Specific HVAC Considerations for Rochester Hills

Rochester Hills is home to many of the larger homes (2,500+ sq ft) in the Detroit Metro Area, particularly in neighborhoods on the northeast like Clear Creek, Stony Hollow, and Mill Stream Village. Larger homes generally require bigger systems and more maintenance to keep a highly efficient system. These homes are constructed with 2 – 3 car garages and feature bonus rooms above them, often leading to inconsistent temperatures in that area of the home.

Additionally, these homes are at a high risk of improper zoning, which can lead to uneven temperatures in different rooms of the home. Below, we’ve listed some specific considerations for residents of Rochester Hills to keep in mind in maintaining their HVAC systems.

Proper System Sizing is Crucial for Large Homes

Improperly sized HVAC systems are common in Rochester Hills.  If an HVAC system is too large for the home, the system will cycle more often, cause excess humidity in the home, and cost the homeowner more energy costs. Inversely, if the system is too small, it will struggle to heat and cool the home. Detailed load calculations taking into account the home’s size, layout, insulation, window types, and orientation must be done in order to select the HVAC system that matches the home’s needs. Using our database of hundreds of homes across Rochester Hills, we are able to easily size your system for peak efficiency.  

Many people choose to have a high-efficiency AC installation due to the significant energy savings over time. 

System Zoning Saves Energy & Money

The purpose of zoning is to heat and cool different areas of the home based on their usage and occupancy. In larger homes specifically, there may be different preferences for temperatures and usage patterns. Utilizing multiple thermostats allows the homeowner to heat and cool their home only where needed, improving the efficiency of the HVAC system. 

Many homeowners of larger homes are choosing Oasis for heating installation because we focus heavily on creating zones that work well in the home. 

Ductwork Design is imperative for Optimal Airflow and Temperature

Poorly designed ductwork results in uneven heating and cooling, higher energy use, and general discomfort. Ductwork should be planned to minimize lengths and bends, which allows for efficient air distribution. It is also important to make sure the ducts are properly sealed and insulated, especially in unconditioned spaces. Due to the complex nature of larger homes, many companies take shortcuts with the maintenance. At Oasis, we ensure every part of the ductwork is fully cleaned and checked for leaks. 

We check the ductwork in the home to ensure it is properly sealed with all AC maintenance services.

Poor Insulation and Air Sealing Heavily Impacts Energy Efficiency 

Larger homes will naturally have a larger amount of areas predisposed to heat loss or gain through the walls, ceilings, and floors. In some cases, the best HVAC investment is enhancing the insulation in the attic, walls, and floors, which will reduce the heating and cooling load. We also recommend air sealing around windows, doors, and other points in the home that leak air. 

This is why many homeowners are choosing to have heating maintenance coupled with insulation checks done on their homes.

Maintaining Indoor Air Quality Proves More Difficult in Larger Homes

Larger homes may accumulate more pollutants in less-used areas or due to the high volume of air present within the house. Proper maintenance of the ventilation is essential to ensure healthy indoor air quality. Mechanical ventilation systems, commonly referred to as Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) or Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs), are designed to introduce fresh air into the home without causing temperature loss or energy inefficiency.

Integrating Renewable Energy Saves on HVAC Costs

In larger homes, it can be cost-effective to incorporate renewable energy sources such as solar panels or geothermal heat pumps. Depending on the home and location, this will offset the higher energy costs typical for larger homes. These renewable energy systems can be integrated with your existing HVAC system. We recommend geothermal heat pumps which take advantage of the constant temperatures underground to heat and cool the home, which translates to an average savings of $1,500 annually for Rochester Hills homeowners.
