Air Handlers

If you are not a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professional, though you are probably familiar with terms such as furnace, air conditioner, and air ducts when dealing with your , home, you may not have heard the term air handler. The reality is if your home employs a conventional furnace or air conditioner, you may not have or need an air handler at all.

However, if you use a heat pump to regulate your home’s temperatures, then you already own an air handler, even if you are not sure what it is. Air handlers typically handle the circulation function of your heat pump, which is not required on a conventional furnace that comes with its own blower.

The advantages of an air handler are many. For instance, air handlers from Synergy Technical Services can help distribute your chilled or warmed air more evenly throughout your home, increasing the comfort level of your family.

In addition, these units are easier to clean than conventional furnaces and air conditioners, which means it may be easier to keep the air in your home cleaner. This can be particularly important if you have indoor allergies. Finally, air handlers do not produce as much condensation, which can elevate the level of your home’s safety.

Call our team at Synergy Technical Services by dialing 804.608.1050 to learn more about air handlers. Our trained professionals are standing by to help you select the best HVAC system for your particular home. Request handlers service today..

These systems provide heating and cooling without using your home’s air duct system.

Our professionals at Synergy Technical Services can help you determine the best application for a ductless system as well as help you size the appropriate unit for your space.

Heat Pumps

Heat pump technology has changed a great deal since it was invented. Although it was a byproduct of a deep freezer experiment, the heat pumps of today provide an effective, efficient way to deliver heating and cooling services to homeowners in .

How does a heat pump work? Heat pumps operate by transferring heat from one location to another.

In the colder months, heat pumps take heat from outdoors and send it indoors to warm your home. Then in the warmer months, they do the reverse like an air conditioner and remove the heat from indoors and move it outside. Our professionals at Synergy Technical Services can talk with you about your specific heating and cooling needs to see if a heat pump may be a good solution for you.

One big advantage of heat pumps is they do not burn fuel such as wood, oil, or natural gas. This means you typically reduce your energy bills in the long run, and your family’s heating and cooling needs are met in a more environmentally friendly manner.

Give Synergy Technical Services a call at 804.608.1050 to find out how heat pump technology has evolved and what models might fit your heating and cooling needs. Request heat pump service online today.

Home Automation

As more and more gadgets enter the market, it can be difficult to decide which ones are fads and which ones are worth buying. In , , more home owners are considering their options, particularly when it comes to smart home heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

Home automation possibilities run a wide spectrum right now, and our professional team at Synergy Technical Services is still exploring which solutions deliver the most value for our customers.

However, in the future, more families may install things like occupant sensors that can trigger heating or cooling in the rooms you’re in, remote detection of things like water leaks or excessive vibration in appliances, and automatic generation of repair or maintenance orders.

Indoor Air Quality

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American spends 93 percent of their time indoors. It’s no wonder that poor indoor air quality can have such a detrimental effect on your health. Our professionals at Synergy Technical Services can test your indoor air quality as well as provide tips and services to help you improve it in your home.

Common indoor air pollutants include dust and dust mites, pet hair and dander, bacteria and viruses, smoke, and chemicals from cleaning supplies and new furniture. Most heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems use an air filter to remove some of these pollutants. However, the size of particulates removed may vary depending on the quality of the filter.

Poor indoor air quality can lead to general discomfort or possibly more serious health issues. Asthma and allergies can both be aggravated by poor indoor air quality, causing additional respiratory distress.

Instead, consider having one of our air quality professionals come out and evaluate your home. Air duct cleaning, air purification systems, and HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters may be recommended as part of a remediation program. Our trained experts will also inspect your HVAC system for potential leaks of carbon monoxide and other dangerous substances.

Synergy Technical Services wants to be your partner in providing safe and healthy indoor air quality. Call us at 804.608.1050 for more details. Request indoor air quality service online today.

Water Heaters

Water heaters are one of the systems in your home you may be most dependent upon. Without a functioning water heater, it’s impossible to wash dishes, do laundry, and so many other daily tasks in your lifestyle you take for granted. With the water heater options available today, you should rarely be inconvenienced from a lack of hot water any longer. There are two primary options for you to consider for your home.

The first is a tank water heater. This type of water system is most commonly found in homes across the United States, is typically straightforward to install, and costs less initially. However, it’s also prone to the most common problem affecting a water heater: it can run out of hot water, be an energy sucker, and cause a flood if something should go wrong and it leaks.

Tankless systems, while they do cost more at the start, offer you as much or as little hot water exactly when you want it. These hot water systems provide you your hot water on demand. They are generally better at conserving energy and are smaller in size so they can be installed in more places than a traditional tank system.

When you are ready to explore your options or to make home water heater improvements, whether it is a replacement, new installation, repair, or maintenance, our team at Synergy Technical Services would be happy to help you—give us a call at 804.608.1050. Request water heater service online today.

Zone Control Systems

Technology continues to advance on all fronts today, especially in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) field. One of the more exciting new developments is zone control systems . These systems tie into your overall HVAC system; however, they provide you with superior temperature control in different zones of your home.

Here’s how they work. Each zone of your home has its own thermostat, which can be programmed by day and time. As one zone “calls” your central system, automatic dampers open and close to direct the heating or cooling to that particular zone. If a second zone puts in a request, dampers adjust accordingly. Your HVAC system will continue to run until all zones reach their desired temperatures.

Our Synergy Technical Services team can work with you to see if your current HVAC system can work with a zone control system. In most cases, controlling temperature by zones of your home will reduce the amount of energy you consume and lower your monthly utility bills.

Gone are the days of trying to determine the optimum temperature for your entire home or trying to manually close and open vents in the middle of your daily duties. Zone control systems take the worry out of managing your home’s comfort levels and energy consumption.

Contact Synergy Technical Services at 804.608.1050 with any questions about zone control systems. Our team would be happy to help you determine if it’s right for you. Request zone control system service online today.
