Heating
Report
With seasonal differences and ever-changing weather, it is rare when we can avoid using our heating systems. Because we usually need to keep these systems running, they make up the largest part of the typical home's energy expenses- almost half the bill! Heating components are all characterized similarly: by heatingcapacity, energy efficiency, fuel, and function. If you're interested in more detailed technical information about the various types of Heating elements, check out our pages on specific heating system types.

The Difference Between Low and High Efficiency Air Conditioners
If your air conditioning system is 10 years old or more, you can bet it is wasting a lot of energy and costing you a lot of money. Ten or fifteen years ago, the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rate (SEER) of the best available air conditioner was around 6 to 8, which is less than half of today's high efficiency models with a SEER of 19 to 20. SEER is the measurement of how much energy and money spent to run the air conditioner is actually being converted into cold air.
Oil Furnace Replaced With High Efficiency Heat Pump, Gas Furnace and Air Conditioning System
A 70-year-old house with an old inefficient oil furnace, receives a full heating and cooling system upgrade. Dr. Energy Saver replaced the old furnace and High Efficiency Heat Pump with a backup High Efficiency Propane Gas Furnace and High Efficiency Air Conditioning System. High efficiency HVAC systems, by definition, are systems that give you the best results in terms of heating and cooling, per each dollar spent to run the unit. A heat pump works by bringing heat from the outside to the inside. It will produce $3 worth of heat per each dollar spent in electricity. When the temperature outside is below 35 degrees, the backup propane gas furnace kicks in, operating at 96% efficiency. High efficiency air conditioning/heat pump systems have a much bigger condenser and a higher SEER - Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating- which is an efficiency measure for HVAC units.

I can not recommend Bolster-DeHart enough. From the original sales visit by Shawn, to the installation manager walking me step by step through how the job would be done, to the highly professional work done by the two installers today. Every person we came in contact with was knowledgeable and willing to take the time to explain things to us. I am NOT impressed easily, but I was very impressed with this company. We will recommend them to friends and family.

My wife and I are long-standing customers of Bolster-DeHart. They have been our go-to HVAC contractor since we moved to McCandless in the early eighties. We just had our annual air conditioning check up. The work was performed by Service Technician, Bracy Scott. He was exemplary in his efficiency, effectiveness, courtesy, and general professionalism. Bracy continued the tradition we have come to expect from this splendid HVAC company. The sound choice we made all those years ago was once again confirmed through the good efforts of Bracy Scott. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

We are totally satisfied with the service from Ed Brennan and his crew. Our attic was damaged by squirrels so we decided to have the old insulation removed and the whole attic sealed and reinsulated. The guys were prompt, efficient and very knowledgeable. The work performed matched the estimate without question. It was a big project that went quite smoothly! And they cleaned up after it was done! I would most definitely recommend Bolster-DeHart!! Thank you Ed and crew!!

Sincere appreciation for the care taken to ensure a job well done by the Dr. Energy Saver Home Services Team at Bolster-DeHart. Our goal was a comfortable, energy efficient home, and we saw immediate results! Their work really made a difference. Our temperature equalized throughout the house, the a/c is running less, and next we expect to see our savings apparent even in our utility bills. We are very satisfied customers and plan to refer others every chance we get!!

Ed was very attentive to the problem that I was experiencing in my home. He did an energy audit and found a need for more insulation. The crew that installed the new insulation was very professional. I am confindent that this detail and quality work will continue during the installation of the new furnace and air conditioning units.

A very professional job by Chris, Ed, & the entire B-D team. We have been long term customers and everyone I have dealt with has been professional, customer-oriented, knowledgeable & obviously well trained. On this rather large project, everyone worked very well together, had a positive-can do attitude, which showed in the results. Great teamwork.
In addition to the base project to vastly improve the energy integrity of our home, we really appreciated the clean up after each day's work was done. Also, we now have a lot more functional storage area in the attic. At completion, the guys helped me move all the boxes, etc. back up into the attic which was a big help. Thanks again for a job well done.
