For home heating we supply high quality Trane furnaces, heat pumps and air handlers.

Gas Furnaces

Todays gas furnaces are highly efficient at producing heat. Leading furnaces, like the Trane units we sell, can convert over 90% of the gas consumed into heat. The Federal government requires that all new furnaces have a minimum efficiency level of 78% AFUE.

On a cold day nothing compares to the instant warm air a gas furnace produces.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps can be the utmost in efficiency for a heating unit. They are essentially an air conditioning unit working in reverse exchanging the cool air from inside and replacing it with warmer air from outside. In the summer they reverse the flow and become your AC unit for cooling.

During the coolest times of the year a heat pump alone may not be sufficient for your heating needs. A dual system that includes another heat sources, such as a furnace, may be needed. The heat pump can work well during milder weather with the furnace blasting the heat when it’s really needed.

Heat Pump vs Furnace?

There are a lot of factors that go into making this decision. Fuel costs vs. electricity costs play a big role as well as the area to be heated. When selecting your heating system the experts at Clear the Air can help you make the best decision.

Air Handlers

An air handler is the indoor portion to a central heating and cooling system. It does the job of circulating the warm and cool air around your home. Your air handler must be properly matched to your heat pump and the size of the area being heated and cooled in order to maximize the efficiency of the total system.

Maintaining an Efficient Heating System

Keeping your heating system running smoothly is very important for minimizing your energy costs. Regular maintenance and seasonal tune ups by the technicians at Clear the Air will help to keep everything operating at peak efficiency.
