Frequently Asked Questions

The SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is the measurement of how efficient your heating and cooling system is. The SEER is the amount of cooling that your system will generate for every dollar spent on electricity. For instance, a three-ton unit may possess a SEER efficiency rating of 13, 14 or 15. Plus, units with higher SEER are considered more efficient. The SEER rating can be anywhere between 13 and 17.

A split system cooling unit has a nominal SEER rating. The rating can be raised with the upgrade of the same series of indoor cooling unit. The SEER rating of a unit or system is calculated based on the different types of equipment installed in the home. The outdoor equipment – the heat pump or air conditioner – and the indoor equipment – the evaporator coil and furnace, all Where can I get replacement parts for my Bryant equipment?add up to the total rating.

Generally, heating and cooling systems work hard to provide the warm or cool air that you desire each day. The routine tasks done by these systems bring about normal wear and tear. But, with regular maintenance, you can make sure that your system runs optimally for a long time and it does not need constant repairs. Preventive maintenance is responsible for discovering leaks, rot, rust, soot, corroded electrical contacts and frayed wires. It is recommended that you ask for preventive maintenance regularly.

Heat pumps and air conditioners should be treated to preventive maintenance at least once a year. On the other hand, gas-fired equipment only needs to be treated every other year because they are more efficient. Technicians should inspect the following parts of boilers or furnace systems: pipes, ductwork, dampers, valves, registers, pumps, radiators, blowers, fuel lines, oil tanks, gas meters and the chimney. Inspection of heat pumps and air conditioners should also include compressors, fans, indoor coils, outdoor coils, refrigerant lines and line kits.

Ordinary filters do the job of keeping your system and the ductwork clean. However, they do not do much to improve indoor air quality. If you want to improve indoor air quality, you need a media filter. This type of filter is located between the main return duct and the blower cabinet. Its strategic location improves the removal of dust and particles at least seven times more than an ordinary filter. Furthermore, if you use a pleated media filter, you can make sure that even insecticide dust and airborne pathogens are filtered out of indoor air. It is important that you select a filter that goes well with your blower’s capacity. Turner’s Service Co., Inc. recommends that you replace disposable filters every month. If the filters in your system are washable, you must clean them every month.

Because of this, you can find replacement Bryant filters only through Bryant dealers. But, just remember that Bryant filters are reusable and can be washed in cold water.
