Every home is different. Lifestyles, comfort levels and budgets vary from family to family. And
while this concept seems rather obvious, many companies in the HVAC industry emphasize the
“one-size-fits-all” approach. It simply doesn’t work. You may be able to maintain 70 degrees in
your home all winter long, but you certainly aren’t comfortable and you’re not maximizing your
energy savings. At Standard Heating & Cooling we look at the situation totally different.
On the initial home visit our Comfort Consultants start with a survey to find out what you are
looking for and what is most important to you and your family. Some families have energy
efficiency, warranties and air quality as their priorities. They need to cut their utility bills, don’t
want unplanned repair bills and have a child with bad allergies. Other families may have
different priorities such as; reduction of noise, fixing the notorious, cold corner bedroom and
making the house less dry in the winter. To them energy efficiency is good, but the other
issues are just more important.
We measure your home to calculate the energy requirements accurately so your equipment is
sized correctly. Even though this takes extra time, it is time well spent. If the equipment is too
large, it will keep kicking on to provide short blasts of air, then shut off. Called short cycling, it’
s neither efficient nor the most comfortable way to heat or cool your home. (Imagine how
much gasoline you would waste if you shut your car off at every stoplight.)
The home comfort products of today have different requirements than the equipment of
yesterday, if they are going to deliver the efficiency and comfort they are capable of. For
example, does your chimney need an aluminum liner or does the size of your ductwork need
to be changed to help eliminate noise or increase airflow to a particular room. Our Comfort
Consultants inspect your existing system to ensure you achieve the desired results.
The “take-it-or-leave-it” proposal is just not acceptable to us. We describe the different levels
of products and services available that will meet the needs you expressed to us. We answer
questions and offer advice to help YOU decide what system best fits your situation. Most
important of all; we put everything in WRITING and SIGN it. This helps eliminate any confusion
or misunderstandings down the road and protects you from hidden little extras once the work
has begun.
We realize that the Comfort Consultant plays a crucial role in Standard Heating & Cooling’s
ultimate goal of providing you with Total Comfort and Satisfaction. From common courtesies
such as; being on time and being polite, to technical issues such as; system diagnosis and
equipment selection, our consultants are striving to understand your needs, and exceed your
expectations. It is our goal that you see them as an advisor you can trust, to help you make
an important decision, not a salesman who is trying to force you into a decision.
