What is two-stage heating?

Furnaces with two-stage heating can heat at two levels of output, high for cold winter days and low for mild ones. Most of the time, your home’s heating furnace can be left on the low setting, which allows your two-stage unit to operate for longer periods of time. There are many other benefits of two-stage heating like more even heat distribution, fewer temperature changes, quiet operation, increased air filtration, and better energy efficiency.

How do I know which indoor air quality product will work best for my home?

We recommend that you meet with one of the Gordon Air Conditioning technicians and have them evaluate your home and current indoor comfort system. Our professionals will help you choose which equipment will best suit your requirements, preferences, and budget.

How does an air conditioner work?

Many homeowners believe that their air conditioning units make the air inside of their homes cooler, but what it actually does is remove the heat from your home and move it to the hot air outside. The hot air extracted from your home goes through a cold indoor coil, where the refrigerant in the lines sends the heat to the coil in your outdoor unit.

What is the minimum energy efficiency standard for air conditioners in my state?

The Department of Energy increased the minimum efficiency levels for air conditioners, heat pumps, and air-packed units. These new efficiency levels are determined by region and carry varying requirements based on location. The Gordon Air Conditioning crew can answer any questions you may have regarding the minimum level and will let you know which HVAC systems are available.

How can I confirm the model and serial numbers for my cooling unit?

These numbers can be found on a nameplate or sticker located near your system’s service panel. M/N stands for the model number and S/N stands for the serial number.

How do I know what equipment size I should purchase?

To learn what HVAC equipment size you should purchase, contact the Gordon Air Conditioning experts to come out and perform a calculation. We’ll take a look at square footage, insulation value, the amount of insulation, and a number of other factors.

Can frost, ice, dirt, or other debris keep the outdoor unit of my cooling system from operating effectively?

Yes, frost, dirt, ice, and other debris can hinder your system’s ability to work efficiently. Therefore, it’s imperative to keep up with your unit’s maintenance to avoid issues.

What is two-stage cooling?

Two-stage cooling means that your air conditioner has two levels of operation. When the warmer months come around, your system’s setting is the highest, and vice versa in the colder months. Your two-stage cooling unit may have a quieter cooling system, greater efficiency, and better humidity control.

Why is my system freezing up?

Dirty filters, low refrigerant, dirty evaporator coils, or a faulty blower motor could all be reasons for your system freezing up. Give Gordon Air Conditioning a call to learn how we can help.

What is the best thermostat to use for my cooling system?

Identifying the best thermostat for your home comes with a lot of considerations, which is why it’s nice to have a wide selection of choices from Gordon Air Conditioning. We’ll work closely with you to determine which programmable or non-programmable thermostat best meets your needs, budget, and preferences.

What is a heat pump?

Despite its name, heat pumps meet both your heating and cooling needs all year round. Heat pumps are very efficient and often produce more heat than the energy it requires.

When replacing the outdoor unit, should the indoor unit also be replaced?

At Gordon Air Conditioning, we suggest that you replace your indoor system as well because you can get a newer system that produces more heat without needing more energy and all outdoor cooling systems have a matching indoor unit that is created to ensure complete, efficient performance.

How will I know if my solar HVAC system is performing to its potential?

There are performance records that should come with each system. By viewing the performance records, you’ll learn more about the unit’s status, its energy production, and its environmental benefits.

Do I need to clean my solar modules?

Rain typically cleans your solar modules, but if you live in a dry, dusty area of Florida, you may need to spray the module with water to improve its performance. Detergents and high-pressure hoses should never be used.

What is the best thermostat for my home comfort system?

The best thermostat heavily depends on your HVAC equipment. Gordon Air Conditioning has programmable and non-programmable thermostats that may help the efficiency of your HVAC systems. Learn more about our available products by giving us a call.

How can I control my energy bills?
