Air Handlers

If you are a Petersburg homeowner, you have probably faced heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system decisions. Perhaps you had to select an HVAC system when you built your Virginia home. Maybe you needed to hire one of our professionals from Synergy Technical Services to perform a repair, inspection, or maintenance on your air conditioner or furnace. Throughout these HVAC experiences, you may not have run across a piece of equipment known as an air handler.

For those who have selected a traditional air conditioner or furnace, you may have no need to purchase or use an air handler. However, if you use a heat pump, an air handler is most certainly part of your HVAC system.

The air handler itself resembles a furnace and resides inside the home. Although traditional furnaces include a blower as part of their package, heat pumps do not. As a result, heat pumps require an air handler to move air around the inside of your home.

One advantage of an air handler is it tends to distribute your heated or cooled air more evenly throughout your home. That means you will have less of a chance of one room being too warm while another is too cold. Additionally, air handlers can deliver a higher level of indoor air quality, because there is less condensation and they are easy to clean.

To learn more about air handlers and which one might be a good fit for your home, call Synergy Technical Services at 804.608.1050. Request handlers service today..

Ductless Systems

If you are considering adding on a room to your Virginia home, you may be wondering about heating and cooling options. Expanding your home’s ductwork can be costly and may overburden your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. You should consider installing an efficient ductless system available today.

Ductless systems can be an excellent solution for extra rooms in your Petersburg home. Since they are not connected to your HVAC system, you can provide customized climate control in selected areas. For instance, you may want to heat or cool a home office only during work hours or an elderly family member may want a bedroom warmer than others residing in the home.

A home’s duct work is often responsible for up to a 30 percent loss of energy, which means a ductless system can reduce your energy bills regularly. Since ductless units require only a small hole in the wall to install, your energy loss is minimized.

Our trained experts at Synergy Technical Services can help you size a ductless unit for your room or home as well as advise if one makes sense for your particular heating or cooling needs. Call Synergy Technical Services at 804.608.1050 to learn more about ductless units. Request ductless system service online today.

Electrical

In our do-it-yourself (DIY) society, it’s tempting to look up just about any home repair problem online and attempt a repair yourself. Electrical work, however, should not be one of these areas as the risks of electrical shock or fire are too high. Rely on our Synergy Technical Services professional to ensure the work is done properly, safely, and within code.

If you are having an electrical system problem in your Petersburg home, call one of our licensed electricians to evaluate the situation. You may need a repair, expansion, or inspection of your wiring system or your circuit breaker panel. Our team can provide advice and suggestions to help bring your electrical system up to a safe and efficient level for your home’s needs.

Many Virginia homeowners may also be thinking about adding some of the cool new technologies available today. Some of these can benefit from upgrading your electrical system.

Our professional electricians can also help install and set up some of these improvements such as outdoor lighting systems, emergency generators, or smart home networks. Some security systems such as an alarm system or hard-wired smoke or carbon monoxide detectors can be installed by our team as well.

Furnaces

Coming into a toasty, warm home from the blistering winter wind is such a pleasant feeling. Be sure your furnace is ready for the cold temperatures by checking in with our professionals at Synergy Technical Services. Our trained professionals can help you select and install a new furnace, repair or inspect an existing furnace, or simply tune up your entire heating system to be sure it’s prepared.

If you are in the market for a new furnace for your Petersburg home, you will have plenty of options. Today’s furnaces are designed to operate in a wide variety of climates as well as different sized homes.

The layout of your rooms and the building materials used in your Virginia home should also play a role in helping you select the right furnace for your needs. It’s important to match the size of your furnace to all these factors so you get the right amount of heat in cold weather while not wasting energy unnecessarily.

Furnaces run on a variety of different fuels so another consideration when choosing a furnace is the long-run cost of operating your furnace. Most new furnaces are designed with optimal efficiency in mind. It’s important to balance the initial cost of your furnace with ongoing energy costs.

In addition, many furnaces have special features that can help improve indoor air quality or ventilation, offer variable speeds for more consistent heat, or provide zone heating.

