Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Thermostats and Advanced AC System Controls

Thermostats and controllers at ACHThermostats: The Tools That Manage HVAC Performance

In basic definition, thermostats and advanaced A/C system controls in air conditioning and heat pump systems are on/off switches. The switch functions in relationship to a thermostat’s set point as compared to changes in the indoor air temperature of the associated structure. But there is so much more to HVAC performance than what meets the casual examination.

Herein, the Arizona-based HVAC installation and maintenance group at American Cooling and Heating presents a brief overview of air conditioning and heat pump thermostats & advanced A/C system controls.

Basic Thermostat and A/C System Control Processes

In 1883, Warren S. Johnson invented the first electric room thermostat. The Johnson Controls technology used mercury and electrodes inserted directly through the glass. The systems were accurate within one degree of temperature.

Skip ahead. In modern technology, most 2014 air conditioning and heat pump thermostats operate on low voltage control circuits that pull 24 volts AC from a control transformer installed within the home’s heating or cooling equipment. Low voltage control technology provides a safety advantage that enables the thermostat to operate multiple electromechanical contractors, relays and sequencers at inherently safe voltage. Modern systems also include an integrated “anticipation” function that activates the contacts in a manner that prevents room temperatures from overshooting the desired temperature settings. And all this excludes the growing range of features associated with modern programmable thermostats & controllers.    

Pre-digital Heating and Air Conditioning Thermostats

In 1953, Honeywell introduced the T-86 “Round” thermostat technology (1). This bimetallic-spring regulated room thermostat still controls millions of home heating and cooling systems throughout the world.

Typically mounted on a central wall within the home, the traditional Honeywell thermostat uses a basic dial-type round-controller design that includes two temperature scales and two temperature pointers. The top scale and pointer provides the adjustable components of the system. The bottom scale shows the actual physical temperature in the chosen area of the home. Rotating the pointer in the top scale to the right increases the desired heating requirements. Rotating the pointer in the top scale to the left decreases the desired temperature setting.

In the early years, thermostats designed to control both cooling and heating included a manual setting switch at the base of the unit. This switch, also seen in rectangular units of the pre-digital era, can be moved from heat-to-off-to-cool or back again. The temperature sensor within the units compare the air temperature near the thermostat to the settings of the system and turn on or off the associated heating or cooling equipment as appropriate. The heat/cool/off control switch assures that only the selected equipment can activate at any one time.

Digital Era Thermostats and Controllers

By the year 2005, nearly 97% of U.S. households used installed heating systems (2). During the same time frame, only 75% of the U.S. households used air conditioning. But the world is changing and the changing climates associated with global warming continue to press upward the demand for installed home air conditioning. Modern programmable thermostat and controller technology bestows a dramatic increase in features and capabilities. From simple on/off heating and cooling to controlled ventilation systems and from manual settings to controllers that respond to electricity price signals the home air conditioning and heat pump management system engages in a whole new arena of thermal comfort and energy savings. And then along comes thermostats and advanced air conditioning controls that link directly into the home Internet networking system.

AZ Trane Heat Pump Sales: In Stock, Complete Trane HP Installation Packages

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Installation, AC Service, Heat Pumps, HVAC Sales, Trane.

Trane heat pump sales ACHNATE Certified Arizona HVAC Professional, American Cooling and Heating Offers Valley-Wide Blowout Pricing on All Trane Heat Pump Sales and Installation Packages

It’s here: Tax season and perhaps the biggest Trane heat pump sales and installation promotion of 2014. And American Cooling and Heating holds the keys. Jump on board today.

Phoenix AccuWeather predicts regional temperatures rising into the mid-80s by as early as the first of March 2014 (1). Before the end of April, your daily East Valley lifestyle will include 90-degree heat bursts and boiling winds. By the end of May, Arizona temperatures will climb to 100-degrees daytime and 73-degrees nighttime. If your aged and struggling air conditioning or heat pump system endures on, the first of June 2014 will begin battles against 100-plus degree days and 80-plus degree nights. Taking advantage of the American Cooling and Heating blowout sale pricing on Trane Heat Pump sales and installation seems a reasonable early-warning response.

Tax Refunds and Blowout Trane Heat Pump Pricing Promote Comfortable Living

 According to the IRS 2012 End-of-Year filing statistics, the average U.S. tax refund came in at $2,803 per individual filer (2). The average 2012 individual refund for filers using direct deposit topped $2,900. Both figures were slightly down from reports from 2011. But how do Americans use these funds. For the 2013 filing season, better than 54% of the American public expects to receive a tax refund.

But how is it spent and what are the benefits of redirecting tax rebates toward home heating and cooling requirements?

