AMERISTAR FURNACE AND TRANE AIR CONDITIONER IN PITTSFORD

Pittsford Saltbox Style home gets Renewed Comfort while Saving Money


gray colonial home in pittsford, nyWhen the homeowners of this salt-box style home in Pittsford gave us a call here at Airquip, their current heating and cooling system was having problems. There had been numerous repairs, and the home energy bills were getting larger over time. When we came out to take a look, we found the aging furnace and air conditioning systems were getting to the end of their useful life and needed replacement.


Problem: Aging heating and air conditioning systems in a Pittsford Saltbox style home needed frequent repairs and was costly to maintain. In addition, the system was inefficient, causing the homeowners to spend more in energy bills.


Solution: Replaced the old system with a new Ameristar furnace and Trane air conditioning system that will run with higher efficiency in every season, giving the homeowner lower energy bills, even as our weather gets more extreme.

In and around Rochester, you’ll find a lot of older homes like this one. This beautiful Salt-box style home was designed, back in the day, because it has a chimney/fireplace located in the middle of the home, and that was used to help create extra heat throughout the home. The house is compact, so airflow is pretty consistent, and in general they are easier to heat and cool than more open concept or multi-level floor plans.


Trane furnaceOver time, furnaces and air conditioning systems begin to wear out, and technology also changes. Newer furnaces today burn much more cleanly than ones that are 15-20 years old, and this fact alone can significantly reduce your energy bills. New furnaces and air conditioning systems can also be paired with multi-speed blower systems that can deliver even more efficiency, Winter and Summer, by helping to keep the temperature in your home more constant, and avoiding the big fluctuations in temperature that cause you comfort problems- and cost money too.


When we spoke to the homeowners, they knew that it was time to replace their system. They decided on an Ameristar furnace and an efficient Trane Air conditioning system.


Often, we’ll find an air conditioning system develops a leak, and because freon is no longer being manufactured, a simple “system recharge” can’t be done. Instead, a new environmentally friendly system using puron needs to be installed- puron can’t work with older systems because the systems operate under different pressures and are not compatible. 
 

When we replace an air conditioning system, we have to go into the ductwork. When we do this, we often discover that due to age, the furnace may have a cracked heat exchanger. Cracked heat exchangers can let poisonous carbon monoxide into your home, and are unsafe. That’s why in aging systems, we often recommend planning on replacing your heating and air conditioning systems at the same time, because often we find that we end up needing to do so for safety and code reasons.
