Wine Cellar Cooling and Humidification Systems – The Essentials for your Wine Cellar

Love your wine collection, but that portable wine cooling unit not getting the job done anymore? If you are up to your ears in wine bottles (not the empty kind), it’s time to step things up a notch with wine cellar refrigeration systems.

What Does a Cellar Do that Your Home Cooling System and Countertop Unit Can’t?
Noisy, and notoriously unreliable countertop refrigerators are extremely sensitive to the temperature of the surrounding environment, and simply cannot cool properly in an overly warm room. Their small size oftentimes both limits suitable storage, and provides only serving-temperature function – not long-term storage. This single-zone style cooling typically leaves either your reds or your whites in the wrong temperature zone. Adding insult to injury, in the effort to look pretty, glass doors on some units may result in the unwanted exposure of your wine collection to UV light, which can prematurely age light sensitive wine. Old systems with excessive vibration, as well as poor location of countertop coolers, can also lead to wines being repeatedly jostled, shaking up sediment and leading to wine that is unpleasantly gritty.

Cut the Clutter – and Keep Wine Tastier
Wine cellar refrigeration systems help keep your precious collection at the perfect temperature, no matter the weather or conditions in your home, providing the right atmosphere to ensure delicious wine and ensure proper storage. Keeping your cellar temperature between 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit, the ideal temperature for wine storage, or a cooler 45 degrees for those looking for long-term storage that prevents aging, wine cellar cooling systems offer precise wine storage control. However more than simple wine cellar temperature control is crucial to wine condition – humidity is also key.

Don’t Sweat It: Humidification
Because air in your home can get dry, especially in the winter, as part of your wine cellar cooling unit installation you should include a wine cellar humidifier. Wine cellar cooling in dry climates can be tricky, and humidification ensures success, keeping your collection in the ideal 60-70% relative humidity range to protect corks from drying and cracking, resulting in wine evaporation through the cork, and eventually spoilage. This temperature/humidity control combination gives you total control over your wine storage environment.

Air Things Out with an Installer You can Trust
You have a lot riding on your soon-to-be cellar. When selecting a fabricator for your wine cellar refrigeration system, ensure lasting, successful results with a licensed, insured, and experienced professional. Select a company that backs their work with honest, straight-forward pricing and an extensive warranty, ensuring they will be available 24/7 to address your unit in the event of an emergency to ensure the condition of your collection day and night.

For the ultimate in wine cellar temperature control, professionally crafted to protect your prize pinot, trust in H&H Heating & Air Conditioning. Don’t leave your investment – or your taste buds – at risk, ensure the perfect condition of your wine collection year-round. Contact us today.

Mitsubishi Ductless Heating and Cooling Systems – an Overview

 Ductless air conditioning units are rising in popularity and sales nationwide. In-use in Japan for over 50 years, and popular in Asia and Europe, this relative newcomer to the American market has been distributed across the U.S. by one of the top manufacturers of cooling and heating systems in the world, Mitsubishi Electric, for more than 30 years, gaining a snowballing portion of market share as homeowners have come to realize the amazing benefits of ductless systems.


How Does a Ductless System Work?
Ductless systems, such as Mitsubishi units, distributed by the company’s Georgia-based U.S. division, work similarly to heat-pump-style Mitsubishi central air systems, hence their alter alias: Mini-split system. The noisier part (compressor) is located outside of your home, however rather than bulky ductwork, interior, wall-mounted units are paired with the outdoor compressor unit, and distribute air via fan to each area into which they are installed. A few small 3-inch holes are all that is needed to accommodate the refrigerant lines necessary for the delivery of cooled or heated air to your home. One outdoor unit can serve up to 8 indoor room units, with more added as needed.

