Riverton Air Conditioning & Heating

You will be Very impressed with the team to do a full install of heat and AC. Fair and honest quote, unlike several of the other companies that I requested a quote from. They were on time, worked hard, and very professional.

We do a good job with the heating system installation.

Yes we do.

1. Determine airflow requirements. 2. Determine duct routing and available clearance. 3. Size duct to fit, at appropriate velocity and pressure drop for the application. 4. Determine appropriate air distribution devices, and size for adequate throw, pressure drop, and sound generation. 5. Send the client an invoice. 6. Repeat.

The standard unit of refrigeration in vogue is ‘ton refrigeration’ or simply ‘ton'. It is denoted by TR. It is defined as - The rate of production of cold at which 1 US tonne of water (2000 lbs or 907 kg) get converted into ice in 24 hours at 32°F (0°C). Before refrigeragion the water should be at 0°C & also after conversion in ice , ice should be at 0°C. 1 TR = 12000 Btu/hr = 3024.2 kCal/hr = 3.5 kW

I would say that like most technology, it can be used in a healthy or un-healthy way. On the "healthy" side: It allows us to live more comfortably wherever we are, relieving stress. It allows us to live in closed building that prevent bites from mosquito and other disease bearing insects. It allows us to inhabit areas of the planet that normally would not be habitable...think of Houston. How many people could really live in Houston without A/C? Certainly not the current population levels. It provides a means to filter the air we breath, thus relieving allergy and asthma symptoms. I'm sure you heard stories from pre-1950's when people with allergies would have to move up north or out west during the summer to a place where they could breath.

It's possible to air condition any building, as long as there's an energy source available, usually electrical power. But sheetmetal offers very little resistance to heat transfer, so it would be wise to furr out the walls and install insulation in the stub cavities and then sheetrock the wall, or some version of that, and then provide insulation either below the roof or on top of it. The required air conditioning system would be much, much smaller in a insulated building than in an uninsulated one.

From a strictly which is better point of view I would say an electric furnace is better. There is no carbon monoxide to worry about, there are less parts to go wrong and they are typically cheaper to fix when they do break. However, electrical furnaces take a ton of electricity. The rough equivalent of an 80,000 BTU, 80% efficiency gas furnace would be an 18 kilowatt strip heater which would require an 80 amp circuit. Even with solar power you would either need a very large solar array or extremely cheap electricity to make it cost effective. Heat pumps are usually the way to go in areas where gas is not available. The heat pump does most of the heavy lifting and strip heat is used as backup.

Yes, air conditioning installation is important. Installation protects the machine and allows the machine to be installed where it is going to give the required ventilation into the room or any facility. The drainage water from the air conditioner also has to be placed where neccessary while installing to avoid water messing up the inside of the room or facility.

It is okay to let the air conditioner on for longer run but unfortunately the residential air conditioners are not designed for consistent long hour operations and they may have higher wear-n-tear. There would be no major impact on human health for long exposure to air conditioned environment but yes, there are few as follows: - Air conditioners remove humidity from the room so skin dryness may happen - Hair quality may deteriorate due to cold environment - Biological pollutants become dormant in normal air because of lower temperature but when you take breadth, they become active and make you sick - Respiratory illness may become higher.

The term HVAC is just an Acronym …Refrigerator is an actual product that of course you know , because you use it everyday . HVAC is a term coined by the Air Conditioning industry. The four letters stand for “ (H)Heating ,(V) venting , and (AC) Air Conditioning , The product we know as the Refrigerator, Uses a process called refrigeration and is completely similar to Air Conditioning in that process but different , that's why people in the know whom actually deal with both and the term to HVAC , as in ,I'm a service technician and I service “HVAC and Refrigeration “.

Electric heating ALWAYS works (even when you don’t want it to work). Reducing the resistance of a load may increase the current (and increase the dissipated heat), but the power source must be able to supply such current.
