  • What is two-stage heating?

    Two-stage heating allows the furnace to heat at two levels of output: high for cold winter days and low for mild ones. Approximately 80 percent of the time, your homes heating requirements can be met when the furnace is set on the low setting, permitting your two-stage unit to work for longer periods of time. Two-stage units also offer more even heat distribution, fewer temperature swings, quiet operation, improved air filtration and energy efficiency.

  • How will my new furnace work differently from my old one?

    Depending on how old your previous furnace was you could experience a host of differences. Furnaces today are designed to give more even and efficient heating than ever before. Modern furnaces also better regulate temperature and air flow, moving more air over the heat exchanger than older furnaces.


    Additionally, new furnaces are created to operate with other high-efficiency HVAC products, such as air conditioners. The air conditioner blowers give your heating system an extra bump so it can deliver cool air around your home efficiently. Special features like variable speed motors will also help lessen noise associated with operating your equipment and easily meet your familys airflow needs.

  • What can I do to improve my homes indoor air quality?

    Improving your homes indoor air quality starts with four basic strategies:

    • Poor indoor air quality leaves your home filled with air pollutants floating around. So, to increase IAQ, the first step is to get rid of as many pollutants as possible. You can easily do this by cleaning and vacuuming at least once a week, frequently washing linens and storing cleaning products safely.
    • Proper insulation is ideal for keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, but it also makes it difficult for airborne pollutants to escape. We carry products that help swap stale air for fresh, filtered outside air.
    • Good ventilation and regular cleaning are a start, but air filters, germicidal lights and purification systems take your IAQ to the next level by capturing microscopic particles, killing germs and removing particles while destroying chemical vapors.
    • Programmable thermostats will help control the humidity levels and temperature to help prevent particles and germs from building up while also keeping your home comfortable.
  • How do I know which indoor air quality product will work best for my home?

    We recommend that you meet with one of the professionals at AirTech Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC and have them assess your home and current indoor comfort system. We can help you determine which equipment will be best suited to meet your needs.

  • How does an air conditioner work?

    Most homeowners believe that air conditioners make it cooler in your house, but it actually removes the heat from your house, directing the hot air outside. That hot air flows across a cold indoor coil where refrigerant in the lines sends the heat to the coil in your outdoor unit, releasing the heat outside. This procedure continues until the indoor temperature reaches the temperature you set on your thermostat.

  • What is the minimum energy efficiency standard for air conditioners in my state?

    Due to the increasing amount of energy used by heating and cooling systems, the Department of Energy (DOE) increased the minimum efficiency levels for air conditioners, heat pumps and packaged units manufactured after January 1, 2015. These levels are determined based on region and carry varying requirements based on your location. AirTech Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC can answer any questions you may have regarding these minimum requirements and let you know what choices are available when you're looking for a replacement system.

  • How can I confirm the model and serial numbers for my cooling unit?

    These numbers can be found on a nameplate or sticker that is near your systems service panel. The sticker is white with black letters and have both of these numbers located around the top of the sticker. M/N stands for model number while S/N is your serial number.

  • How do I guess what size equipment I should purchase?

    There are a handful of ways to determine what size system is right for your home, but the most reliable way to choose a system is by having your local AirTech Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC technician come out and perform a load calculation. This calculation considers your homes: square footage, insulation value, amount of insulation, and a number of other factors.

  • Can frost, ice, dirt or other debris keep the outdoor unit of my cooling system from operating effectively?

    Yes, because dirt and other debris can inhibit your systems ability to work efficiently. For heat pumps, it is normal to have frost or ice on them during the winter, but they also are built with defrost controls to ensure they work efficiently in those types of conditions.

  • What is two-stage cooling?

    Two-stage cooling means that your cooling unit has two levels of operation. When summer is in its hottest weeks, the high setting kicks in, and when its cooler or more mild, it operates on the low setting. Usually, the lower setting can take care of your cooling needs, but even when the high setting kicks in, you may not realize it because it can generate such even temperatures for your comfort. This may also mean a quieter cooling system, greater efficiency and better humidity control.

