Have a question about heating or cooling? We're here to answer those questions for you....
"Is there anything you can do about lingering odors?"
Answer: It is not unusual for smells to linger in a home. New carpet, fresh paint, even the fish you cooked last Thursday can be the source of unpleasant orders. Many people use scented air fresheners and deodorizers to solve the problem, but these products simply mask smells. Also, these products may contain chemicals that contribute to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). The best way to clear the air of odors and odor-causing compounds is to install a whole-house air purification system.
Promotes Better Health
Air purification can be crucial to your health and to the health of each of your family members. Studies conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency indicate that the air inside the average home can be two to five times-and occasionally up to 100 times-more polluted than the air outside.
Pollutants can come from many places in and around your home. Chemicals in carpets, household cleaners, furniture and building materials all contribute to poor IAQ, as do dust mites, animal dander and mold. An air purification system can reduce and even destroy these potentially harmful pollutants.
We offer a great solution
PureAir air purification system in the answer! The PureAir system uses patented photocatalytic technoloy to filter, purify and freshen the air, and it combines all these capabilitits into one integrated system. For best results, combine the PureAir system with an ultraviolet germicidal light, which inhibits the growth of biological contaminants like mold spores and bacteria.
Energy Efficiency is key with PureAir-in fact it costs the same as using a 40-watt light bulb.

"Will my new furnace work differently than my old one?"
Answer: Maybe. When you install a new indoor comfort system in your home, you'll probably notice it operates differently than your old system. Radical changes have taken place in the technology of the comfort industry in recent years. These changes will affect how your system operates, and also may affect what you notice about your system.
High efficiencies
Higher efficiencies in furnaces and air conditioners have become increasingly important over the past few years. Consumers, government agencies, and manufacturers all see higher efficiencies as a way to conserve our natural resources while reducing consumer energy costs. Today, furnaces are designed with high-efficiency in mind.
To achieve higher efficiency, new gas furnaces must move more air over the heat exchanger than older furnaces so that as much heat as possible can be sent throughout the house.
The air that comes out of our furnace registers may not seem as warm as with your old furnace, but it will heat your house just as well. In fact, better airflow can improve overall comfort by reducing air temperature differences from the ceiling to the floor, throughout your entire home.
Add-on air conditioning
Modern furnaces are designed to handle high-efficiency air conditioners and must have blowers that are efficient yet powerful enough to accommodate the add-on cooling. Since cold air is much heavier than warm air, your system needs an extra boost from the blower to get cool air throughout your home to provide you with efficient total comfort during the summer.
Higher airflows required for cooking operation can con tribute to unfamiliar sound levels when your new furnace is operating, because in older homes air duct systems were designed for heating only.
Contact us to evaluate your entire heating and cooling system. Sometimes minor adjustments and modifications can be made to existing duct systems to maximize comfort and minimize sound levels.
These changes are a small price to pay for the high efficiencies that mean significantly lower fuel bills and improved total comfort.

"Why should I choose a variable speed furnace for my home?"
Answer: There are many reasons for choosing a variable speed furnace but the main reason is comfort. The term "variable speed" refers to the furnace's fan motor, which moves at different speeds to precisely control the flow of heated and cooled air throughout your home. Better airlfow control means a better balance of temperature and humidity.
How It Works
For any furnace, providing maximum comfort means achieving the proper amount of airflow. This is true for both heating and cooling operation.
Unlike conventional single-speed motors, a variable speed motor runs at a wide range of speeds. Using intelligent technology, it continually monitors incoming data from your heating and cooling system, and it automatically makes the adjustments necessary to meet y our comfort needs.
The motor varies the amount of air circulated, compensating for factors like dirty filters by increasing speed. Put imply, it delivers just the right amount of air necessary to proved the desired level of heating and cooling comfort.
More comfort and efficiency, less sound
More Comfort:
Variable speed home comfort systems precisely regulate airlfow to provide better control of temperature, humidity and air distribution.
More efficiency:
Compared to a conventional single-speed furnace, a variable speed furnace performs better and uses about 2/3 less electricity. During cooling operation, variable speed technology typically results in an efficiency gain of 1 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). The higher the SEER, the lower our utility bills.
Less sound:
A variable speed furnace also ensures quieter operation. At Unique, we call this Silent Comfort-a technology that combines variable speed operation with sound-reducing design. The furnace slowly ramps up to speed, so there's no sudden "kick" or blast of air at start-up.
Better indoor air quality:
Cleaner air. When the furnace is not heating or cooling and the fan is in constant operation (indicated by the "Fan" setting on your thermostat), a variable speed furnace will continue to slowly and inexpensively circulate air throughout your home. This allows your filters to capture more contaminants (because air is constantly passing through them), so you can breathe easier.
Enhanced humidity control:
When moisture levels are high, there's a higher potential for mold growth and other pollutant problems. Compared to a sing-speed furnace, a variable speed furnace is more effective at drawing moisture for the air for improved air quality and comfort.
