool in the summer can seem like a challenge. Luckily, there are a variety of other ways you can keep temperatures inside low as it starts to get hot outside. 1.

If your home isn’t well-insulated, large amounts of warm air can be entering through the walls and roof. The attic is the most important part of a home to keep well-insulated. This can help you control the temperature inside your home in both the summer and winter. 2. Install a Mini-Split System Ductless mini-split air conditioners don’t need a central ducting system to work. Rather, they are wall-mounted units that can keep certain zones of your home cool. They are highly energy-efficient and allow you to cool various rooms to different temperatures. Since they are small and are mounted high on the wall, they don’t take up a lot of space in a building. 3. Have an In-Window Air Conditioner In-window air conditioners are less energy-efficient than central units, but they are a great solution for...
