Geothermal Heat Pumps

Residentialgeothermal heat pumps have been around for a very long time. They are energy efficient, are low cost in the long run, and work with nature instead of against it. Why don’t more companies talk about this heating and cooling option?

Sadly, it’s because some common myths are still circulating about geothermal heat pumps. Add that to the initial high cost and area restrictions on these systems and it’s easy for companies to stick to traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Here at Chaves HVAC we break down the myths and open up this alternative option for our clients. So, what is geothermal heating?

In a nutshell, geothermal furnaces exchange the heat or the cold from your Marlborough, MA home with the temperature of the earth below you. Unlike the weather above, five feet into the earth, the temperature stays the same. And that energy is what geothermal heating and cooling systems tap into to keep your home comfortable. Depending on the model you consider, you may be able to heat your water supply as well with this clean, renewable energy.

On the flip side, they may cost more than traditional systems to set up and not all Massachusetts homes or buildings will be able to use geothermal HVAC systems. While these are big considerations, they should not hold you back from considering all the options available to you.

The professions at Chaves HVAC are ready and willing to help—give us a call at 978-562-5309. Request geothermal heat pump service online today.

Heat Pumps

Heat pump technology has changed a great deal since it was invented. Although it was a byproduct of a deep freezer experiment, the heat pumps of today provide an effective, efficient way to deliver heating and cooling services to homeowners in Massachusetts.

How does a heat pump work? Heat pumps operate by transferring heat from one location to another.

In the colder months, heat pumps take heat from outdoors and send it indoors to warm your home. Then in the warmer months, they do the reverse like an air conditioner and remove the heat from indoors and move it outside. Our professionals at Chaves HVAC can talk with you about your specific heating and cooling needs to see if a heat pump may be a good solution for you.

One big advantage of heat pumps is they do not burn fuel such as wood, oil, or natural gas. This means you typically reduce your energy bills in the long run, and your family’s heating and cooling needs are met in a more environmentally friendly manner.

Give Chaves HVAC a call at 978-562-5309 to find out how heat pump technology has evolved and what models might fit your heating and cooling needs. Request heat pump service online today.

Indoor Air Quality

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American spends 93 percent of their time indoors. It’s no wonder that poor indoor air quality can have such a detrimental effect on your health. Our professionals at Chaves HVAC can test your indoor air quality as well as provide tips and services to help you improve it in your Massachusetts home.

Common indoor air pollutants include dust and dust mites, pet hair and dander, bacteria and viruses, smoke, and chemicals from cleaning supplies and new furniture. Most heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems use an air filter to remove some of these pollutants. However, the size of particulates removed may vary depending on the quality of the filter.

Poor indoor air quality can lead to general discomfort or possibly more serious health issues. Asthma and allergies can both be aggravated by poor indoor air quality, causing additional respiratory distress.

Instead, consider having one of our air quality professionals come out and evaluate your Marlborough, MA home. Air duct cleaning, air purification systems, and HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters may be recommended as part of a remediation program. Our trained experts will also inspect your HVAC system for potential leaks of carbon monoxide and other dangerous substances.

Chaves HVAC wants to be your partner in providing safe and healthy indoor air quality. Call us at 978-562-5309 for more details. Request indoor air quality service online today.

Water Heaters

Water heaters are one of the systems in your Massachusetts home you may be most dependent upon. Without a functioning water heater, it’s impossible to wash dishes, do laundry, and so many other daily tasks in your lifestyle you take for granted. With the water heater options available today, you should rarely be inconvenienced from a lack of hot water any longer. There are two primary options for you to consider for your Marlborough, MA home.

The first is a tank water heater. This type of water system is most commonly found in homes across the United States, is typically straightforward to install, and costs less initially. However, it’s also prone to the most common problem affecting a water heater: it can run out of hot water, be an energy sucker, and cause a flood if something should go wrong and it leaks.

Tankless systems, while they do cost more at the start, offer you as much or as little hot water exactly when you want it. These hot water systems provide you your hot water on demand. They are generally better at conserving energy and are smaller in size so they can be installed in more places than a traditional tank system.

When you are ready to explore your options or to make home water heater improvements, whether it is a replacement, new installation, repair, or maintenance, our team at Chaves HVAC would be happy to help you—give us a call at 978-562-5309. Request water heater service online today.
