Buyer Beware: New Furnaces Don't Always Do The Job New Report Reveals Little Known Heating and Cooling Secrets

Are you in the market for a new furnace, heat pump or central air conditioner? Authorities say to be careful when making your selection.

Are you in the market for a new furnace, heat pump or central air conditioner? Authorities say to be careful when making your selection.

The latest high efficiency equipment is built to be up to twice as energy efficient as older models, so you would expect to save money on your utility bills. However, recent Department of Energy research finds that many newly installed systems waste 25% to 40% of the energy used to run them. Even after investing thousands of dollars, many consumers still suffer from uncomfortable rooms and high utility bills.
A new report prepared by the Consumer Protection Division of Comfort Institute explains why this can happen and how to ensure your new heating and cooling system works the way it is supposed to. "The wrong equipment, improperly installed, and connected to an inadequate duct system, could sentence you to over 20 years of excessive utility and repair bills," says Comfort Institute researcher Brendan Reid. "Don't rush into this very important decision. If you make the wrong choice, you probably won't be able to justify tearing it out and starting all over again. You'll literally have to live IN your decision for as long as you own your home."

The Comfort Institute special report is available online at no charge at www.comfortinstitute.org. It provides information you should know before talking to contractors and shares little known facts about heating and air conditioning systems. The report gathers together research undertaken by the Department Of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency and utility companies nationwide. It also draws on the training resources of heating and cooling equipment manufacturers and trade associations. Finally, the report shares advice from consumer protection groups, publications and investigative TV news stories.

Unfortunately, many heating and cooling contractors aren't aware of this important new knowledge. The scientists and engineers state that there are three broad reasons your new furnace or air conditioner may not work properly:

1. Your new system may be the wrong size for your home.

2. Your existing air duct system may have major hidden deficiencies.

3. Your new system may be installed improperly.

Authorities have determined that the most important step is to pick the right contractor: one who has the training, instruments and procedures to help ensure your new system will work the way the manufacturer intended.

A good contractor will offer to perform a computerized equipment sizing calculation and a "Whole House Comfort Checkup", using special diagnostic instruments such as an

Infiltrometer blower door and an air flow capture hood.

For a free copy of the complete report entitled "Tips and Secrets To Buying a New Heating and Cooling System", visit www.comfortinstitute.org. This Web site also contains another free report entitled "How To Identify A Good Heating and Cooling Contractor".

If you do not have access to the Internet, the two printed reports are also available together for $10 (postage paid) by calling Comfort Institute at 1-800-933-5656.
