Tempstar furnace, energy saving air conditioner and Honeywell F-100 air cleaner provide energy savings for a Hilliard, OH home.
Heating & Cooling problem
For the second consecutive year, this homeowner added costly R22 refrigerant to their air conditioner because of a leak in the indoor coil. At 25 years old, the entire system had exceeded its design-life. The old furnace was less than 70% fuel efficient, had a fussy standing-pilot ignition system, and the air filter access was inside the furnace.
Location
- Hilliard, OH 43026
Solution
After assessing the existing arrangement, and conversing with the homeowner with options to save on energy costs, a simple system replacement was custom-designed:
- Tempstar 80% efficiency furnace has a great fit because of its short cabinet—the “step-up” model N8MX with high-efficiency ECM blower motor was selected.
- New indoor coil fit on top, adapted to the supply air plenum, and new refrigerant lines to prevent incompatible oil contamination.
- Honeywell F100 media air cleaner, because the readily-available 16 x 25 x 4” air filter is an economical way to improve indoor air quality.
- Basic air conditioner, N4A3 rated the minimum 13 SEER efficiency, far more efficient than the previous 9 SEER unit.
- Inexpensive Honeywell programmable thermostat meets the state code.
- Payment with Special Financing terms on the purchase was provided by Wells Fargo
- Premium Protection Plan extended warranty covers warranty repair and diagnostic fees until 10th anniversary.
Result
This homeowner now enjoys heat from a furnace with modern electronic ignition, and high-efficiency blower motor.
