If your A/C system is over 10 years old, needs frequent
repairs, or doesn't keep the house as cool and comfortable anymore, it may be time to replace it with a new
high-efficiency model.
Many accessories
are available we can add to your comfort system to fit the lifestyle and
quality of
you and your family.
More and more health concerned people pay
attention to indoor air
quality. You may experience health effects from indoor air pollutant
soon after exposure or possibly even years later. Air conditioning is
able to prevent or reduce
some of the health effects

The way houses and buildings are constructed to conserve energy has
reduced the natural ventilation
of fresh air, which, in the worst case, results in sick building syndrome. When
you stop ventilation of the house, you reduce the energy required to heat and
cool the house. But this means also that a
lot of the same air is maintained within the house, re-circulating the same air and
pollutants day after day. Dust, smoke, bacteria, viruses, mold, fungus,
mildew and gasses circulate through the house.
The dust comes from the skin, hair, clothes or just comes off
shoes when we walk in and out. The mildew, fungus and molds can come in
along with the dust. Gasses can be caused by dyes,
paints, varnishes and adhesives.
Solutions to lower the concentration of indoor air pollutants
are ventilation, filters and humidity
control. Air conditioning offers these solutions. Every air
conditioning unit has a filter. The type of filter depends on the type
of system.
There is also a close correlation between a person's
performance and the temperature of his immediate surroundings.
An environment that is too hot, too cold
or too damp will certainly not contribute to higher
working efficiency.
It is
scientifically proven that:
- Accidents tend to occur more frequently during extreme
temperatures.
- Mental performance and work rhythm
drop off sharply when it is too hot.

Creating the right climate is a complex
matter. Several factors determine which equipment is the best solution
for you. Here are some things
to keep in mind.
 To
what extent do you want to control the indoor climate?
Do you want cooling only? Or do you also want ventilation
and/or heating? The choice will determine the type of system.
Which
kind of room or rooms?
A shop? An office? A bedroom or living room? Each application
requires its own system.
Capacity?
A system with too high capacity will lead to damp, fluctuating
temperatures and high energy bills. With a too low capacity you will
never reach the desired temperature. Choosing the right capacity is
mainly having an installer calculate the capacity needs. He will take
into account the influences on the capacity need like solar
infiltration, lighting, number of occupants, etc.
Place
of the outdoor unit?
 The
outdoor unit should get an appropriate place, on a solid base,
accessible for maintenance, away from windows and outside recreational
areas.
Place
of the indoor unit?
The choice of the model will be determined by the possibilities
to place the unit. Is there a false ceiling? Is there free space on
the wall? Etc. Also the location of the unit is of great importance.
Each unit has its own air distribution pattern. A wrong location may
lead to air flow, poor servicing and noisy background.
Air
purification?
The dust particles floating in the air can be removed by means
of filters in the indoor units. Depending on the level of filtration we
offer many different filters to fit your needs.
Selection
of the installer?
The most important is to be advised by a good licensed
contractor. Keep It Cool, Inc. will calculate, draw up and install
the required system according to your needs. The skilled advice and
craftsmanship we provide will ensure you of a good quality installation
and comfort in your home or business for years to come. |
