Are you Really comfortable in your home?

One of the first questions I ask my customers is to show me the uncomfortable rooms in their home. I ask this because nearly All of my customers have rooms in their homes that are no comfortable. There are two main reasons for this: ductwork, and air delivery.

Many home owners in the Tulsa area have heating and cooling ducts buried in the concrete slabs of their home. Because of noise concerns, many builders intentionally placed the furnace in the garage.  Most garages are at one end of the house and the master bedroom is at the other end.  As a result, 4 out of 5 homes have master bedrooms that are the most uncomfortable room in the home. Maybe it’s just me, but if my master bedroom is uncomfortable, there’s a problem.  (Do you really care if your kids are a little less comfortable that you? I didn’t think so..)  Because there’s not much you can do to remedy ductwork in the concrete slab, other that make costly repairs that will move the ductwork overhead,  we have to consider other options.

I tell my customers, and it’s true, that the furnace is the most important part of the heating and cooling system.  It’s the most important because the furnace determines the airflow, and the airflow determines your comfort.  Sounds easy, huh?  There are two basic types of furnaces: single and variable speed.  Most homes still have single speed furnaces.  This, along with ductwork in the concrete slab, makes for uneven temperatures throughout the home.  In a single speed furnace, it’s either on, or it’s off.  Your furnace doesn’t care what temperature is.  When it’s on, it’s on. The problem with this type of furnace is that it tends to heat and cool rather quickly.  The problem with this is that it often times lends itself to hot and cold spots. So, what can you do about it?

By installing a Trane variable speed furnace in your home, you can be assured of even temperatures throughout the entire home: even the master bedroom.  It accomplishes this by slowing the blower down to the point that, many times, you don’t even hear the system operating.  The benefit is that you can experience the comfort you and your family deserve, regardless of the outdoor temperature.
