To get the best performance and highest efficiency possible from your new system, follow these steps:

1. Always the first step - find the right contractor.
2. Have your contractor perform a complete load calculation. Called a "Manual J" calculation, contractors can perform this test to make sure you get a properly sized unit. An oversized central AC or furnace will cycle on and off too often, cause discomfort or worse!
3. Make sure that all of the components of your new system are designed to work together. Your system will work best if all the pieces take advantage of advances in product design and are matched to each other.
4. Ask your contractor to provide details on the models that you are considering and ask about a variable speed fan unit, which will improve comfort and efficiency and allow continuous air filtering at minimum energy cost.
5. Have your contractor check all ducts. All ducts must be correctly examined to make sure they are sealed and insulated (where outside the building envelope) with supply and return systems balanced.

What to look for when choosing a contractor.

• Check credentials and ask for references. Carrano Aircontracting former customers are an excellent source of information.
• Do they have affiliations with a nationally known manufacturer? Carrano technicians receive factory training to help you determine your specific comfort needs.
• Ask for an on-site evaluation. At Carrano we thoroughly look at your home, evaluate the overall comfort needs and recommend the system that best meets those needs.
• Ask questions. Ask for details about the firm's experience, its long-term stability and expertise of its staff. This becomes especially important if you're adding air conditioning to an existing heating system which requires duct work. New duct work requires precise planning and know-how. Carrano has the knowledge and expertise to get the job done and done right!

The decision about purchasing or upgrading an air conditioner, furnace or other part of your heating and cooling comfort system is a very complicated process. Your house is not a floor plan; it's a complex environmental system; a system can gradually slip out of balance. So before you start the purchase process, take a good, long look at your home.

Are any of these situations familiar?

• One room in your home that is always warmer or cooler than others.
• A bathroom that's humid and damp.
• Cooking odors that linger in the kitchen for days on end.

If any of these situations occur, then your home is trying to tell you something. By sharing this information with a Comfort Specialist at Carranoair, we can then provide you with a comfort system that is truly going to meet your needs. And making the right decision about this purchase allows you to get the greatest benefit from your home comfort system: increased efficiency, reliability, and controlled comfort of your home's indoor environment.
