PHARO HEATING & COOLING

ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS

Today, protecting the environment is a top priority for the government, consumers, and many companies. That’s why Pharo Heating is striving to lead the way in providing the most energy efficient and air cleaning products available, while using the best practices to our knowledge.

REDUCING YOUR

CARBON FOOTPRINT

Purchasing energy efficient products that require less energy resources to operate is one of the best ways to help protect the environment. Also, Buying energy efficient products will not only decrease your environmental footprint, but they will save you money on operating costs. So makes sure your heating and air conditioning products have high energy efficiency ratings.

FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW

ENERGY STAR® PROGRAM

Energy Star® promotes energy efficient furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, thermostats, and other products. Energy Star® promotes energy efficient products because household appliances can have a huge impact on air pollution and energy consumption.

Pharo Heating offers a variety of products that are designed to provide your family with a cleaner and healthier home. Healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) helps prevent the causes of allergies and illnesses, and can eliminate mold, bacteria and other contaminants. Following is a list of 10 products, technologies and tips that will help make your home a “Healthy Home”:

  1. Energy Efficient Equipment

    Replace your old 70% system with a 90%+ system, and you can lower utility bills and decrease your environmental footprint. (see FAQs page for more on efficiency, including AFUE and SEER ratings)

    Example:
    Current Furnace = 70%
    New Furnace = 95% + Gas usages could be cut by as much as 26%
         [(95-70)/95=26.3]

  2. Multi-Staged Equipment 

    Allows for higher efficiency, quieter operation, increased dehumidification, and a more comfortable home.

  3. Variable Speed Technology 

    Allows for higher efficiency, quieter operation, significant dehumidification, and can increase you system’s cooling efficiency by up to 2 full SEER points. This technology also provides consistent air circulation with about one-sixth less energy consumption than a fixed-speed model.

  4. Zoned Comfort Systems 

    Zoning is an easy way of dividing you home into zones with similar heating and cooling requirements. Benefits of zoning include eliminating hot and cold spots of you home; optimized temperature and humidity levels in each zone; maximize energy savings by only conditioning the zones that are occupied.

  5. Air Filtration 

    An air filter is an important part of a heating and cooling system. A clean filter collects particles such as dust and debris that build up on the blower fan and the heating and cooling coils. Such buildup reduces efficiency, restricts airflow, and shortens equipment life. Additionally, high-quality filters can improve a home’s indoor air quality and your family’s health.

  6. Humidification System 

    Too little humidity can cause a sore throat, dry skin and sinus irritation; damage to furniture and wood products; makes you feel colder regardless of the temperature. Too much humidity can cause wood to warp and wallpaper to peel; makes you feel clammy, sweaty and sticky; increases allergens (dust mites, molds, and fungi). Install a humidifier and/or dehumidifier to control the comfort and longevity of your home.

  7. R-410A (Puron) Refrigerant 

    Puron has been universally accepted refrigerant and was approved by the EPA as the best replacement for Freon (R-22), which is an ozone-depleting HCFC that his being phased out of production.- high efficiency – outstanding reliability- quiet operation – environmentally sound.

  8. Equipment Maintenance 

    Scheduled maintenance will aid in extending the life, efficiency, and safety of you equipment. It is imperative that you replace your filter regularly (see FAQs section). Also having you equipment inspected by a trained professional annually will improve efficiency, safety, and life of that equipment.

  9. Seal & Insulate Ducts 

    Your ducts (medium that moves air throughout your home) often have small openings that waste your conditioned air. Sealing and insulating ducts can improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling system by as much as 20 percent – and sometimes much more.

  10. System Controls

    Controls and/or Thermostats can play a major role in the efficiency and productivity of you home comfort system. Some are programmable, allowing for greater control of energy cost while you’re out of your home for an extended period. Some have humidity control built in, allowing you to monitor and control your humidity levels. Some other feature include and outdoor temperature sensor, which allows the controls to automatically adjust indoor humidity set-points (help avoid condensation build-up on windows); Clean filter reminder help you keep your system clean, which in turn leads to better efficiency
