Home Cooling In Arizona – How To Reduce The Load On Your Air Conditioning System

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in Air Conditioning, Arizona Air Conditioning Upgrade Sale, Cooling Tips.

Trane HVAC affects Arizona LifestyleMaintaining A Comfortable Home Against High Temperature Arizona  Summers

Home cooling in Arizona means installing air conditioning equipment that is capable of dealing with sequential months wherein the average temperature exceeds 90-plus degrees. In fact, Phoenix regional homes endure a season wherein heat increase rises well above 100-degrees for up to four consecutive months. It’s the kind of circumstances that make summer comfort almost as important as survival in below zero winter temperatures.

With each passing year it seems Arizona residents are pressed into even more days of unprecedented high heat index numbers. So even though Trane HVAC and other HVAC manufacturers continue to introduce better energy-efficient heat pumps and air conditioners, the cost of staying cool keeps rising. More hours of equipment operation means greater costs for comfort. The following tips show how to reduce the load on your Arizona air conditioning system.

Home Cooling, Reducing Heat In Your Home by Reducing Solar Heat Gain

People enjoy sunshine – even when the associated heat gain prompts increased energy consumption by home air conditioning systems. Weather that enables a wonderful day at the water park also forces higher cooling bills for the homestead. Longer hours of sunshine produce greater accumulation of solar heat gain. In the Arizona summer when the sun is higher in the sky, daylight hours increase and the associated heat gain accumulates even more. So keep the heat out. Here’s how:

  • Install Sunscreens – Perhaps budget conditions forbid installation of window awnings. Take a look at sunscreens as an alternative solution. Crafted from wood panels or louvered slats, sunscreens fit over windows in a manner similar to shutters.
  • Install Window Awnings – Whether crafted from rigid or flexible materials, window awnings reduce the heat that transmits through the windows of Phoenix houses. Even windows facing South or North can benefit from installed window awnings.
  • Overhangs – If a home is already completed, this suggestion doesn’t apply to the circumstance. However, for Arizona homeowners in the process of building, or perhaps doing some major remodeling, crafting wide overhangs will help shield windows and doors from the blistering Phoenix regional summer sunshine.
  • Plant Trees – If planted at a proper distance from the home, trees offer shade and reduced inside heat gain. But some cons exist: Even quick growing trees take many years to reach a height that provides full benefits. Also, if planted too near a home, the roots of the trees can end up causing issues with the foundation.

Home Cooling, Keeping the Heat Out and Reducing Indoors Heat

2013 Tax Credit for AC InstallationStopping solar heat-gain involves external solutions. The second line of defense involves controlling heat gain from within the home. This means reducing indoor heat as well as keeping heat out.

Keeping Heat Out Improves Home Cooling Efficiency…

  • Adequate Home Insulation – To keep a cool home, install sufficient and effective insulation in the walls, the attic, and the crawlspace.
  • Managed Air Flow – Close the windows and doors. Latch them. Proper home cooling demands a tightly sealed home.
  • Leak Prevention – Find the gaps around the doors, windows, vents and electrical outlets. Seal them.

Reducing Indoors Heat Assures More Efficient Home Cooling…

  • Scheduled Applications – Appliances emit heat, some more so than others. Use a timer to schedule the dishwasher so that it only runs during the late evening hours. Plan clothes drying for late night TV time.
  • Remember the “Off” Switch – From lights to televisions, stop burning electricity on devices not in use. Even small appliances resulted in accumulated heat spots.
  • Ventilate – When bathing in hot water, use exhaust fans. Likewise when cooking on the range or even when running the dishwasher.

Home Cooling, Choose the Right Air Conditioning System

Home air conditioning systems strip heat from the inside air. This means more cool for you. But not all systems function with the same efficiency. Every Arizona home is different, and requires a precise cooling configuration of equipment and installation.

Ducted forceAC Service Technician In Arizonad-air systems are the most common method of controlled home cooling. However, many components define the effectiveness of the installed A/C unit. Product selection based upon SEER ratings may seem simple and straightforward, yet the path to energy-efficient home comfort is often clouded by an assortment of additional calculations and considerations.

American Cooling and Heating offers Arizona residents the finest home cooling resources available to the region. Competitive HVAC product and installation prices form the core attraction, but our 100% workmanship guarantee is what ensures that your home cooling equipment functions at a true Energy Star efficiency rating. From energy-efficient heat pumps, to central air conditioning units, ACH supports the full line of Trane home cooling equipment.

Features of the Trane ComfortLink II Thermostat System

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in Arizona Commercial Air Conditioning HVAC, Controls and Switches, Thermostats and Controllers.

Nexia Home AutomationTrane ComfortLink II Thermostat System Receives Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Award

In October of 2010, Popular Mechanics announced a positive first look at the soon-to-release Trane ComfortLink II thermostat unit. Public interest immediately followed the announcment. But face it: Any time an HVAC manufacturing company or any other company picks up a Breakthrough Award from a publisher known for recognizing world-changing technology, homeowners and business owners will begin to take serious notice.

Public release of this new Trane A/C temperature control product wouldn’t happen before early 2011. But the news was out. Trane was about to release the most advanced home comfort device of modern technology. Highlighted by a seven-inch interactive control screen, this innovative heating and cooling control unit offered:

  • A touch screen with high-definition color display
  • Central HVAC planning control via an integrated calendar
  • Simplicity of use with a focus on fast-paced home lifestyles
  • Intuitive programming features
  • Automated service reminders
  • Onboard daily, weekly and monthly runtime monitoring
  • A personalized experience
  • AND more.