Gas Fireplaces

These fireplaces are easy for our professionals to install and look amazing. The newest models are much different than the models of even five years ago. When you add a wide variety of styles, the easy on and off switch, and the sheer coziness of a fireplace to your Virginia home, a residential gas fireplace becomes a much more appealing option.

It is worth noting that while these may seem easy to install and a tempting do-it-yourself (DIY) project, these fireplaces need to connect to a gas line. Anytime you are working with gas, you can’t take chances—installing a gas fireplace is best left to the professionals.

Heat Pumps

Finding a sustainable, efficient, and effective way to heat and cool your Petersburg home can be a challenge. Fortunately, technology and developments in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry are making strides in this area. One solution is to invest in a heat pump for all your climate control needs.

Our Synergy Technical Services team can provide a wealth of information about current heat pumps available today. Just like its name implies, a heat pump simply pumps warmer air between your home and the outdoors, depending on the season.

When you want additional heat during the colder months, the pump moves heat from outside to inside. When you want heat to be removed during the warmer seasons, the heat pump pushes the heat from inside to outside.

The majority of heat pumps available on the market today are air-source heat pumps. They consume less electricity than baseboard heaters and traditional furnaces, saving you money and reducing your home’s carbon footprint. Heat pumps do not create heat by burning a fuel such as wood or natural gas, which contributes to their energy efficiency and affordability.

High-efficiency heat pumps provide better dehumidification during the warmer months, giving them a leg up over conventional air conditioners.

If you want to get more information about heat pump models for your Virginia home, call Synergy Technical Services at 804.608.1050 . Our team is ready and prepared to answer your questions. Request heat pump service online today.

Things like an automatic garage door opener, Alexa, or a smart security system likely make your life easier already.

New technology allows us to help you to build a custom HVAC system that’s designed specifically for your house.

Indoor Air Quality

Testing of indoor air quality is something we do every day. If we find issues, our experienced professionals might recommend remediation such as air duct cleaning or replacing your air filters in your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.

Water Heaters

No one likes dealing with a lack of hot water in your Virginia home. In general, barring some major catastrophe, the fault lies in the type of water heater you use. Regardless of where you are in your water heater’s life cycle, it’s worth looking into the new alternatives on the market and the benefits they may bring to your home.

The first option many Petersburg homes come with is a tank water heater. These are generally heated by gas, electricity, or oil, then heat and store your hot water. However, they can run out at inconvenient times and can cause large amounts of water damage should the tank ever leak.

The second option is a tankless water heater. These systems heat water only upon demand, regardless of how much you may want at the time. They also are highly energy efficient since you are only using the water you need at the time—you are not spending money to keep a tank of water hot waiting to be used. Since these heaters do not have storage tanks, they have a smaller footprint in your home, making for versatility in installation locations.

When you are ready to learn more or to make needed improvements in your water heater, whether it is a replacement, new installation, repair, or maintenance, our Synergy Technical Services professionals at are ready and waiting for you—give us a call at 804.608.1050.

Zone Control Systems

As an energy-conscious Virginia homeowner, you may have relied on diligence and basic technology to try to reduce your energy consumption at home. You may have responsibly programmed your thermostat to reduce consumption while you are at work or asleep. You may even police your Petersburg home regularly, closing and opening room vents as needed. And you may take on extra inconveniences to reduce your overall carbon footprint each day.

Our team at Synergy Technical Services can now provide you with an easier way: zone control systems. These systems are designed to connect to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Each zone has its own thermostat, and the system can be programmed to automatically open and shut zone dampers as the system receives temperature adjustments.

Zone control systems allow you to boost or lower the temperature of your bedrooms, for example, to achieve comfortable sleeping conditions. If you are entertaining in your main living areas, you can adjust that particular zone to manage the temperature for a greater number of people. Or, you can keep your home office zone comfortable while the rest of your home stays in energy-conservation mode during business hours.

Zone control systems, when installed properly and professionally, can help you reduce your energy consumption throughout the year while increasing your family’s comfort levels.
