Ambient’s Guide to Commercial Efficiency

December 18th, 2023

Commercial buildings are designed to be as efficient and comfortable as possible these days, but that takes a lot of work. For instance, an old industrial boiler or furnace isn’t going to give the same levels of efficiency as a system designed a few years ago, and it’s only going to do that during a specifically cold winter. What about summers, or the in-between seasons like fall or spring?

That’s what we’d like to talk about today. A commercial HVAC replacement in Vineland, NJ could net you a lot of cost-savings that you weren’t even considering before. Things like modular heat pumps are not only being incentivized by the local, state, and federal government, but they’re also going to save you money on energy bills year after year.

What Is Included in a Tune-Up?

December 4th, 2023

Each year when winter comes, we all sit by the fireplace or vents and enjoy the warmth that our heating systems create. This heat allows us to live our lives comfortably, focusing on important things like school, work, and spending time with the ones we love. But what if your heating system can’t keep your home as warm as it could last year?

This is an all-too-familiar experience with heating systems. The honeymoon phase is over and your heating unit in Greenwich, Hainesport, or even Evesham is starting to provide less heat or run up your energy bill. It might even start producing odors that make you feel unsafe in your own home. These are problems that come from yearly wear and tear, and there’s only one real way to mitigate them.

Introducing the heating tune-up in Cumberland County. This yearly service keeps your heating equipment in great shape and has a few extra benefits included that we’ll go into down below.

Is a Zone Control System Right for Me?

November 20th, 2023

Zone control is an interesting subject. Many homeowners think there are DIY solutions to reducing the amount of hot or cold spots that exist in your home, but things can get very complicated, very fast.

Your ductwork has to work with a lot of air volume and air pressure. Your heating unit in Avalon, Ocean City, or Sea Isle City is likely working to the exact specifications of your home’s air volume. The ductwork carries this air where it needs to go, but there’s enough pressure and force to push the heated air into the spaces of your home where you can feel it. If you mess with your ductwork or ventilation system, thinking you’ll be adjusting the comfort and treating a cold spot, you might end up messing with the air pressure of your ductwork and causing discomfort somewhere else.

Or worse—you might harm the efficiency or effectiveness of your heater! Keep reading to learn why zone control heating in Cape May County is a solid choice for our customers.

Winter HVAC Prep Checklist

November 6th, 2023

People prepare for the winter season differently. Perhaps you and your family take the time to set up decorations and shoot photos for a card that you send out to your friends and family. Or maybe you take the time to bundle up and watch your favorite movies and TV shows. That’s the beauty of the winter, the cold outside makes the warm and cozy inside of your home seem that much more enticing.

But many homeowners don’t exactly have a plan to prepare their HVAC systems for the winter. Your heater is one of the important things you rely on in order to live your life comfortable. If something were to happen to your heating system, or if your heating bills were to increase, it might affect your home comfort and your winter traditions. We can’t let that happen!

For customers in Wenonah, Glassboro, and Swedesboro, follow along with some interesting tips to jump start your HVAC system for the winter weather. And don’t forget, if you encounter any problems, you can call our team for heating service in Gloucester County!

Is a Radiant Heating System Right for Me?

October 23rd, 2023

There are two main types of heating systems that we service in the Haddon Heights, Tavistock, and Cherry Hill areas: forced air and radiant.

Forced-air heating systems are the most common but not always the best choice for homeowners. These include things like furnaces, heat pumps, and anything that actually heats the air inside of a house. Radiant heating systems are different, focusing on using either electrical lines or hot water to radiate heat through the walls and floors of a home, heating objects in space as well as the air.

Radiant heating is a great type of heating that’s still used today, but in order to figure out if it’s right for you and your home, we’ll need to go over some things. Our team can get you set up with radiant heating service in Camden County, NJ if that’s the right choice for you and your family.

The Importance of Furnace Tune-Ups

September 25th, 2023

Are any of our readers into cars? If so, then you probably don’t need a team of HVAC technicians to tell you how important an oil change or a tune-up is for your beloved vehicle. Maintenance and inspections are important aspects of owning machines that we depend on, and your heating technology is no different.

Furnaces are unlike other systems where an inspection focuses only on efficiency and power. Furnaces require an inspection during maintenance, since they’re actually performing combustion when other heating appliances are just using electricity. This is important because it can help you and your family rest easy knowing that your furnace isn’t leaking gas or carbon monoxide.

For today, let’s just talk about the importance of a furnace tune-up in Cape May County. Customers in Avalon, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, and practically everywhere else in our area will benefit from this kind of service in one way or another.

The Difference Between a Good and Bad AC

September 11th, 2023

At this point, you’ve likely had a lot of quality time with your air conditioner. The amount of heatwaves, high humidity warnings, and just generally high temperatures we’ve endured this year is record-breaking. Our air conditioners have been functioning non-stop for weeks at a time, so you might have gotten used to some of the sounds and little quirks that your system has.

There’s nothing wrong with an air conditioner that has a few quirks, right? As long as it pumps cool air into your home, it’s probably fine.

This sentiment can get you into some trouble though, if you’re not careful. Below, we’ll go over some ways that you can identify a good air conditioner or a bad one. If you think your AC is in the second category, be sure to schedule AC repair in Camden County. Our team can be out to Haddon Heights, Tavistock, Cherry Hill, and beyond!
