Short Pump

Air Conditioning

Although lots of people are excited when the weather starts to warm up in the spring after a long, cold winter, that excitement begins to wane when things start getting hot and humid in the dog days of summer. Sipping cool drinks, staying in the shade, and taking a dip in the pool can help, but sometimes your body just needs a break in a comfortably air-conditioned home.

If you live in Short Pump, you know how uncomfortable and even potentially dangerous extremely hot weather can get. Our professional team at DeltaTemp wants to be sure you have a reliable, working air conditioning system throughout the summer to keep you and your family safe and comfortable.

Most air conditioning systems have an average life of at least eight to 10 years, with many well-maintained systems lasting longer than that. As a result, investing in an air conditioning unit can be a wise investment and being sure it’s well maintained throughout the years is an even wiser one.

Our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals are well versed in all major makes and models and can help you choose the best air conditioning system for your home. In addition, we are happy to come out to inspect and clean your air conditioner to ensure it is ready for the summer, and we provide repair services if you happen to have problems during the warm months here in Virginia.

Air Ducts

Do you have a mystery in your home? Perhaps your house never feels quite comfortable in terms of its temperature even if your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is in good repair. Or maybe your family suffers many allergies or respiratory issues. Or perhaps you notice odd noises inside your walls occasionally. Your mystery may be related to air duct issues.

It might be time to have your ductwork system in your Short Pump home inspected to see if leaks or lack of insulation may be causing your problems. All of us at DeltaTemp know that ductwork is not the first thing you think of when you are facing an HVAC issue; however, it is a vital part of your home’s heating and cooling system and often overlooked and neglected. In some cases, registers are placed in odd locations in a home, which can cause uneven cooling and heating distribution. This is something our professionals can easily address.

Most air duct systems have leaks if they are not properly sealed. These small gaps or cracks can result in hundreds of dollars in lost energy every year for your Virginia home. By inviting in our air duct sealing professionals, you will start recouping your costs immediately. In many homes, uninsulated ducts can also result in energy loss, and our team can help you identify and remedy that problem as well.

Ductless Systems

Many heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) options are available on the market today. Different offerings can meet varying homeowners’ needs here in Virginia. One lesser known option is a ductless system. Ductless systems are not part of a more traditional HVAC system, which allows you to customize the climate of particular areas of your home.

Our trained professionals at DeltaTemp can help you determine what heating and cooling situations may benefit from a ductless system. Common scenarios include heating or cooling a rarely used space like a guest bedroom or sunroom, as well as helping family members who prefer different temperatures stay comfortable.

Ductless systems are more expensive at the outset, but they can result in lower energy bills due to the fact the heated and cooled air does not have to travel through a ductwork system. In addition, only a very small hole is required for installation to connect the indoor and outdoor units, which means no leakage around the unit.

Call DeltaTemp at 804-739-5854 to learn more about ductless units and how they can supply or supplement your home’s heating and cooling requirements. Request ductless system service online today.

Furnaces

When fall rolls around, be sure you have your winter heating system on your mind. You can save a lot of stress if you ensure your existing furnace is ready and waiting for the cold weather in Virginia. If you are happy with your current furnace, be sure you schedule a maintenance visit that includes an inspection, cleaning, or tune-up.

If you are ready for a new furnace, take the time to talk with our DeltaTemp professionals about selecting the best furnace for your needs. Many makes and models are available to suit just about any home size, budget, and desired features.

Our expert team can help you size your furnace so it fits the size, design, and building material of your Short Pump home as well as your local climate. We can also go over features such as variable speeds, air filtration, and zone heating. Our goal is to match you with the best furnace for your home and budget.

Buying a new furnace can be a significant investment, but remember that all new furnaces will be more energy efficient than old ones. That means you can recoup at least some of your initial purchase investment in terms of reduced energy bills. You may want to look at fuel prices and factor those into your final decision about a new furnace purchase.

When you are ready to get serious about a furnace purchase, call DeltaTemp at 804-739-5854. We are waiting by our phones to help. Request furnace service online today.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

If you are concerned about energy waste, carbon impact, air quality, noise issues, or you just would like to save more money over time, a residential geothermal heat pump may be the answer to your heating and cooling needs.

While a geothermal system is definitely not inexpensive to install, it is one of the most cost-effective ways to heat and cool your home on a steady, reliable basis. Because it works in tandem with nature, a geothermal heating and cooling system uses less fossil fuels, does not require as much maintenance as traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and can cost less over the long run than other ways of heating and cooling your home.

Depending on the model, geothermal pumps may also be able to take on the task of supplying your Virginia home with hot water at a much lower price than a separate system offers. Geothermal energy is very flexible.

It’s also worth noting that these systems can last for generations and may be eligible for federal and local grants. Check out the available programs promoting geothermal furnaces in Short Pump and see what you may qualify for from the government.

The best way to find out if your home is able to take advantage of a geothermal HVAC system is to contact our professionals at DeltaTemp—give us a call at 804-739-5854. Request geothermal heat pump service online today.

Heat Pumps

Developments in heat pump technology have accelerated in recent years. When heat pumps were first introduced, they were nearly all air-source models and only a viable heating and cooling option in moderate climates. However, many more heat pump options are available today for Virginia homeowners.

Our team at DeltaTemp can provide more details about all the heat pump options available on the market for you. Here is a brief description of current offerings:

• Air-source heat pumps move heat between the inside of your home and the outdoors, depending on the season. The heat is pushed inside during winter and outside during summer.
• High-efficiency heat pumps have excellent dehumidification capabilities for hot and humid climates.
• Mini split heat pumps are designed to work well in ductless homes.
• Split-system heat pump with built-in second stage heating, such as a furnace backup, provides more reliable heat in extra cold climates.