In a paper reporting on how 1.5 million credit-constrained Americans spend tax refunds, Harvard Business School defines day-to-day necessities as the number one point of expenditure (3). For those in serious financial binds, items such as groceries, gasoline and the charges for rapid-refund deposits make short work of hands-on cash. Yet this tax group accounts for only 1.5% of the population. The bulk of Americans spend tax refunds as follows:

  • 7% Splurge on personal comfort
  • 9% Piddle the cash into nothingness
  • 26% Apply to necessities such as food, clothing, gas and home heating and cooling
  • 28% Invest or save
  • 30% Pay down existing debts or reduce the need for acquiring debt.

Investing in a new energy-efficient ACH installed Trane heat pump makes for wise use of tax refunds. Even if you typically splurge your refund on personal comfort, expenditures that promote better home cooling fits into that concept of personal spending interests. But using your tax refund to take advantage of the 2014 American Cooling and Heating valley-wide Arizona blowout pricing on all Trane heat pump sales and installation packages also helps reduce your acquired debt while meeting a long-term home necessity.  Modern Energy Star certified heat pumps reduce your yearly heating and cooling expenses by 9% over standard new models and 20% and more over what may be in your home. Installing a new Trane HP is an investment that can prevent you from:

  • Piddling away useful cash
  • Missing the meat of necessities on aged, inefficient and energy-devouring air conditioning equipment
  • AND dwindling saving due to unexpected future equipment failures.

The ACH 2014 Arizona binge sale on Trane heat pump installation and products packages provides you with competitive pricing, 24/7 air conditioning services, and the best Trane product support in the business. With a tax refund in the wind, and the urge to spend riding the currents, now is the time to schedule your FREE estimate on the cost of installing a new Trane heat pump at your Phoenix home. Financing available, new/old stock inventory, flexible payment plans, long-term product and service warranties.

Phoenix Arizona Indoor Air Quality – Best Air Filters For Allergies

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Service, Air Cleaners, Air Purification, Cooling Tips.

Arizona Indoor Air QualityImproving Arizona Indoor Air Quality – Effective Air Conditioning and the Best Air Filters For Allergies

If Arizona indoor air quality (IAQ) is critical to advanced education, should it not also provide better in-home comfort and learning? Clean air reduces allergic reactions in children and adults. Regulated indoor air temperatures promote better personal comfort, better thought focus and a better learning environment. Combining air conditioning with the best air purifiers produces the best results.

Throughout the nation, IAQ has become a point of major research. A healthy classroom environment promotes a better learning experience among students, young and old alike. According to Trane for K-12 Schools, the connection between student/teacher performance and effective school ventilation management is a documented point of fact. When students and teachers come together in a structure with efficient air filtration, air conditioning and air ventilation, the learning process becomes easier and more efficient.

If air conditioning and managed air purification works for educational facilities, how much more will the best air filters for allergies provide quality indoor air for your Arizona home?

Improving Classroom Air Conditioning and Air Filtration Efficiency

The interior air pollutants within Arizona educational structures can include chalk dust, cleaning supplies, lab chemicals, mildew, mold, exterior construction-related impurities and a host of student viruses and odors. When packed against classrooms bearing as many as four times the occupants per square foot as your work place, the need for improved Arizona indoor air quality increases at an alarming rate.

Two forms of defense are necessary:

  1. Reduce the contamination from exterior pollution
  2. Improved the indoor air conditioning, air filtration and control of accumulated dust, gases, particles, spores and other allergy inducing pollutants.

Factors affecting the success of IAQ management include humidity and temperature control as well as the best air filters for pollution control. Whole home air filtration and air conditioning systems are designed to prevent “cold and drafty” as well as “hot and stuffy.” Research indicates that temperatures between 67°F and 74°F promote the best comfort levels for increased learning capacity. Temperatures below or above the specs inhibit student learning in crucial areas such as mathematics and reading skills.

Installing Arizona indoor air quality management systems can help your child receive the same in-home learning boast as he or she receives at the school. It may even eliminate your nightly battles to ensure that homework is actually completed as scheduled.

 

Managed Arizona Indoor Air Quality For Your Home

Installing Arizona HVAC systems designed to optimize temperature comfort zones and relative humidity achieves the best classroom results. Allergy prevention is an additional concern. For best Phoenix air conditioning results, consider combining managed Arizona indoor air quality with the best air filter for allergies.

If it works for Phoenix regional schools, it will work for your home.

According to Consumer Reports: Leaks in doors, windows and elsewhere cause your home to recycle outside air ever two hours. Controlling the leaks helps eliminate the issue of poor Arizona indoor air quality. You can repair some air leaks, but what about the leaks associated with damaged ductwork, the leaks that pull dust from beneath your home or the attic space? Do what you can to stop the leaks and then call in a professional to take care of the A/C duct problems. For more details on professional Arizona A/C duct repair, click here:
