Energy Efficiency and Modern Comfort Controls

Today’s HVAC systems do far more than heat and cool, they adapt to your lifestyle. We specialize in installing systems that include HVAC automation and smart technology, giving you precision control over temperature, humidity, and airflow.

HVAC Automation

HVAC automation uses smart sensors and programmable controls to monitor and adjust your system in real time. This technology helps minimize energy waste while maintaining consistent comfort across your entire home. With automation, your system can even learn your preferences and optimize performance for efficiency and comfort.

Building Automation

For commercial and multi-unit properties, building automation systems allow you to integrate HVAC, lighting, and ventilation controls into one central management system. You can monitor energy consumption, adjust settings remotely, and receive performance reports to improve long-term efficiency.

FAQs About HVAC Replacement

Can I replace just my air conditioner or furnace instead of the whole HVAC system?

Yes, but it’s best to have both components evaluated together. In many Gaithersburg homes, replacing only one part can cause efficiency mismatches. Our technicians will help you decide whether a full or partial replacement is most cost-effective.

How long does an HVAC replacement take?

Most HVAC replacements can be completed in one day, though complex installations or duct modifications may take longer. We’ll provide an accurate timeline before work begins.

What size HVAC system do I need?

The correct size depends on your property’s square footage, insulation, and design. Our team conducts a detailed load calculation to determine the ideal system for optimal performance.

Can I finance my new HVAC system?

Yes. James A. Wheat & Sons, Inc offers flexible financing options to make your replacement project affordable and stress-free.

To further improve your energy efficiency, you can actually set your tankless water heater’s thermostat a few degrees lower and still get the same temperatures! Since storage tank water heaters have a lot of water to keep hot, you need to set the thermostat higher to keep temperatures consistent. Tankless water heaters heat water on demand so you don’t need to worry about wasted heat!

How can I maintain my new HVAC system?

Routine maintenance, such as changing filters and scheduling seasonal tune-ups, ensures your system operates efficiently and lasts for years.
