  • What Are the Differences Between a Heat Pump, an Air Conditioner and a Furnace?

    Maintaining a safe and comfortable indoor space for your home, especially in extreme temperatures or climatic conditions, requires having the right HVAC system in place. There are basically three commonly used systems that can provide heating, cooling, and ventilation to your space: heat pumps, air conditioners, and furnaces. But they work differently.


    A heat pump is a versatile system that can both cool and heat depending on the season. It works by transferring heat energy from one place to another instead of generating it like an air conditioner or furnace does. This makes them 300-400% efficient. However, since they don't create their own heat, they tend to be less efficient in extremely cold conditions. Note that this is not to say they will not be able to keep your home warm enough.


    A furnace is a heating system that uses natural gas, propane, oil, or electricity to generate heat that warms a house. They are ideal for extremely cold conditions. However, furnaces have an efficiency rating of 98%, meaning it loses 2% of the energy it uses to generate heat.


    An air conditioner is a cooling system that works by removing hot air from inside space and transferring it outside with the help of refrigerant gas. Air conditioners typically also use electricity to power fans that circulate the cooled air throughout a room or building. Because they only cool and not heat, they are usually paired with furnaces or heat pumps during winter months.

Why Purchase a Heat Pump in the First Place?
By Jose Raven 02 May, 2023
The first step to finding the right system for your home or business is learning the basics of HVAC systems. HVAC uses a lot of specific acronyms, vocabulary, and abbreviations that might be confusing, much like anything technical. By understanding the basics in this blog post, you'll be able to talk comfortably with a contractor. Knowing more about the HVAC industry will help you communicate your wants and difficulties to a tech specialist and give you a better idea of the investment you're making. Before you speak to any HVAC contractor in Gainesville, FL, we have put together the main definitions you need in order to make your ideal decision. HVAC HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. It is a broad phrase that refers to your full heating and cooling system. It is a technology that aims to offer ideal indoor air quality and thermal comfort. AC (Air Conditioner) An air conditioner is an appliance or system that regulates the temperature, humidity, and air quality of your space by removing heat and humidity from the inside of your home and transferring them to the outside. Air Filter An air filter is the device that keeps your indoor air and your HVAC system clean. Air filters are made of plastic resin or polyester fiber that has been thermally-bonded. Air filters catch dust and other airborne impurities in your home or business. Evaporator Coil The evaporator coil is the part of your heat pump or air conditioner that captures the heat from the inside air of your home, enabling the blower fan to circulate the cold and refreshing air back inside. Condenser Coil Condenser coils are an essential component of your air conditioning system that transfer the heat and moisture collected by the evaporator coil from within your home to expel it to the outside of your home. The evaporator and condenser coils are essential to the heat exchange cycle. Heat Pump A heat pump is a refrigeration system that provides warm or cool air for your home or business. Heat pumps absorb or expel heat from the outside of your home to distribute air with your desired temperature within your home or business through your ductwork. Ductwork The ductwork is a network of specialized pipes and channels that move and distribute the air coming from your unit around the inside of your home or business. Your ductwork connects to your HVAC system, whether it’s a furnace, an air conditioner, or a heat pump. Thermostat A thermostat is a temperature-control device that monitors and manages your home's heating or cooling system. It’s used to specify the temperature at which parts of your home need to be heated or cooled by your system. Furnace A furnace, also referred to as a heater or boiler, is an appliance that you can use to generate heat by burning a fuel source like natural gas or propane. The heat that these systems create is then distributed throughout all or part of your house to increase the indoor temperature. Dehumidifier A dehumidifier is a piece of equipment that lowers your home’s humidity level in the air. It works by cooling air until evaporated water converts from vapor to liquid and it removes the water to give you a less humid environment. Refrigerant The refrigerant is the substance that your HVAC system uses to cool your air. Diffuser A diffuser is a device installed to your ductwork to separate the air circulation within your home or business and properly distribute the airflow in your desired rooms and directions. Inverter Technology An inverter is an energy-saving technology that adjusts the motor speed and temperature of your system to prevent wasteful operation, resulting in continuous comfort and cost savings. Split System A split system is one of the most common types of residential air conditioning system in Gainesville due to its quiet and energy-efficient features. It splits into two units, one inside and one outside. Multi-split System A multi-split system uses multiple interior units connected to a single outdoor unit to heat and cool different portions of the house or to maintain a consistent temperature in one large space. These systems may heat or cool at the same time. SEER SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio in the heating and cooling industry. It measures the energy efficiency of your air conditioning system by dividing the cooling output of your system by the total energy utilized. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy efficient it is, resulting in lower energy costs to run it. ENERGY STAR® The Energy Star label is designed to help you identify energy-efficient systems or parts. While the world of HVAC might seem complicated, don't let it scare or confuse you. We hope you find this information helpful and we would love to help you with any questions or concerns. Are you in search of someone who can help you choose your ideal new system or maintain your current HVAC unit? Look no further, we got you at Dayton Heating and Air. Call (352) 317-2132 or fill out our contact form today to get help and to experience the honest and easy-going service we promise.
