Today’s homes require special consideration in order to maintain uniform comfort throughout.  Ideally, there should be no more than a 2°F temperature difference between any two rooms at any given time according to the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).

One of the most popular residential applications for zoning is a bonus room or FROG (finished room over garage).  Without a separate zone thermostat, comfort is impossible in a bonus room.  The constant year round complaint about Bonus Rooms without a thermostat is, “It’s Too Hot”.

Zoning with multiple thermostats controlling a single heating/cooling unit is the solution for maintaining indoor temperature to fit individual needs.  Zoning provides ultimate comfort by providing heating and cooling where and when you desire by locating multiple zone thermostats in critical areas.

Digital Thermostats

The only digital thermostats made in the USA, Simple Comfort, state-of-the-art digital thermostats are accurate to within +/- 1°F and have large, easy to read, displays.  Available features include back lit displays, screwless quick-connect wire terminals, programmability, automatic changeover, adjustable minimum and maximum set points, lockout feature to lock mode and limit set points, built-in temperature calibration and filter check warnings. 

It’s time to upgrade your old mercury thermostat to a Simple Comfort digital thermostat.  Be sure to ask your heating and cooling contractor to dispose of your old mercury thermostat according to EPA hazardous material guidelines.

CC750 Comfort Center Variable Indoor Speed Controller

Maximize your comfort for less with the new, multi award-winning CC750 Comfort Control Center.  As recently seen on the hit television show, “Designing Spaces”, the Comfort Control Center can make your existing air conditioning or heat pump system more effective at removing and controlling humidity levels in your home. The resulting drier air allows for higher set point temperatures while improving the overall perception of comfort. Think of it in terms of taking a hot shower. Even though you may have the exhaust fan running, the air inside can still get steamy. The fan is just not enough. Now open the bathroom door. The cool sensation you feel when the steamy air is removed is similar to the added comfort you can experience as the Comfort Control Center removes the excess moisture…FROM YOUR ENTIRE HOME!

The fully programmable Comfort Control Center works by intelligently controlling your system’s blower motor speed based on the unique environmental conditions in your home. By allowing the warm, humid air to stay in contact longer with your system’s evaporator coil, the Comfort Control Center improves your system’s effectiveness at removing moisture from the air…with greater system efficiencies. Additionally, when used in conjunction with a system equipped with advanced IAQ devices, the CC750 also allows these devices to operate more effectively, making it ideal for asthma or allergy sufferers. During colder months, the CC750 will even provide warmer air discharge temperatures for homes equipped with a heat pump.

Why spend thousands of dollars on upgrades or a new variable speed system when the CC750 Comfort Control Center can deliver year-round, in-home comfort – effectively, efficiently and for a fraction of the price?

Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs)

Studies show that the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) of the average home can be up to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air.*

Invisible pollutants produced by common household substances, plus dust and excess humidity that gets trapped in today’s houses, can increase your risk of chronic respiratory illness and your home’s risk of serious structural damage.

Central ventilation and filtration effectively eliminate airborne pollutants and excess humidity.

Venmar  manufacturers three types of Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) to provide your home with fresh clean air in every room of your house throughout the year:

• DUO 1.2, 1.4 or 1.9 - Highest industry rated Total Recovery Efficiency (TRE) **
• CONSTRUCTO 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 – Compact cross-core ERV
• HEPA 4100 - ERV with HEPA*** filtration removes 99.97% of 0.3 micron particles.

Venmar ERV units expel polluted and humid air from your home to the outside and replace it fresh air several times a day.

Respiratory ailments, often attributed to poor air quality, represent the third largest cause of death in the U.S., ranking only behind heart disease and cancer, according to the American Medical Association.  Removing harmful particles and chemicals plus removing pollutants, pollen, mold and mildew from the air you breathe is the key to cleaner, healthier air.

Polarized-Media Electronic Air Cleaners

Dynamic Air Cleaners offer unparalleled 97% capture efficiency of 0.3 micron particle  sizes using a unique patented combination or air scrubbing, electrostatic polarization and activated carbon and thus, providing clean, healthy air in your home or office.  1” panels fit directly into existing filter grilles or filter racks and are powered using simple 24 volt wiring connected to the central HVAC system.  No cells or filters to wash.  Just periodically replace the polarized charcoal media.

Advanced Germicidal PCO System

The Dynamic Advanced PCO System destroys pollutants using ultraviolet light in a three step process.  First, the pollutant adsorbs the surface of the catalyst.  The pollutant and catalyst are then exposed to the photons of the UV light.  The light energy activates the catalyst which breaks down the pollutant into non toxic products.  Odors and vapors are vaporized by the UV light in much the same way that a drop of cold water is vaporized when it drops into a hot skillet.  Germicidal UV lamps without the PCO advantage are also available.

Many homes suffer from excessive humidity and/or poor ventilation, which may lead to an increase in allergens such as mold.  Studies have shown that dust mites and mold are two of the most common allergens present in higher humidity climates.  Excessive humidity in the crawlspace can lead to serious deterioration of wood and even buckling floors.

Santa–Fe dehumidifiers are free standing and designed specifically for crawl spaces. Controlling humidity is crawlspaces is a critical component of overall humidity control. 

Ultra–Aire Whole House Ducted Dehumidifiers

Fantech offers a wide variety of bath, kitchen and dryer ventilation solutions.

Gone are the days of a single bath fan in the center of the room.  The key to proper ventilation is the oversized bath filled with luxurious amenities is true spot ventilation at one source.  Choose between a quite, efficient centrifugal fan with multiple exhaust grilles in a single bath or multiple baths.  Integral halogen or florescent lights are available as an option.

Fantech kitchen ventilation keeps kitchens clear of smoke, grease, steam and odors with a ventilation system that works quietly and efficiently by utilizing a powerful exhaust fan located away from the living area with a silencer to minimize noise and a hood liner that fits beautifully in your custom hood design.

According to some dryer installations instructions and local building codes, dryer booster fans are required when the length of the duct exceeds 25 feet with no bends of 15 feet with two bends.  A Fantech “Intelligent” dryer booster fan can be used effectively to boost dryer exhaust in duct runs up to 130 feet using a patented pressure sensing switch to automatically turn the booster fan on.

Ventilation control is essential to energy efficient homes.  Energy efficient homes can be achieved by building tighter homes and reducing unnecessary leaks.  Some benefits to energy efficient homes includes; lower monthly utility bills, increased thermal comfort, higher resale value for the home and environmental benefits as well.

However, a tight construction home compromises the air quality within.  Not only does a tight home retain the energy in the home, it also retains the pollutants that are caused by everyday living. 

The Air Cycler is a low-cost device that ensures the right amount of fresh air within a home to maintain energy efficiency and excellent air quality.   Easily adjustable, the Air Cycler allows the homeowner to choose the exact number of minutes per hour of fresh air desired.
