Controlling your Climate

Your home's HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning) is complex... there is no guessing involved.  The size of the condenser, air handler and coil are critical to optimize your system's efficiency.  Insulation, exterior finish, size and type of windows, insulation package, and the direction your house faces all play an important part in equipment sizing, and we haven't even gotten to supply and return placement.  Again, it is complex.  If you have questions or concerns, ask to meet your builder's HVAC subcontractor, and get clarification.  There is nothing worse than an uncomfortable climate in your home.

How well do you understand your home's mechanics?

A good builder will explain to you all of your home's mechanical features--plumbing, electrical, HVAC-- including operation, size, type, quantity, and quality of the material used.