an HVAC unit in Gainesville with one of its manufacturer sticker of features and metrics
By Jose Raven 29 Apr, 2023
In the drenching heat of summer or the freezing cold of winter, HVAC systems do an excellent job of providing us a comfortable and safe environment in both our residential and commercial spaces. Proper AC service to our Gainesville homes, is essential to ensure that our units are running efficiently, saving energy and money in the process. However, when the time comes to install or replace your HVAC system and you find yourself deciding on the best HVAC brand to purchase, there are some basic things to consider. They include cost, customer service, type, noise levels, and technology. Cost The cost of installing an HVAC is subjective. Regardless of the brand you choose, the size of the house, efficiency ratings, system features, and where you live all play a role in determining the cost you’ll pay. For example, individuals that live in hot climate regions will need to spend more money on AC systems since they’ll have them running longer than those from colder regions. Customer Service In terms of customer service, some brands are better at addressing and resolving issues quickly than others. Reading internet reviews left by current or former customers is one of the best approaches to figuring out which brand provides the best customer service. Features Features such as noise level, energy-saving additions, and the type of system are important factors to consider. For instance, there are systems that contain ultra-quiet fans, have better energy savings, and can even be controlled remotely via smart devices. Warranties Air conditioning repair is part and parcel of owning an HVAC system in Gainesville. They are machines that run almost all the time, so they are subject to wear and tear. Moreover, depending on our circumstances as homeowners such as having a pet, living in a humid environment, or having an old system, our units may require more frequent repairs. This is where warranties come to the rescue. Most brands offer a ten-year warranty, which covers repairs and sometimes even replacements for specific parts. Still, you must understand the conditions of the warranty and take into account how much you would have to pay in labor fees for repairs. Any reputable Gainesville HVAC company must be able to explain the specifics of a warranty and recommend repair services or replacement options based on your situation and needs. Always Get a Professional Recommendation Last but not least, it's important to consider your HVAC professional’s recommendation. Before any contractor installs a system in your home, they should assess the size of your house, analyze its layout, and determine what type of system will be best for what you want for your home. You can always ask about the brands that have been in the market for the most time and their experience working with them. With these factors in mind, the best brands include: 1. American Standard 2. Amana 3. Rheem 4. Trane 5. Carrier 6. York 7. Daikin 8. Goodman 9. Honeywell 10. Tempstar What to Consider After Your New Unit Is Installed Like cars, HVAC systems need regular servicing to check for errors and then taking measures to prevent them from getting worse. For instance, signing up for a preventative maintenance plan such as our Comfort Plan is a smart move for any home or business owner to keep their new unit functional for the longest time possible. These plans allow you to have a professional set of eyes on your unit throughout the years. Scheduling a duct cleaning for your system once every 2 to 3 years can help with airflow and efficiency. Air duct cleaning simply involves the use of a vacuum cleaner or blower to remove debris and dirt from the ducts. When to Consider Repair and Replacement Preventive measures can only do so much, and even with regular maintenance, at some point in time you will need to repair or replace your system. For example, a HVAC repair may be prompted by signs such as: • Loud noises emanating from the unit • Unpleasant odors coming from the system • High energy bills • Uneven temperatures throughout the house On the other hand, a replacement may be necessary when your unit has reached its lifespan or when the repair costs seem higher than what it would take to get a new one. Such problems often arise when the installation was done without taking into account the system's size or specific needs. While every unit is different, HVAC systems typically last for 15 to 20 years. Most experts recommend to start thinking about a replacement after ten years of service for maximum efficiency. Conclusion There are many good HVAC brands in 2023, each offering various features and benefits. Depending on your specific needs and budget, one option will be better suited for you than another. Proper professional guidance, a proper consultation and installation process with regular maintenance is the way to go.

  • How Often Should I Service My System?

    No matter what kind of system you have, it should be inspected, cleaned, and serviced at least once a year to keep it well-working and energy-efficient. It’s always a good idea to do some regular check-ins and cleaning throughout the year to make sure your system lasts longer and runs smoothly.


    Therefore, if you have a standard central AC or a furnace, you should have them serviced every year. If you have a heat pump system that you use year-round, then you’ll want to schedule service at least once every 6 months. By having your AC system serviced often, you’ll address any issue before it affects the rest of your system and results in an expensive repair or replacement.


    Now that you have an answer to how often you should service your air conditioner, you might think that you currently need maintenance services. If you’re looking for an air conditioner company in Gainesville, Florida, and the surrounding areas, our family-owned company, Dayton Heating & Air LLC, has you covered. We’re well-versed in the maintenance and repair of all types of HVAC systems, and residential and commercial services and will ensure that yours is operating optimally. We look forward to helping you.