Six Years of Trane ComfortLink II Satisfaction and Improvements

When it comes to innovation, new technology, and product reliability Trane has always been in the forefront of home air conditioning solutions. In 2010, Popular Mechanics proclaimed Trane heating and cooling products among “The Year’s 10 Most Transformative Products.” But that was six years ago.

What about now?

What about 2016 HVAC applications?

Has, through the years, the technology that drives the Trane ComfortLink II home thermostat control unit proven durable as well as successful?

Well. First off, the ComfortLink II home control unit has never been considered a typical thermostat. It came out as a unit that served as a one-of-a-kind zoning and controls HVAC product manager. When coupled to a wireless in-home router via a personal app, the system enables instant access and control over the installed ComfortLink system. Homeowners can even view and manage the comfort level of individual rooms within the home. And it is custom to personal taste. With ComfortLink, homeowners can go light with simple thermostat controls or they can go deep by viewing and managing home humidity, indoor air quality and the temperature management of individual rooms.

But go even deeper, Trane ComfortLink II functions also include on-screen tracking of current weather alerts and 5-day weather forecast for their precise location, all of this completed by an up-to-minute radar image of current conditions.

So what defines the distinctions between then and now, 2011 and 2016, modern heat pumps versus aged air conditioning systems, and current WiFi technology versus previous WiFi technology. One immediate fact surfaces: the performance of WiFi-based communication systems. For any form of digital communication, speed is the primary factor of increased product performance.

In March 2003, 3G came out as a new standard in mobile phone network technology. Users received greater data bandwidth, quicker web browsing and image-based functionality. It marked a giant step in the evolution of camera phones. Then along toward the end of 2008, WiMax networks made the scene. Shortly thereafter, during 2009 and 2010, 4G.LTE provided a considerable increase in performance, reliability and usability. And now we stand with 5G pushing around the corners. And on the side of land-based communications, Google Fiber excites millions of users with the prospects of a new and improved land speed.

What does all this mean when looking at the Trane ComfortLink II home thermostat system? Users gain improved functionality, greater speed, and quicker data feedback. So let’s close by zooming in on the current:

Trane ComfortLink II Thermostat SystemComfortLink™ II XL950

Wi-Fi Thermostat

IAQ Trane HVAC Indoor Air Quality Products

IAQ Trane HVAC, An Integral Component in the Trane Air Conditioning Product Line

Winter! It’s a great time to take a look at the IAQ Trane HVAC product line of systems designed to manage home indoor air quality. Winter! It’s a time when Arizona homeowners spend more time inside. Winter! It’s also a time when we must recognize that indoor comfort is more than mere temperature management.

Whole-home Trane air filtration systems address comfort, humidity, and the growing demand for clean air and a healthier home environment. Problem is: no-one, including Arizona homeowners, appreciates high-pressure air conditioning sales tactics. Even if the need for quality indoor air is a prevalent condition within the home, American Cooling and Heating technicians are trained to be cautious in the presentation of IAQ technology.

Some Arizona residents don’t care about the current trend in IAQ products. And that is fine. We don’t push for sales. But, if a homeowner has an interest in maintaining a healthier home environment, the techs at ACH are here to share information on the various Trane HVAC IAQ products available to your Arizona home.

At your convenience, please request additional information on installation of advanced IAQ Trane HVAC products.

Consumer Trane Indoor Air Quality Product Awareness

Face it: Consumer awareness of current IAQ air conditioning technology often lacks full understanding. This makes consumer clean air education a primary concern, but only if and when you as the Arizona homeowner express a genuine interest in a healthier home environment. Installing a whole-home clear air system into a household that comes complete with two indoor cats, a Labrador retriever, and no concern for allergic reactions is not cost-efficient. Although the air cleaning system would do its job, the overabundance of what amounts to industrial-strength particulate matter would result in continuous system clogging.

Installing IAQ Trane HVAC products stands under the expectation that the homeowner will work with the system, that the Arizona homeowner recognizes a problem and that he or she purposes to find a reliable solution. Clean air products are designed to perform specific functions, and most often those functions best suit a home where clean-and-tidy includes the elimination of excessive indoor pollutants. This says nothing bad about pets, smoking, or any other particular home condition. It merely acknowledges that quality indoor air can only be achieved when the homeowner also accepts the need for certain changes in their indoors lifestyle.

As a professional Arizona air conditioning installation company, American Cooling and Heating works to ensure that homeowners understand industry standard clean air terminology such as antimicrobial, cfm, HEPA, MERV, and VOC (volatile organic compound). However, our A/C techs are trained to avoid pronouncing opinions based upon visual judgments of the home. This does not mean that your ACH HVAC representative ignores signs of allergies and/or trouble-symptoms associated with the home air conditioning units. But it does mean that we want satisfied customers who buy from need and desire rather than hard-sell tactics.

If you have a need, and if you have an interest, and if your Arizona home environmental conditions make sense for installing IAQ Trane HVAC products, the techs here at American Cooling and Heating have the knowledge, the equipment and the installation skill that is necessary to ensure that your Arizona house gets properly equipped for clean air and a healthier home environment.

Six Common Air Pollutants

National Ambient Air Quality standards cover six frequent air pollutants that appear routinely across the United States (1). These “criteria pollutants,”

  1. Lead
  2. Carbon monoxide
  3. Ground-level ozone
  4. Particle pollution
  5. Nitrogen oxides
  6. AND Sulfur oxides.

Contaminate indoor air quality, hinder the reality of a healthier home environment, and sometimes cause direct property damage. Most widespread of the six: particle pollutions and ground-level ozone. Every home has some measure of clear air contamination, but when limits of pollution exceed the NAAQ primary standards, your Arizona home may be in need of an installed Trane HVAC IAQ solution.
