Choosing the Right HVAC System for Your Home

Selecting the ideal HVAC system depends on your home’s size, layout, insulation, and your family's specific comfort preferences. Our experienced technicians guide you through the options, ensuring you make an informed decision that aligns with your needs and budget. We specialize in installing a range of high-performance systems, including premier options from Lennox, a brand we have proudly represented since 1966.

Central Air Conditioning & Heating Systems: The most common solution for homes in Melissa, central HVAC systems use a network of ducts to distribute conditioned air. Modern central units are remarkably efficient, offering consistent temperature control throughout your entire home. They are an excellent choice for replacing older, less efficient systems in existing properties.

Heat Pumps: An all-in-one solution for both heating and cooling, heat pumps are incredibly energy-efficient. During the hot Texas summers, they function like a traditional air conditioner by moving heat out of your home. In the cooler months, they reverse the process, drawing heat from the outside air to warm your home. This dual functionality can lead to significant reductions in your annual energy consumption.

Ductless Mini-Split Systems: If your home lacks existing ductwork, has a new addition, or you simply want to create independent temperature zones, a ductless mini-split system is an ideal choice. These systems consist of an outdoor compressor connected to one or more indoor air-handling units, allowing for customized comfort in specific rooms without the need for extensive duct installation.

Our Meticulous HVAC Installation Process

A flawless installation is just as important as the quality of the unit itself. An improperly installed system can suffer from poor performance, reduced efficiency, and a shortened lifespan. Our process is designed to prevent these issues and guarantee optimal results.

1. Comprehensive Home Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation of your home. This includes assessing your existing system, examining your ductwork, and understanding your insulation levels. We listen to your concerns about hot or cold spots and your goals for energy efficiency.

2. Precise System Sizing: We perform a professional load calculation, often referred to as a Manual J calculation. This critical step determines the exact heating and cooling capacity your home requires. Unlike competitors who might use guesswork, we use this scientific approach to ensure your system isn't too large or too small. An oversized unit will short-cycle, failing to dehumidify your home properly, while an undersized unit will struggle to keep up on the hottest Melissa days, driving up energy bills.

3. System Selection and Transparent Proposal: Based on our assessment, we present you with tailored system options that fit your home and budget. We explain the benefits of each choice, including efficiency ratings like SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor), so you can understand the long-term value of your investment.

4. Expert Installation Day: Our licensed and certified technicians arrive on time, ready to perform the installation with precision and care. We protect your home by using drop cloths and take meticulous steps to ensure every component is installed according to manufacturer specifications and local codes.

5. System Commissioning and Quality Check: Once the installation is complete, we don’t just turn it on and leave. We conduct a series of rigorous tests to verify proper refrigerant levels, check airflow, and ensure all electrical connections are secure. We calibrate the thermostat and walk you through the operation of your new system, answering any questions you may have.

When Is It Time for a New HVAC Installation?

It can be difficult to know whether to repair your old unit or invest in a new one. Here are several key indicators that it’s time to consider a full system replacement:

  • Age: If your air conditioner is over 10-12 years old or your furnace is over 15, it is likely operating far less efficiently than modern systems and may be nearing the end of its reliable service life.
  • Frequent and Costly Repairs: Are you constantly calling for service? If a single repair costs nearly half the price of a new unit, replacement is often the more financially sound decision in the long run.
  • Rising Energy Bills: An unexplained spike in your utility costs is a classic sign that your HVAC system is losing efficiency and working harder than it should to maintain comfort.
  • Inconsistent Comfort: If some rooms are too hot while others are too cold, your system may be improperly sized or failing to distribute air effectively.
  • Excessive Noise or Dust: Loud operation or an increase in dust and humidity can signal that your system is deteriorating and struggling to perform its basic functions.

Upgrading to a new, high-efficiency system can reduce your cooling and heating costs by 20% or more, providing a return on your investment through month-after-month savings.

"I am so impressed with Burnside!!! I will never even consider using anyone else. I was u def a lot of pressure and the heating system was not working correctly and they found a minor inexpensive solution. Another local vendor charged way more for a similar situation. I immediately sighed up for their annual program. God bless them."
