What's New at First Class Heating & Air Conditioning

Making the best decisions about your air conditioning system

Perhaps you may need and will want more than just a new heat pump. Please read on to decide for yourself.

Many of the homes in your neighborhood are at the age that the heat pumps are being replaced. First Class A/C,LLC replaces over 100 hundred pieces of equipment in St. Johns County every year.

The typical homeowner is quite unfamiliar with the process of selecting new heat pump equipment since it's normally done only once every 10-20 years. Many look at their systems and only see "a box" that needs replacing in order to keep conditioned air coming into the home.

It seems reasonable to assume that getting a new heat pump is just like getting a new refrigerator - move out the old one, move in the new one and plug it in. Well, we would like to help you understand that a new heat pump is not an appliance that we can just plug in. It's actually one component in a custom built system that is made specifically for your home. It’s sort of like getting a custom-fitted suit.

Your heat pump is attached to electrical and refrigeration lines, there's an indoor coil that has to be able to talk to it. Then there's the ducting system. Even if the heat pump and all the other components work perfectly, ducting defects can reduce the amount of cooling and heating and the system's efficiency by up to 50%. Ducts age poorly, you know, they wrinkle and sag. Yet when heat pumps are replaced, , less than 3% of installing contractors have the tools or the training to test the ductwork.

First Class A/C, LLC is one of less than 2% of the contractors in the country to become certified by National Comfort Institute to measure the performance of your entire heat pump system. We use instruments that are still made one at a time to help you and us understand the performance of your system. We record the test data on easy to read forms and show you how the components are working together. Sometimes we find the heat pump doesn't even need replacing!

We invite you to get informed so you can make the best decisions about your air conditioning system. Use the following questions to begin the evaluation, then call us with your questions and we can begin to help you decide how to improve comfort and reduce operating costs.

Did you get what you paid for?

We have a confession: In the past, we were not aware of the availability of new tools and methods that could help us diagnose even the toughest comfort problems.

Upon learning about them, First Class A/C,LLc has invested in the training and instruments that have helped thousands of homeowners achieve comfortable, safe and healthy indoor environments.

We recently earned a National Balancing Institute certification and are now one of less than 2000 certified companies in the world! We have learned how to deliver real comfort and energy efficiency.

It’s simple too. We discovered that the elements of comfort- Air, Heat, Cold, Humidity and Energy, are invisible. New technology allows us to measure and record the performance of your air conditioning and heating systems.

• We can deliver relief from:
• Hot or cold rooms
• High Humidity
• Excessive Utility Costs
• Noisy Systems
• Duct leakage
• Dust and poor filtration
• Early equipment failure

ROTOBRUSH

The ROTOBRUSH is the newest technology in DUCT CLEANING and we’ve purchased it just this year. It’s a video assisted DUCT CLEANING machine that brushes and vacuums at the point of contact. It video tapes your DUCT CLEANING experience both before and after so that you can see the job done right. The video camera is sent through the ducts at the time of our FREE ESTIMATE so you can determine if your ducts need to be cleaned or not. The video camera will also often uncover any damaged or leaking ducts, which can be costing you money in electric bills. Contact us to schedule your FREE ESTIMATE today.

Our third newest product line

Our third newest product line is for the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) of your home. There have been articles and general concern for the poor Indoor Air Quality in our nation for several years now. With tighter built homes and more time spent in our homes, the need for better IAQ products has become a leader in the technology field. As with all the other products that we sell, supply, and service, we have tested the IAQ products ourselves in our homes and here at the office to make sure it’s something we can honestly say works. Feel free to browse through our website and take a look at the Indoor Air Quality page to see if you might have a need for some or all of these new technologies, then contact us for a FREE ESTIMATE.
