I would like an independent HVAC expert to help me with my residential central air systems. The primary goal of this consultation is to enhance my overall comfort at home. I bought a large home in August 2023. I have two propane forced air systems, one in a crawl space and the other in an attic. I also have an oil forced air system. The main concerns are (1) the properly serviced attic system that handles part of the upstairs is insufficiently sized and/or installed, (2) the crawl space system needs to be zoned as it services two different areas with distinctively different usage demands and (3) all of the systems are aging.
Key issues I'm facing:
- Master bedroom system does not meet cooling demand - 12 hours/day of runtime to maintain only 78
- Another part of the home served by a single system needs to be zoned
- High energy bills
- Age
I'm looking for a professional who can:
- Diagnose the current issues with the systems
- Recommend cost-effective solutions to improve the performance and efficiency of the system
- Provide tips on how to maintain optimal comfort
Ideal skills and experience include:
- Extensive background in residential HVAC systems
- Proven track record of improving energy efficiency
- Excellent problem-solving skills
- Ability to provide clear and understandable advice
- Consideration of using mini splits to address the issues rather than replacing the central systems
- Not affiliated with any manufacturer or installer - this job is professional advice only
- Local to Philadelphia, PA region