  • Why is my system freezing up?

    When your cooling unit freezes up, there are a number of reasons why it could be doing so. The most common reasons include: dirty filters, low refrigerant, a dirty evaporative coil and a faulty blower motor or relay. A dirty filter is something you can change as a homeowner, but the others need to be fixed by a professional like those at AirTech Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC. Contact them at 479-226-8196 with any further questions you may have.

  • What is the best thermostat to use for my cooling system?

    Choosing the best thermostat for your cooling system comes with a lot to think through. That's why its nice to have such a great variety of choices from AirTech Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC. Whether you're in the market for a programmable or non-programmable thermostat or want to join the smart home trend, there are various thermostats that you have to select from. Some thermostats will depend on what type of heating and cooling system you have, but the experts at AirTech Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC will be able to help determine what options fit your needs and your budget.

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps can be a little confusing due to their name, but they actually cover both your heating and cooling needs year-round. When its hot outside it operates like an air conditioner in that it removes heat from your home, but when it cools off, the process gets reversed and it collects heat from outside and brings it inside. Heat pumps are also very efficient, and might produce up to two or three times more heat than the energy it uses.

  • When replacing the outdoor unit, should the indoor unit also be replaced?

    Of course we think you should also replace your indoor system, but this is why:

    • All outdoor cooling systems have a matching indoor unit that they are created to work with to ensure efficient performance. When they aren't paired with the other part as a complete system, efficiency might be diminished.
    • As with many products, advancements have brought about newer, more efficient ways of doing things. Heating and cooling systems are no different. These developments most importantly include greater heating and cooling efficiency, but also consist of improved air handling, filtering and noise pollution reduction to name a few.
    • Heating and cooling systems that are more than 10-15 years old typically need to be replaced. Not only do they feature outdated technology, but they are also less efficient than more recent models. Buying a new indoor unit at the same time means you'll have a matched system to provide you with improved comfort and efficiency for years to come.
  • How can I tell if my solar HVAC system is performing to its full potential?

    The communication module on your home energy system could send the system's performance records for each module to a website. You may visit this website to learn more about the system's status, energy production and environmental benefits. The site also shares carbon offsets as it happens.

  • Do I need to clean my solar modules?

    In most regions, rain will clean the solar modules off automatically. If you are located in a dusty or industrial area, periodically spraying the modules with water could help improve performance. However, detergents and high-pressure hoses should never be used to wash solar modules.

  • What is the best thermostat for my home comfort system?

    The proper thermostat for you depends on your heating and cooling equipment. AirTech Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC sells programmable and nonprogrammable thermostats that can help improve the efficiency of your HVAC systems. Browse our available products or contact us at 479-226-8196 to learn more.

  • How can I control my energy costs?

    Heating and cooling can make up a big amount of your utility bill. The innovative and high-efficiency heating and air conditioning products available from AirTech Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC can help reduce these costs. If you're searching for a new heating or cooling system, look for products with high SEER ratings for air conditioners and AFUE ratings for furnaces. SEER and AFUE are a measure of system efficiency, and the greater the number, the more efficient the product. Besides purchasing a new home comfort system, think about these additional factors:

    1. Is your system regularly maintained? Whether it's a furnace or air conditioner, HVAC systems will run more efficiently after regular maintenance checks.
    2. Do you need a zoning system? If there are areas in your home that are rarely used, a zoning system will allow you to heat or cool only the most used areas of your house.
    3. Are you taking advantage of a programmable or smart thermostat? According to the U.S. Department of Energy, programmable thermostats may lower your heating costs by up to 35 percent, and your cooling costs by up to 25 percent.
  • What are the benefits of zoning systems?

    Zoning equipment gives you the opportunity to divide areas of your home and control the thermostat differently in each part of your home. Zoning equipment is ideal for when you have areas of your house that are rarely used or when you and your family are constantly in disagreement of what the temperature in each area of your home should be. Zoning systems are almost noiseless and efficient, enabling you to have more control over the comfort of your house.
