Workplace studies show that many factors contribute to the satisfaction and productivity of your employees. A climate-controlled work environment is certainly near the top of the list.

Boilers

If you are considering heating options in your Elmhurst home, residential boilers may be on your short list. Although not as common as furnaces, boilers can be an excellent, energy-efficient way to provide even, comfortable heat for your family. Boilers typically use natural gas or heating oil to provide the energy to heat water, and the warm vapor provides residential heat.

Our professional team at Royal American Heating & Cooling can help you choose a residential boiler system that is designed for your Illinois home’s size and climate. Selecting the correct boiler for your home, budget, and lifestyle is not something you should leave to chance. You need the help of a highly trained and experienced expert.

Boiler technology has improved tremendously in recent years. In fact, boilers installed decades ago may be wasting nearly half their energy while operating. Today, the highest efficiency residential boilers can operate at up to 98 percent efficiency.

To learn more about residential boilers, call Royal American Heating & Cooling at 708-928-8372 . Our trained team can provide you with details about the residential boilers we offer and answer your questions. Request boiler service online today.

Ductless Systems

If you are considering adding on a room to your Illinois home, you may be wondering about heating and cooling options. Expanding your home’s ductwork can be costly and may overburden your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. You should consider installing an efficient ductless system available today.

Ductless systems can be an excellent solution for extra rooms in your Elmhurst home. Since they are not connected to your HVAC system, you can provide customized climate control in selected areas. For instance, you may want to heat or cool a home office only during work hours or an elderly family member may want a bedroom warmer than others residing in the home.

A home’s duct work is often responsible for up to a 30 percent loss of energy, which means a ductless system can reduce your energy bills regularly. Since ductless units require only a small hole in the wall to install, your energy loss is minimized.

Our trained experts at Royal American Heating & Cooling can help you size a ductless unit for your room or home as well as advise if one makes sense for your particular heating or cooling needs. Call Royal American Heating & Cooling at 708-928-8372 to learn more about ductless units. Request ductless system service online today.

Furnaces

Coming into a toasty, warm home from the blistering winter wind is such a pleasant feeling. Be sure your furnace is ready for the cold temperatures by checking in with our professionals at Royal American Heating & Cooling. Our trained professionals can help you select and install a new furnace, repair or inspect an existing furnace, or simply tune up your entire heating system to be sure it’s prepared.

If you are in the market for a new furnace for your Elmhurst home, you will have plenty of options. Today’s furnaces are designed to operate in a wide variety of climates as well as different sized homes.

The layout of your rooms and the building materials used in your Illinois home should also play a role in helping you select the right furnace for your needs. It’s important to match the size of your furnace to all these factors so you get the right amount of heat in cold weather while not wasting energy unnecessarily.

Furnaces run on a variety of different fuels so another consideration when choosing a furnace is the long-run cost of operating your furnace. Most new furnaces are designed with optimal efficiency in mind. It’s important to balance the initial cost of your furnace with ongoing energy costs.

In addition, many furnaces have special features that can help improve indoor air quality or ventilation, offer variable speeds for more consistent heat, or provide zone heating.

Heat Pumps

Finding a sustainable, efficient, and effective way to heat and cool your Elmhurst home can be a challenge. Fortunately, technology and developments in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry are making strides in this area. One solution is to invest in a heat pump for all your climate control needs.

Our Royal American Heating & Cooling team can provide a wealth of information about current heat pumps available today. Just like its name implies, a heat pump simply pumps warmer air between your home and the outdoors, depending on the season.

When you want additional heat during the colder months, the pump moves heat from outside to inside. When you want heat to be removed during the warmer seasons, the heat pump pushes the heat from inside to outside.

The majority of heat pumps available on the market today are air-source heat pumps. They consume less electricity than baseboard heaters and traditional furnaces, saving you money and reducing your home’s carbon footprint. Heat pumps do not create heat by burning a fuel such as wood or natural gas, which contributes to their energy efficiency and affordability.

High-efficiency heat pumps provide better dehumidification during the warmer months, giving them a leg up over conventional air conditioners.

