Murrieta, CA (PRWEB) January 27, 2010
Less than 20 percent of homeowners have AC and heating maintenance agreements, which is why WC Heating and Air Conditioning is introducing a new maintenance package.

These new maintenance agreements ensure unparalleled service coverage year-round, which is a must for any homeowner that wants to keep their warranty.
For 9 a year, WC customers will receive two seasonal clean and check services (heating in fall and air conditioning in spring), a 15 percent discount on emergency repairs during the year, a 15 percent discount on parts and labor, and priority scheduling on services throughout the year. Company representatives say this is beneficial because it provides safety, greater efficiency, a cleaner home, better air quality, increased energy savings, reliable technicians on call 24/7, equipment coupons, and worry-free maintenance. And with one of the industry’s most extensive 21-point inspections through NATE-certified technicians, it helps keep the HVAC system running at peak efficiency and ensure a longer equipment lifespan. There is an additional discount for multiple systems as well.
In an area like Riverside County where central air conditioning maintenance is particularly important in summer, this new agreement will be very advantageous. Unlike some HVAC companies that require large upfront payments, WC Heating & Air Conditioning is offering this innovative maintenance package for only per month. Customers can cancel at any time for any reason or no reason at all.

Home Heating Group Touts Clean Use of Oil
Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) September 27, 2010
While some Americans may see the Gulf catastrophe as a symbol of the heating oil industry, the true symbol of today’s industry is a soybean field or a solar panel. Soy and the sun are two renewable energy sources increasingly used to heat U.S. homes and businesses, according to the heating coalition called the Energy Communications Council.
Soy and other heating oil feed stocks got a boost from a major political player just last month. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed mandate that resident receives renewable heating oil – blended with 2 percent biodiesel made from soy and other natural oils – called Bioheat.
Other northeastern states, the nation’s primary heating oil region, are considering similar Bioheat legislation and programs. Among the nation’s 300 heating oil retailers that offer Bioheat, some are marketing Bioheat with 20 percent biodiesel, a B20 blend.
If everyone using heating oil used a B5 blend, 5 percent biodiesel/95 percent oilheat, 400 million gallons of regular heating oil could be conserved. This would increase American energy security and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
Although these innovations and the production of ultra-low sulfur heating oil are expected to virtually eliminate emissions from heating oil, the industry is also expanding its focus on renewables to further cut emissions by taking full advantage of solar technology. The sun can allow homeowners and business owners to conserve heating oil and lower their energy bills.
The industry has installed systems connecting hundreds of furnaces and boilers to rooftop photovoltaic cells, or solar panels. This advance in heating technology achieves dramatic cuts in both electricity and oil consumption.
Solar-oilheat systems use thermal collectors to generate electricity that moves heating oil from its tank into a furnace or boiler. Solar-oilheat may also be used to heat swimming pools and in-floor radiant systems.
The oilheat industry’s use of solar technology also extends to test burners containing PV cells energized by the oil flame. The National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA) and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority are studying a prototype appliance designed to generate enough of its own electricity to operate even during blackouts.
Heating oil adds more than trillion in total economic value to the U.S. gross domestic product and the oilheat industry accounts for .9 billion in payroll every year for 49,000 Americans. America’s future economic security clearly depends on a diverse energy mix that includes an environmentally sound supply of heating oil and Bioheat.
The ECC is comprised of the New England Fuel Institute, the Delaware Valley Fuel Dealers’ Association, the Empire State Petroleum Association, the Fuel Merchants Association of New Jersey, Oil Heat Comfort of Long Island, the New York Oil Heating Association, Inc., and the Vermont Fuel Dealers Association, and is funded by NORA.

A Healthy Luxury. Warmup Floor Heating Now Recommended by Asthma Foundation
(PRWEB) November 26, 2009
Warmup in New Zealand has recently undertaken a partnership with the Asthma & Respiratory Foundation. The organisation is committed to finding new solutions for people with these conditions and have identified floor heating as one of the viable options. Warmup® Underfloor Heating is the foundation’s sole recommendation for the undertile and undercarpet heating category. Thanks to its radiant heating patterns, underfloor heating reduces the circulation of airborne allergens like dust which could trigger health problems such as asthma.
Apart from being better for your health a clever way to add luxury to your floors is the addition of floor heating. After all, the only thing better than a gorgeous floor is a warm, gorgeous floor. Particularly in colder climates where winters are a lengthy half-year affair, underfloor heating will enable you to enjoy those beautiful tiles for longer.
Award-winning Warmup® electric underfloor heating is available in both loose cable and mat forms to suit different projects. A large or regular-shaped area can be quickly covered with a mat while a smaller room with units could benefit from the additional flexibility offered by the loose wire. Room size is not a problem as Warmup offers a full range of safety-approved systems to cover areas from 0.5m² upwards.
Warmup® underfloor heating boasts a host of advantages from more comfortable warmth to greater interior design freedom.
Spanning the entire floor means that underfloor heating is very effective for keeping floors dry, especially ideal for busy bathrooms. The radiant heating method of heating also eliminates draughts typically associated with conventional radiators. This in turn reduces airborne allergens such as dust, making the home environment healthier.
With Warmup, the underfloor heating is operated in zones by separate thermostats. This individualistic control allows for usage tailored to your lifestyle and improves heating efficiency. Lower wastage translates simply into greater cost and energy savings.
For all the benefits, Warmup® underfloor heating is highly affordable, both to install and to run. Prices begin at less than 0 including the heater, programmable thermostat and VAT, while running costs are also very low. There are also no maintenance costs involved.

