Do the basics
Heating ventilation and air conditioning systems are complicated networks of machinery that should be serviced by a certified professional. However, if your system seems to be malfunctioning, you can try a few basic steps, which may correct your problem, prior to calling a service professional. If you do not feel comfortable performing any of these tasks, call Novell Custom Heating and Air Conditioning Company.
Disconnect and reconnect your indoor and outdoor switches.
Make sure your circuit breakers are in the ON position.
Make sure your air filters are clean.
Open supply and return vents and make sure they are unobstructed.
Check thermostat settings.
Make sure system switch is on appropriate COOL or HEAT setting.
Efficiency and cost savings
Purchasing a new system, especially if your existing one is old, inefficient, or in need of repair, can deliver long-term benefits. Modern systems can be up to 60% more efficient than those from a decade ago.
Get the facts from an expert
There are many systems to choose from today. Novell Custom Heating and Air Conditioning Company can help you decide on the system that best fits your needs. We use the latest technology and consider factors like home size, layout, climate, and energy costs.
Schedule your in-home evaluation
Factors include climate, home size, insulation, roof type, number of windows, and occupancy. Novell Custom HVAC uses Wrightsoft™ load calculation software to determine the correct size for your system.
It’s all about the air ducting
Installing a new system involves air ducting, refrigerant lines, wiring, thermostats, drainage, and proper testing. Air ducting is critical for delivering and returning air efficiently throughout your home.
Start with a detailed inspection
A thorough inspection is crucial to ensure your system is properly sized and installed. We check ducting, wiring, refrigerant lines, and more.
It’s all about variability
Using a variable-speed furnace or air handler helps reduce humidity by maintaining airflow over the coil, improving comfort and efficiency.
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and SEER2
SEER measures cooling efficiency. SEER2 updates this with more realistic testing conditions, providing a better understanding of a system’s true efficiency.
EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) and EER2
EER measures cooling efficiency under specific conditions. EER2 updates this with new testing protocols to better reflect real-world performance.
HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) and HSPF2
HSPF measures heat pump heating efficiency. HSPF2 updates the metric for modern equipment and new testing standards.
Cleaner heating for our air district
Ultra Low NOx furnaces produce fewer nitrogen oxide emissions, improving air quality and complying with South Coast AQMD requirements. These are essential in areas with strict air quality regulations.
Advanced refrigerants for modern systems
A2L refrigerants like R32 and R454B replace R-410A, offering lower global warming potential and higher efficiency. However, they are mildly flammable and require special handling, leak detection, and ventilation systems to ensure safety.
