Why does my furnace and air conditioner need regular maintenance?
Just like you need to take your car into the shop for regular tune-ups, such as oil changes or inspecting potential problems; your home comfort system should receive the same kind of attention. Routine maintenance by a professional technician provides various benefits to your HVAC equipment, which can help your systems operate efficiently and prevent costly breakdowns.
What is a SEER?
There are special names for the efficiency ratings of various types of equipment. Air conditioning equipment is rated by the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, or SEER. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the unit.
Will my new furnace work differently than my old one?
Depending on how old your previous furnace was, you could experience a host of differences. Furnaces today are developed to provide 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 designed to integrate with other high-efficiency HVAC products, such as air conditioners. The air conditioner blowers provide your heating system an extra lift so it can deliver cool air around your home efficiently. Special features like variable speed motors will also help reduce noise associated with operating your equipment and easily meet your family’s airflow needs.

What is a UV Light?
UV lights are used for air sterilization - they are designed to sterilize and destroy biological and chemical contaminants, which circulate throughout the home. These can include allergens, viruses, spores, pollens, bacteria, mold, chemicals, VOCs, fumes and odors.
UV lights can be installed into the return or supply plenum of your HVAC system. The UVC (254nm) and UVV (185nm) light produced by Sanuvox UV systems are the same two wavelengths produced by the Sun. The UVC wavelength attacks the micro-organisms on a molecular level deactivating and destroying the contaminants, while the UVV wavelength degrades chemicals and odors.
Where HEPA filters help to trap particles, UV lights will actively kill particles that pass through them.
Sanuvox UV lights have a proprietary high intensity 'J' lamp which has all the advantages of the intensity of two UV lamps with the replacement cost of only one.
By using a turbulator to spin the air as it enters the reflector chamber, the Sanuvox process guarantees that the air receives the maximum UV dosage possible. Dwell (contact) time between the air and the UV light is also increased, resulting in higher destruction rates. The aluminum reflector chamber contains and reflects the UV energy delivering maximum efficiency.