  • How Often Should I Replace My Air Filters?

    The straightforward answer is: It depends on your situation. Changing the air filters in your system is crucial to ensuring clean air circulates throughout your home or business. Most air filter manufacturers and HVAC companies recommend changing your air filter every 90 days.


    How often to change the air filters may depend on:

    • Air filter design
    • Household/Commercial space size
    • Air pollution levels
    • Overall indoor air quality
    • Quantity of pets
    • The MERV Rating

    If you need help choosing the right filter for your system and a professional that can help you change it, call us to have an inspection from our technicians.

  • How Important Is My Indoor Air Quality?

    The air you inhale at home or at work is filtered through your heating or cooling system, which brings in air from the outside. So, your system is bringing outdoor pollutants inside, and those unwanted contaminants can stay inside if your system isn’t functioning properly or being serviced regularly. Cleaner indoor air improves cognition and productivity, reduces the spread of airborne diseases, protects against outdoor air pollutants, and decreases the number of environmental triggers for conditions like asthma and allergies. 


    Our professionals can help you address indoor air quality problems in your home. We have many options for the latest technology to improve indoor air quality. Our team can help you keep your unit running at its best and provide suggestions about air filters. 

  • What is a Ductless Mini-Split System, and How Exactly Do They Work?

    Like central systems, mini-splits have two major components: an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units. The indoor unit is often wall-mounted and delivers heated or cooled air directly into the living space, eliminating the need for ducting. 


    Because there are several styles of indoor units available and because installation only requires a hole in the wall for the wiring and refrigerant line, ductless systems are among the easiest and most versatile systems to install.


    A ductless mini-split system requires the same care and maintenance as a traditional split system.

  • How Can I Lower My Electric Bill This Summer?

    Firstly, homeowners should make an effort to set their thermostats to at least 78 degrees F during the summertime in order to lessen the disparity between interior and exterior temperatures, thereby minimizing stress on their HVAC system. Maintaining a constant temperature also helps to keep your AC running more reliably and efficiently without any unwelcome surprises.


    Secondly, maintaining a comfortable indoor climate can be really helpful in reducing energy costs. This can be accomplished by properly insulating your home, closing window coverings during hot times of the day, and using ceiling fans to circulate cooler air throughout your living space. Wind drafts from outdoors and sunlight often interfere with conditioned air, making the AC work harder than it was designed to.


    Lastly, scheduling regular AC service in Gainesville, FL, can improve efficiency by up to 20%. This can translate into significant cost savings for the homeowner. When having their HVAC system serviced, homeowners should ask about the availability of preventive maintenance programs like our Comfort Club that can reduce up-front costs and ensure optimal performance from the unit year after year.

  • How Do I Choose a Good HVAC Service Company?

    Experience is often the key indicator of a quality HVAC service provider. Homeowners should seek out a Gainesville, FL AC company that has been in business for some time and who can provide references from previous customers. For instance, Dayton Heating & Air, LLC has been officially in business for six years now, but before that, the owner worked for his family company for ten years. That means he has probably worked with all types and models of AC systems over the years.


    Additionally, the service provider should be certified by the EPA and demonstrate that they are knowledgeable about energy efficiency standards and practices. Ideally, they would also hold a universal HVAC technician license from either Florida or Georgia and offer around-the-clock emergency services for unexpected issues.

  • How Can I Determine if the HVAC System Cleaning Was Effective?

    The best way to determine if the AC contractor did a good job is to inspect the system before and after the cleaning. If any dust or debris can be seen on the vent covers and access doors after the cleaning, it means that not all of the particles have been removed. Homeowners can simply use a flashlight or a mirror to confirm this; however, some professionals allow their clients to use their specialized inspection tools for a more accurate assessment.


    One should also be able to notice an increase in air flow after the service has been completed. The system should run quieter and more efficiently, and the conditioned air should be distributed more evenly throughout the living space. Furthermore, occupants of the house should no longer experience any allergic reactions, and a fresher smell should be present in the air.

  • Will HVAC System Cleaning Reduce Our Home Energy Bills?

    As a homeowner continues to use their HVAC system, it wears down and becomes less efficient. This means the system is forced to work harder to reach ideal temperatures, consuming more energy and forcing your bills higher than you'd like them to be. However, by cleaning the ducts, filters, coils, and other components of the system, it can work more efficiently, which in turn helps reduce energy bills. It might even help avoid the need for AC or furnace repair in your Gainesville, FL home in the long run.


    In addition to having a cleaner system overall, duct cleaning also helps combat clogs and blockages that restrict airflow. This allows for heated or cooled air to move through the home quickly without any hindrances. As a result, your HVAC unit won't need to run as often or as hard to reach desired temperatures — leading to lower energy costs at the end of the month.


    Moreover, a well-functioning AC eliminates the need for other energy-consuming appliances like fans and space heaters.