Since heat pumps do not need to burn fuel to create heat, your energy costs are generally a fraction of what you might pay for conventional heating services. As a result, they can save you money and reduce your overall energy consumption.

To learn more about any of these types of heat pumps, call DeltaTemp at 804-739-5854 . We would be happy to provide additional information about heat pumps for your Short Pump home. Request heat pump service online today.

Indoor Air Quality

As a society, most of us stay indoors the majority of the time. That’s why having good indoor air quality is more important than ever. Our professionals at DeltaTemp want to be sure your Virginia home provides a healthy environment for you and your family. Our testing and remediation services can help you check your air quality and improve it.

Poor indoor air quality can result from a host of things including dust, pet dander, smoking, and viruses. In addition, cleaning products, paint, or carpet can release chemicals that can negatively affect indoor air quality.

Long-term exposure to poor air quality may mean increased health problems or daily discomfort. If you are struggling with fatigue, respiratory distress, or ongoing allergies, you may be subject to indoor air quality issues.

Our experienced professionals can test the quality of your Short Pump indoor air. If they discover potential issues, they may recommend things like cleaning your air ducts, changing your air filters, or installing an air purifier. They can also check for things like deadly carbon monoxide leaks.

Maintenance

If you have recently noticed your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system struggling to combat Mother Nature’s extreme temperatures in Virginia, you might want to consider calling for HVAC maintenance. A broken furnace or a damaged air conditioning unit can cause major discomfort and inconvenience in your Short Pump home, and our team at DeltaTemp would love to help you avoid a potentially disastrous situation.

When our professionals come in to check up on your system, your HVAC units will undergo a thorough analysis and tune-up. Our team will perform upkeep tasks such as changing your air filters, tightening electrical connections, and inspecting pressure where needed. By running an HVAC maintenance checkup, your system will be less likely to fail you when you need it most.

In addition to troubleshooting a problematic system, consider scheduling biannual HVAC maintenance sessions to be sure your home is prepared for both the summer heat and chilly winter temperatures. By taking good care of your system, you can save money by reducing high energy bills, keeping emergency repairs to a minimum, and extending the life span of your HVAC unit. Our trained experts would love to help you keep your home as comfortable and energy efficient as possible across all four seasons.

Radiant Floors

Conventional heating systems such as radiators, baseboard heating, and furnaces consume a great deal of energy in Virginia. One reason is because these units need to be heated to a high temperature in order for the surrounding air to be brought to a comfortable temperature. For example, a radiator often needs to reach 150 degrees to provide room temperature heat.

DeltaTemp now offers a more energy-efficient alternative: radiant floor heating. In this system, an electric-based or water-based network is installed under your Short Pump home’s flooring. This system only needs to be heated to about 84 degrees to provide average heat to your living space.

Radiant floor heating is easy to run, simple to maintain, and eliminates much of the traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment typically needed in your home. This frees up space and gives you flexibility for innovative interior design.

Ideally, radiant floor heating is installed when you build a new home. If you are retrofitting a current home, you may incur significant installation costs as well as inconvenience as your flooring will need to be lifted up and perhaps replaced in order for this heating system to be added. Radiant floor heating will also increase the level of your home’s flooring.

Contact DeltaTemp at 804-739-5854 for more details. Our trained professionals can provide all the information for you to make an informed decision. Request radiant floor heating service online today.

Water Heaters

You may have had to deal with the unfortunate cold shower or the inability to run your dishwasher or laundry at the time you wanted to do it. The hot water you wanted was simply not there. Today, your options range far and wide to be sure your hot water needs can be met. Two major types of residential HVAC water heater are on the market today: tank and tankless.

Tank water heaters are still the most common, particularly in older homes. These are the type that may have run out of hot water while in use in the past in your Virginia home. Generally, these are heated by electricity, oil, or gas.

On the other hand, tankless water heaters heat up water exactly when you want it, on demand, regardless of how much or how little you need. You are also freed from the necessity of continually heating a large tank of water in your Short Pump home. In addition to using traditional energy means to fuel these heaters, they can also utilize other alternative sources of energy such as geothermal, solar, and more.

When you are ready to update your home’s water heating solutions, whether it is a replacement, repair, or maintenance, our team at DeltaTemp is always here for you—give us a call at 804-739-5854. Request water heater service online today.

Zone Control Systems

Have you ever envisioned imaginary dollar bills just floating out of your home when you think about cooling or heating rooms not in use? This is actually what figuratively happens when there are specific parts of your Short Pump home you don not use much but still heat and cool. Ideally, the rooms you are currently using are comfortable while the rest of your home is conserving energy. Up until recently, that was a difficult goal to achieve.

However, zone control systems are available today that allow you to do a better job of customizing your temperatures. Part of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, a zone control system allows you to operate several thermostats, each controlling the temperature of a different zone of your home. A zone control system automatically opens and closes the appropriate dampers to direct heating or cooling just where you want it in your Virginia home.

Our team at DeltaTemp can provide more details and share the cost savings you can expect by installing a zone control system. Our trained professionals are well-versed in how to properly install, repair, and maintain a zone control system so it works effectively with your current HVAC system.

Call DeltaTemp at 804-739-5854 if you have additional questions about zone control systems. Our team is ready to provide answers. Request zone control system service online today.