If you want to get more information about heat pump models for your Illinois home, call Royal American Heating & Cooling at 708-928-8372 . Our team is ready and prepared to answer your questions. Request heat pump service online today.

Indoor Air Quality

Do you find yourself feeling tired all the time? Are you suffering from allergies, asthma, or constant respiratory distress? Although these things can originate from many different sources, poor indoor air quality is a possibility.

Our team at Royal American Heating & Cooling here in Elmhurst wants to help you ensure a healthy home. We will come out and test the air quality in your Illinois home. If they find any issues, they can provide remediation services to help you improve it.

Everyone has dust and dust mites in their home as well as some level of chemicals released from carpeting, cleaning supplies, and other household substances. In addition, if you have pets, you will generate more hair and dander. Smoking also adds particulates to the air. All of these things can contribute to an indoor air quality problem.

Testing of indoor air quality is something we do every day. If we find issues, our experienced professionals might recommend remediation such as air duct cleaning or replacing your air filters in your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. A wide variety of air filtration and air purification systems are available on the market today as well, which can help improve your indoor air quality.

Maintenance

Everything has its season, and your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is no different. Your furnace puts in overtime during the chilly winters while taking a rest in the summer, and your air conditioning unit works on the opposite schedule in Illinois. Our team at Royal American Heating & Cooling recommends that right before your furnace or air conditioner goes into high gear you schedule an HVAC maintenance service call.

Our trained professionals will conduct a complete inspection and cleaning of your HVAC system. Talk with us about our multipoint inspection. It includes a filter change, lubrication, pressure and safety check, and much more. You will also have a trained eye on your system so any potential problems can be caught quickly and repaired before your HVAC system stops working.

In the long run, investing in HVAC maintenance can save you a great deal of stress and money in your Elmhurst home. A well-maintained system will not only function better, but it will consume less energy every day. In addition, it can help increase the working life of your whole system, making it less likely you will have to invest in a new furnace or air conditioning unit prematurely.

Water Heaters

No one likes dealing with a lack of hot water in your Illinois home. In general, barring some major catastrophe, the fault lies in the type of water heater you use. Regardless of where you are in your water heater’s life cycle, it’s worth looking into the new alternatives on the market and the benefits they may bring to your home.

The first option many Elmhurst homes come with is a tank water heater. These are generally heated by gas, electricity, or oil, then heat and store your hot water. However, they can run out at inconvenient times and can cause large amounts of water damage should the tank ever leak.

The second option is a tankless water heater. These systems heat water only upon demand, regardless of how much you may want at the time. They also are highly energy efficient since you are only using the water you need at the time—you are not spending money to keep a tank of water hot waiting to be used. Since these heaters do not have storage tanks, they have a smaller footprint in your home, making for versatility in installation locations.

When you are ready to learn more or to make needed improvements in your water heater, whether it is a replacement, new installation, repair, or maintenance, our Royal American Heating & Cooling professionals at are ready and waiting for you—give us a call at 708-928-8372.

Zone Control Systems

As an energy-conscious Illinois homeowner, you may have relied on diligence and basic technology to try to reduce your energy consumption at home. You may have responsibly programmed your thermostat to reduce consumption while you are at work or asleep. You may even police your Elmhurst home regularly, closing and opening room vents as needed. And you may take on extra inconveniences to reduce your overall carbon footprint each day.

Our team at Royal American Heating & Cooling can now provide you with an easier way: zone control systems. These systems are designed to connect to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Each zone has its own thermostat, and the system can be programmed to automatically open and shut zone dampers as the system receives temperature adjustments.

Zone control systems allow you to boost or lower the temperature of your bedrooms, for example, to achieve comfortable sleeping conditions. If you are entertaining in your main living areas, you can adjust that particular zone to manage the temperature for a greater number of people. Or, you can keep your home office zone comfortable while the rest of your home stays in energy-conservation mode during business hours.

Zone control systems, when installed properly and professionally, can help you reduce your energy consumption throughout the year while increasing your family’s comfort levels.
