Choosing an HVAC System

Do you choose a standard system or a high-efficiency unit that substantially lowers your heating and cooling costs? Are you committed to a conventional system that burns fossil fuel or interested in shrinking your carbon footprint with all-electric HVAC?

You likely are most familiar with furnaces, air conditioners, and boilers. Here is a sampling of other popular options:

Air-Source Heat Pump: This system heats and cools, eliminating the need for a separate furnace and air conditioner. Like an air conditioner, the heat pump comprises an outdoor unit that houses a compressor and condenser coil and an indoor air handler with an evaporator coil and blower to circulate air throughout your home. Refrigerant lines connect the two units.

During warm weather, the heat pump extracts heat from your home and sends it outdoors via refrigerant. A reversing valve can change the refrigerant flow, allowing the heat pump to extract heat from outdoor air and send it indoors.

Cold climate heat pumps can work efficiently in temperatures as low as 5° Fahrenheit, making them ideal for our Indiana climate.

Hybrid System: This system combines a heat pump for heating during milder winter weather and cooling in the summer with a furnace for use in extremely cold weather. Also known as a dual-fuel system, this combination can help optimize energy consumption.

Ductless Mini Split: A mini split may be the perfect choice if you want temperature control over every room in your new home.

Like conventional heat pumps, mini splits transfer heat between an outdoor compressor unit and your home, using refrigerant. However, instead of one central air handler and ductwork, the mini split uses one or more indoor air handlers in the rooms throughout your home.

You gain room-by-room temperature control because each air handler has an independent thermostat. The system is highly efficient and does not require ductwork.

Geothermal: This system uses renewable energy from the Earth. The geothermal heat pump inside your home connects to liquid-filled pipes buried on your property. The pipes, called loops, serve as a heat exchanger and can exhaust or extract heat underground.

Temperatures underground remain stable even when the air above ground is frigid, making geothermal heating a good choice for areas with cold winter weather.

These systems are eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and have lower operating costs in the long run.

The Latest in HVAC Technology

Home construction is the perfect time to install the newest HVAC technology. You can select a system that is not only efficient but smart.

For example, smart thermostats and app-controlled HVAC systems allow you to adjust settings, get maintenance alerts, and view energy usage data from your smartphone.

Variable-speed motors improve efficiency. Rather than turning off and on during a heating or cooling cycle, these motors can adjust their speed depending on your home’s comfort needs.

Running at a lower speed for a longer period of time creates more consistent temperatures and better energy efficiency.

Our Blue Fox Heating, Cooling, & Plumbing experts can help you choose a system with advanced features and cutting-edge technology for maximum efficiency and comfort.

HEAR WHY THEY LOVE BLUE FOX

I called two other people to try to have someone come out and take a look at a leak just on the outside of our house. No one called back. I called Blue Fox at 8 AM on a Saturday and it was fixed by 3:00 same day. It’s a modern plumbing miracle! It wasn’t cheap, but they were responsive, professional, friendly & got it fixed.
We were promised a significant reduction in monthly heating costs compared to our 20-year-old system.

Instead, our bills went up.

We were promised this system would be more than strong enough to cool the entire house in the summer.

Instead, it mostly only cools the downstairs.

As a result, we've had to install a window AC in one of the upstairs bedrooms to make the room livable.

We also had to stop using the other upstairs bedroom to help mitigate costs.

We also have to run this new HVAC system at max most of the time (while a box fan runs next to the upstairs bedroom vent) to help compensate for the upstairs window-AC unit's lack of cooling power, which makes everyone downstairs miserably cold.

My theory:

They installed a heatpump @ the furnace, but still charged us the cost a normal AC unit.

Why do I think so?

Partly because that would explain why this system runs at half the ability of a proper system.

Also, after they installed the entire system, they came back (unannounced) a day later, to remove the unit they installed.

The techs said they accidentally installed the wrong thing.

Those techs did not want to answer any specific questions about it.

Instead, they just spent some hours swapping out our new furnace unit for a mysterious "other" unit, swapped out the thermostat that goes with it (which has a hard-capped cooling limit of 60°F), and then left.

Months later, Summer arrived.

Several weeks into Summer, I lost all patience with it.

I (a father in his 50s) am already chronically sleep deprived due to health conditions.

I can't afford to get even less sleep. But that's what happens when this system can't keep up with the Summer heat.

We are the family that lives here.
We are not the property owners.
We merely live here.

She appreciates that we *try to keep her stress low by trying to take care of things.

Once we realized this new AC doesn't even come CLOSE to what they promised, I called Blue Fox to have one of their techs come out to see what they could do.

However, the secretary let us know:
1. Yes. They are willing to come out.
However
2. There's nothing they can really do for us.

If it's not cooling the upstairs, there's not really anything they can do about it.

So after we 'sat' with that fact for a day, we told her never mind then.

Now, we (tenants) wouldn't really mind a heatpump system instead, *IF* that system included a separate heating/cooling unit (each with its own temperature controls) for each section of the house;
- as heatpump systems are known for.

That way, we could save money by only heating/cooling per the needs of each isolated area inside the home, and we'd be assured of ample heating and cooling for each area.

However, it makes no sense for the property owner to pay the same price for a singular heatpump unit (if that's what they swapped in) for this entire house, especially when those units only have HALF the life-expectancy of a normal AC system.

-And then having it work overtime (and failing) to make the entire home livable, while raising our monthly utility costs compared to the decades-old system we replaced.

Meanwhile, during these couple of months, I haven't told the property owner about any of this, because I didn't see a point in causing her more stress over something that I've been told (by Blue Fox) we are basically SOL about.

However, the more I've thought about it, I think she may as well know what's up with this system, just so she's not blindsided about it next year when we expect to move out.

We were considering a few more years here. But this particular development is a multifaceted catalyst of hardship.

I'm going to send her a link to this review after I post it.

But this isn't her fault. It really isn't fair to her that she/we got scammed (I do think that's the correct word) by Blue Fox.

I have no doubt the next tenants (or future owners) will not be happy with their quality of living either (mainly during the Summer months) when theirs is also thrown back to the 1940s.
BlueFox is the best heating & Air company. Every time I call and need anything, they are so pleasant and helpful and always get a technician to come out instantly. Thank you Blue Fox.