Shoppers want to be confident that they are getting value for money while keeping up with the latest trends. The guide gives consumers the opportunity to compare prices and features for outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, chiminea and patio heaters allowing them to make easier and more informed choices.

Unlike many comparison shopping sites the Outdoor Heating Guide hand picks products for inclusion in the guide ensuring that shoppers get the best deals available online.
“Now that summer is upon us, more and more people will be entertaining outdoors,” explains Ms Sowden. “After all what is nicer than a glass of wine and a barbecue in the summer months.

And for those without a barbecue an inbuilt or free standing fire pit is an option to cook on.”

Lower Energy Costs and Maintain Your Home Heating System
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) December 2, 2008
The recent dip in temperatures means reaching for winter blankets and the thermostat controls. Before turning on a home’s heating system, Chas Roberts Air Conditioning and Heating recommends these top 5 tips to keep energy costs down:
1. Clean filters – The most important task in maintaining a home heating system is to clean and replace the filters frequently. For optimum efficiency and filtration, replace disposable filters at least once a month.
2. Check it – Before the heat is turned on, have the system checked by a trained technician. Regular maintenance is the most effective way to ensure that a home heating unit is running efficiently, safely, and offers the best opportunity for extending its life to ultimately save money.
3. Turn down the heat – Take a cue from the Arizona state government, which is using the thermostat to cut costs during a budget shortfall. Thermostats in state buildings are being set 2 degrees cooler in the winter and 2 degrees warmer in the summer to save costs. How big a savings is this? Every degree that the thermostat is lowered in the winter (or raised in the summer), can result in a 3-percent savings in energy costs. (Source: ConsumerReports.org)
4. Use the heating system only when needed – Lowering the thermostat when no one is home and at night can help reduce heating bills. Avoid lowering it more than 5 degrees so the heating system doesn’t have to work so hard to return to the desired setting. A programmable thermostat can make it easy.
5. Get the air moving – Using a ceiling fan in the winter can help reduce costs by 10 percent. Because heat rises, the temperature near the ceiling is warmer. Using a ceiling fan in a clockwise direction so it gently pushes the air against the ceiling and down the walls helps circulate the warm air, without causing a wind chill effect. (Source: SRPnet.com)

Atlas Heating & Air Conditioning’s Improved Technology Enhances Heat Pump Performance
Atlas Heating & Air Conditioning’s Improved Technology Enhances Heat Pump Performance
(PRWEB) December 3, 2008
Known for installing Virginia’s warmest air-source heat pump systems on record, Atlas Heating & air Conditioning has managed to further enhance their signature heat pump Maximizer, enhancing both comfort and efficiency.
Newly advanced technology allows the Maximizer device to measure heating performance in order to determine the exact level of thermal depletion that occurs with ground source heat pumps. All heat pumps experience thermal depletion, and often require various amounts of supplemental heat to compensate for the loss. Supplemental heat is a necessary evil that is often feared or rejected by homeowners. Many have even gone as far as to have it disabled in hopes of lowering their utility cost. Unfortunately this crippling of the system is more likely to do harm than it is to do good. The Maximizer’s claim to fame is its unique ability to regulate and control supplemental heat sources for the most economical balance of comfort and efficiency. These economical developments mean a warmer home with a lower utility bill.
Sophisticated temperature sensors combined with a simple method of calculation determine exactly how much heat is being produced by a heat pump. The Maximizer contains two probes which are installed inside a heat pump’s interior unit. One probe measures the temperature of the air in the house, while the other measures the heated air flowing in the supply duct. A comparator circuit then decides when to engage the back up heat to deliver the most economical balance of effective heating.
Installed in five quick minutes, the Maximizer’s common sense design and patented temperature comparing relay make it one if the greatest contributions to heat pump technology.
