We Are Experts in Troy HVAC Systems
Located on the northern side of the Detroit Metro Area, Troy is a middle-class city with a cost of living approximately 6% greater than the national average. Part of this cost of living is because of the increased energy costs in Troy due to the larger home sizes compared to other parts of the Detroit metro area. We have developed a system for installing and maintaining Troy HVAC systems to ensure homeowners see the lowest costs and highest quality in all things heating and cooling.
Troy homes are a bit larger and more spread out than in areas further south in the Detroit metro area. These homes commonly have more surface area exposed to the sun and use brick instead of siding with insulative properties, leading to higher costs. Read below for information about how this impacts HVAC systems in Troy.
Increased Surface Area of the Homes Leads to Higher Heating and Cooling
Larger single-story homes commonly seen in Troy coupled with the increased space between houses means there will be less mutual shading and more exposure to wind. HVAC systems must be larger to heat and cool these homes efficiently, with special zoning to manage comfort levels throughout the home efficiently considering the areas more apt to sun and wind exposure.
This is why many people choose to have our team install their HVAC system considering factors such as sun and wind exposure.
Bricks Are Not Inherently Well Insulated and Must be Compensated For
Large brick walls, if not properly insulated (as commonly seen in older homes), will continually expose the home to heat loss or gain. The insulation beyond the brick itself must be of high quality and prepared to keep the temperature of the home stable. Homeowners may consider adding energy-efficient windows and doors to reduce thermal bridging and leaking. If you live in a home built pre-2005 in Troy, we recommend a full inspection of the wall to ensure the insulation is still functioning properly.
Consider a heating maintenance service to ensure your home is properly maintaining its temperature.
Improper Ventilation is a Concern, Especially in Older Homes
If the home is not properly ventilated, indoor air quality will suffer. Brick is not a good material for ventilation, so mechanical systems such as heat recovery ventilators or energy recovery ventilators must be installed to introduce fresh air into the home and minimize the loss of temperature in the home.
We ensure each home is properly ventilated with every AC installation service.
Landscaping and Environmental Factors Affect the Thermal Performance of the Home
Larger lot sizes common in Troy provide more opportunities for landscaping features to improve the home’s HVAC efficiency. Strategically placing windbreaks such as trees and bushes will reduce heating and cooling loads, which will improve the comfort of the home in addition to lowering the HVAC cost every month.
We recommend potential options for landscaping by request with all AC & heating repairs.
Troy Residents are Paying Less to Cool their Homes on Average
Compared to the Michigan average, Troy residents are paying less to cool their homes due to the colder climate in northern Michigan. Due to this, many people are lapsing on their AC maintenance, which is causing their costs to rise.
This is why we perform cost-effective AC maintenance to ensure your system is operating at peak efficiency when needed.
On The Other Hand, Troy Residents are Paying More For Heating Their Homes
The northern location of Troy is a double-edged sword, with residents paying more for heating each year due to the prolonged cold season. If heating maintenance is not properly attended to, the system will be overworked and deteriorate quickly.
That’s why many Troy residents are using us for our energy efficient heating maintenance.
Troy’s Air Quality Necessitates Air Quality Checks
Due to its location in the Detroit Metro, Troy has an air quality lower than the Michigan and US average. It is imperative that your HVAC system is properly cleaned and filtering the air entering the home to ensure you are breathing clean air.
Many Troy residents periodically have home air quality checks to ensure their families are breathing clean air.
Lower Precipitation Levels Lead to More Humidification Needs
Due to Troy’s lower precipitation levels than Michigan and the US overall, systems in Troy will need to compensate and add humidity back into the air to ensure the air in the home is not too dry. Dry air in the home can lead to lower sleep quality, sore throats, and a plethora of other outcomes.
If you think the air in your home is too dry, there may be an issue with the HVAC system. Our AC repair services ensure your home’s hair contains the right amount of humidity.
