AIR CONDITIONING
Why is an efficient air-conditioned system important to your family?
An efficient air-conditioning system controls the temperature of your home so that it is cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
An efficient system controls the ventilation, which is made up of the air handler, ducts, return vents, and blower assembly.
These components work to reduce humidity levels and ensure a comfortable temperature in the home. High humidity creates dust mites, mold, heatstroke, and dehydration.
Whitmore Air specializes in custom planning an air-conditioning system specifically for your individual needs. Our dedicated specialists meet with your family to discuss your lifestyle patterns to recommend a comfort plan to give each member of your family thermal comfort and acceptable indoor quality.
HEATING
Brrrr…I’m freezing. The furnace is blowing cold air!
Six Reasons Why Your Furnace May Not Work
1. The Thermostat
- May be set incorrectly or malfunctioning
- Be sure it is set to "heat" mode
- Check batteries if needed
4. Faulty Blower Motor
- If it's not running or making strange sounds, call us to check.
2. Dirty Air Filter
- A clogged filter can restrict air flow
5. Tripped Circuit Breaker or Blown Fuse
- Reset the breaker or replace the fuse.
- If it continues to trip or blow fuses, let us know to diagnose for electrical issue.
3. Clogged Flue or Vent Pipe
- Can prevent proper ventilation and will shut down for safety reasons.
6. Pilot Light or Ignition Issues
- Older furnaces have pilot lights; newer furnaces have electronic ignitions. We recommend you let us check this problem.
There are other components, such as fuel supply problems, flame sensor issues, or control board malfunctions.
Our technicians are trained and knowledgeable about the risks and hazards involved in the repair and maintenance of your furnace.
To assure your safety, let us help you diagnose your heating problem.

UPGRADES
Which HVAC system is right for your family?
We will customize an air-conditioning system for each member of the family’s lifestyle
For a multi-generational family living in a large house, a zoned HVAC system could be an ideal solution.
This system allows different areas of the house to have individual temperature controls, catering to the preferences of each generation.
- For example, the grandparents may prefer warmer temperatures, so they could set their living area and bedrooms in a zone with higher heating settings during the winter.
- The parents may prefer cooler temperatures, especially in their bedroom and home office areas, so they could set those zones to have lower cooling settings during the summer.
- The younger generation, such as children or grandchildren, may have different temperature preferences in their bedrooms or play areas, so they could set those zones accordingly.
Additionally, a zoning system allows for energy savings by only heating or cooling occupied areas of the house, reducing energy consumption and utility costs.
Ductless Mini-Split System with Multiple Indoor Units
For a multi-generational family living in a smaller or medium-sized house where adding ductwork is impractical, a ductless mini-split system with multiple indoor units could be a suitable choice.
Each generation could have individual indoor units installed in their living spaces, providing personalized comfort control.
- For example, the grandparents could have a ductless unit installed in their bedroom and living room area, allowing them to adjust the temperature according to their comfort needs without affecting other family members.
- The parents could have their own ductless unit in their bedroom and home office, ensuring they have control over their comfort settings.
- The younger generation, such as children or grandchildren, could have ductless units installed in their bedrooms or play areas, allowing them to set temperatures to their liking.
Ductless mini-split systems offer flexibility in zoning and energy efficiency, as each indoor unit operates independently, reducing energy waste by only heating or cooling occupied areas.
In both examples, the HVAC system designers accommodate the diverse needs and preferences of a multi-generational family, ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the home.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY
What are symptoms of bad indoor air quality?
Respiratory Problems - such as coughing, sneezing, wheezing, dyspnea, and worsening of allergies or asthma.
Nose and Throat Issues – Irritation of the nose, throat, and eyes, characterized by dryness, discomfort, or itching.
Fatigue and Dizziness – Feelings of exhaustion, sluggishness, or vertigo can be brought on by low indoor air quality after spending time indoors.
Skin Irritation – such as eczema or rashes, may worsen if your home has poor air quality.
Allergic Reactions – Dust mites, pollen, or pet dander are allergens that affect family members with symptoms of congestion, a runny nose, or itchy skin.
Headaches – People who are sensitive to certain chemicals or allergens may be more susceptible to headaches or migraines as a result of indoor air pollution.
How does an efficient heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system improve indoor air quality in a home?
Filtration: High-efficiency air filters used in HVAC systems have the ability to collect a variety of airborne particles, such as mold spores, dust, pollen, and pet dander.
Ventilation: Proper ventilation ensures the exchange of indoor and outdoor air, reduces the buildup of indoor pollutants, and replenishes indoor air with fresh, clean air from outside.
Humidity Control: HVAC systems with integrated humidity controls can maintain the best indoor humidity levels. This prevents excessive moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and mildew growth.
Air Purification: Some HVAC systems incorporate air purification technologies such as UV germicidal lamps, ionizers, or electronic air cleaners to enhance indoor air quality by neutralizing or removing airborne pathogens and contaminants.
Regular Maintenance: Routine HVAC maintenance, including cleaning or replacing air filters, inspecting ductwork for leaks or contamination, and servicing components like coils and fans, ensures that the system operates efficiently.
By addressing these factors, HVAC systems can significantly contribute to creating a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment for your family.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Checklist
The following is a list of components we check to ensure your HVAC system runs smoothly
- Check thermostat settings
Stay comfortable at home and save energy when away from home
- Tighten all electrical connections
Measure voltage and current on motors
- Lubricate all moving parts
To avoid friction in motors that increases electrical use
- Inspect the condensate drain
A clogged drain can cause water damage that affects indoor humidity
- Check the system controls
Does it start, operate, and shut off correctly
- Clean the air conditioning evaporator and condenser coils
Dirty coils cause your system to run longer which increases power bill costs
- Inspect the air conditioner's refrigerant level
To keep the home cool and efficient
- Clean and adjust blower components
For accurate airflow and comfort
- For heating, check all gas or oil connections, gas pressure, burner combustion, and heat exchanger
Faulty equipment can be a fire hazard
- Inspect, clean, or change air filters once a month in the air conditioner, furnace, and/or heat pump
Dirty filters can cause your system to run poorly and increase energy costs.
