Frequently Asked Questions

What Do Good Central Air Units Have in Common?

The best ones are efficient, operating on minimal electricity to hold utility bills down. They provide steady, dependable performance year after year when properly maintained. Sound systems are quiet, long-lasting, and low in service needs.

How Can I be Sure My Unit is the Right Size?

An air conditioner that's too small won't keep your home sufficiently cool. But many don't realize that a large system will cycle (turn on and off) more than necessary, wasting expensive energy and possibly putting undue strain on the compressor. Hackney Inc will determine the optimum size for your home by carefully studying your cooling requirements. Window dimensions and exposure. Floor space, insulation, and local climate. Hackney Inc can specify the system's cooling capacity in either Btu/h (British thermal units of heat removed per hour) or refrigeration tons (one ton equal to 12,000 Btu/h).

Which Air Conditioners Are Energy Efficient?

Much like automobile manufacturers, today's air conditioner manufacturers are required by law to evaluate and rate their equipment according to its energy efficiency. This rating is known in the industry as a SEER or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the equipment. Most new homes with central air come equipped with a standard builder's model. However, when replacement becomes necessary, property owners can upgrade their air conditioning by specifying a more energy-efficient system. High SEER models are generally more expensive but can easily make up the difference by reducing your home energy bills over the long run.

Are Some Air Conditioners Built Better Than Others?

The compressor is the heart of a condensing unit. On a hot day, it works long and hard. Hackney Inc. only installs brands with the highly advanced scroll compressor in every condensing unit. The industry recognizes Scroll Compressors as the leader in reliability, efficiency, and quiet operation. Other features include louvered steel cabinets that protect the coils from damage and expensive repair bills.

What do Good Furnaces Have in Common?

The best furnaces are efficient and keep your home warm and comfortable effectively. They provide steady, dependable performance year after year. And they are quiet, long-lasting, and low in service frequency and cost.

Tips to Beat the Heat

Which Furnaces are Energy Efficient?

When a furnace loses or wastes heat, it requires more energy to keep your home warm. Some furnaces lose heat through the walls of the furnace cabinet. Energy-efficient furnaces significantly reduce this loss with a blanket of insulation that lines the inside of the cabinet walls.

When a gas furnace is not in operation, most send a steady, wasteful draft of warm household air traveling up the venting system and out the roof. All Furnaces feature an induced-draft blower that works in conjunction with a hot surface ignition system to pull hot gases through the heat exchanger at a constant and controlled rate of flow. As the burner cycles off, the draft blower stops, keeping the heating air in the system.

Pilot lights also can be wasteful. The electric ignition in many of Ruud's furnaces eliminates the need for a constantly burning pilot. This feature alone gives up to 6% higher efficiency. And in combination with an induced-draft blower, it can improve furnace efficiencies by over 20%.

Most gas furnaces vent combustion by-products and gases, allowing warm air to rise naturally. However, on occasion, proper venting of combustion by-products may be restricted due to blockage, deterioration of venting systems, malfunctions, or other causes.

The Ruud-induced-draft blower maintains a constant draft through the heat exchanger, assuring proper ventilation of the furnace combustion chamber. Ruud also features a pressure switch that continuously monitors venting. If it senses a vent flow restriction, it will automatically shut down your heating system for your safety.

The most efficient furnaces tap the energy of the hot vent gases – which can reach temperatures of 500 degrees Fahrenheit and more.

A high-efficiency furnace generally wears a higher price tag, but it can make up the difference by reducing operating costs over the long run. And with today's consumer interest in efficiency, such equipment enhances the bottom line of your home.

How to choose a Heat Pump System

Heat up the productivity indoors, no matter how cold it gets outside.

Are Some Heat Pumps Better Than Others?

Naturally, energy efficiency is important. But when making your selection, remember low operating costs are little comfort if service and repair bills are high. Don't be sold on energy efficiency alone. Most manufacturers install the Compliant Scroll® Compressor, the industry's best, in its entire residential heat pump line.

What Should I Know About SEER and HSPF?

The Department of Energy requires all air-conditioning and heating equipment manufacturers to evaluate and rate the efficiency of their equipment on a seasonal basis. These ratings are known as the SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, for air conditioners and the HSPF, or Heating Seasonal Performance Factor, for heating equipment.

Heat pumps use both numbers. The higher the SEER or HSPF rating, the more efficient the heat pump. High-efficiency units cost more. But since operating costs are lower, the payback period may be shorter than you realize. A high SEER/HSPF heat pump also can add value to your home, which is important to today's energy-conscious home buyers.
