Friday, November 27th, 2009The part of the air conditioner or heat pump that is located inside the air handler or attached to the furnace. Its primary function is to absorb the heat from the air in your house.
The Proper Indoor Humidity
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009During the heating season the average American home (unhumidified) may have a relative humidity (RH) as low as 13%. Amazingly, that is about one-half of the average RH in the Sahara Desert. The amount of humidity required in a home is dependent to a certain extent on the way it is constructed. A well insulated house with vapor barriers in walls, ceilings and slabs and properly fitting storm doors and windows may need only three gallons of additional moisture per day to maintain the proper relative humidity. A house of similar size but loosely constructed might require five times as much moisture in the same period.
Condenser Coil
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009The outdoor portion of an air conditioner or heat pump that either releases or collects heat, depending on the time of the year.
Benefits of Proper Humidity
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009Dry, thirsty air evaporates moisture from your skin, a cooling process that makey you feel chilly. But, with the humidity raised to recommended levels, you can dial your thermostat down to 68F and still feel comfortable. Heated air dries out wood framing around doors and windows, too. Shrinkage of the wood occurs, leaving spaces that permit cold, outside air to infiltrate the home, lowering the inside temperature and requiring more heating. Proper humidity reduces annoying wintertime static electricity shocks, too.

Monday, November 16th, 2009Ideal for warmer climates, a heat pump is an all-in-one cooling and heating system. During summer months, it works like an air conditioner. It extracts heat from inside your home and transfers it to the outdoor air. When the weather’s cooler, it does the exact opposite, taking heat from outside and moving it inside.
