Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of system is the best for my usage?
We will need to review with you the usage, location, type of structure, comfort level you expect, and the return of your investment.
What is the most efficient system available?
GeoThermal ground source heating and cooling systems use less energy, and can also provide hot water for domestic or floor radiant heating. Some areas and structure designs are not receptive to these systems. In these situations we need to look at two-stage, high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficient Ratio) heat pumps with either variable speed air handlers or variable speed gas furnaces.
Should I use multiple or single zoned systems?
We prefer to use multiple systems in lieu of single units with zoning. If you structure has a cooling load in one area, and a heating load in another area, this single unit has to satisfy one call at a time! It cannot provide both heating and cooling to both areas simultaneously.
What difference will the ductwork type, design and installation have on our structure?
You are building a structure that will last a lifetime. Your ductwork should also meet these standards. Some of the flexible ducting does not have this ability and also can be a safe haven for infiltration by rodents spreading their disease in the air stream and causing air leakage. The ductwork should be adequately designed, sized, insulated, with all joints sealed, and of rigid metal construction to satisfy your comfort needs.
Does Long Refrigeration provide financing?
With approved credit we have financing available through GE Capital and Citibank,or we suggest the usage of Home Equity Loans. We also have commercial leasing programs available with approved credit.