Why Go Ductless?
Simply put, ductless systems are the wave of the future, offering a host of advantages…

• Comfort
  Instead of heating or cooling rooms you don’t use, Mitsubishi AC units and ductless heating systems allow you to increase comfort and save money by micro-managing the parts of your home that are in-use to each family member’s preference (also called “zoned” AC/heat).
• Efficiency
  Extremely high SEER, with ratings pressing 30 versus the typical central AC system’s standard 13 SEER rating, zoned monitoring allows air handlers in each room to measure return air, adjusting automatically, unlike thermostat operation which measures conditions in a different room. Heat loss and leaks of traditional ducted systems (some as high as 25%) are also completely eliminated. Offering superior efficiency and savings on multiple levels, Mitsubishi heating units are also a great way to stay comfortable in seasonal transition days (when it’s too early to turn on the furnace) providing efficient comfort even in extremely cold climates, as low as -13° F.

• Air quality
  Advanced, multi-stage filtration captures and removes allergy and asthma-inducing contaminants, as well as those that spread illness and impact air quality.
• Quieter operation
  Indoor units are quieter than a whisper, and outdoor units as quiet as a refrigerator!
• Ease-of-use
  Operate your Mitsubishi ductless air conditioner by smart device-driven app from anywhere, programming to suit your schedule, or via remote control in your home, making every room the perfect temperature.

Who Could Benefit from Mitsubishi Ductless Heating and Cooling Systems?

• Homeowners replacing an old system, regardless of the type.
• Families who are tired of battling with hot/cold spots or fighting over the thermostat.
• Those renovating an older home, and short on space.
• New home builders, from starter homes to the luxury market.

Provide personalized comfort, conserving energy, your paycheck, and the environment with the latest in high-efficiency heating and cooling technology. Contact H&H Heating & Air Conditioning to learn more about ductless systems today.

Underfloor Heating vs Forced Air – What should you get?

Your largest home energy expense, accounting for 45% of monthly energy bills according to the U.S. Department of Energy, home heating is often a source of budgetary and comfort frustrations for homeowners. Because of these concerns, it can make choosing a new home heating source an especially nail-biting experience, especially with the broad array of systems and technology on the market today. Among common choices for a heat source are forced air and radiant heat systems, two quite different but effective heat delivery methods. Which one is best for your home?

Uncovering the Advantages & Disadvantages of Forced Air & Underfloor Heating

• Forced Air
  Forced air systems, as their name implies, force warmed air through ductwork in the home with the help of blower components. These include gas and electric furnaces, as well as heat pump systems. Though forced air systems can warm rooms quickly, rooms cool equally as fast. This transference of heat through the air isn’t as efficient as other options, leaks and holes in ductwork, as well the cold temperatures where ductwork tends to be located (attics, basements) can lead to significant heat loss with forced air systems. Because heat also rises, lower levels and floors can be left cold. Air movement from vents can also create hot/cold zones, stir up dust and allergens, and have the paradoxical effect of cooling you even though the air blown on your body is warm. Retrofitting older homes for necessary ductwork and mechanical components can also be challenging.

• Underfloor Heating
  In radiant floor or underfloor heating systems, heat produced by water, electricity or air is distributed through the home via direct contact with surfaces from under-floor tubing/components. Transferring thermal energy directly to surfaces, heat is later transferred to you and other objects in your home via infrared radiation. Allergy-friendly and consistent, these systems better eliminate heat loss due to rising heat, proving more efficient than forced air systems in studies. They also provide more quiet, even heat distribution with far less unsightly equipment – however they are not without their drawbacks. Though underfloor heating systems maintain a more constant temperature than their breezy cousins, sub-floor components can be difficult to access should maintenance needs arise. And the flipside of the continuous level of warmth these systems provide: It takes a longer time to reach comfortable temperatures. It is also difficult – but not impossible – to use these systems for cooling (which would require a chiller or geothermal heat pump). Installation cost is also higher than forced air systems, with retrofits in older homes resulting in additional expense and complication, however radiant systems can save considerable money over the long run in higher efficiency.

Is there a Customer Favorite?
 
Although forced air systems are more common, advancements in underfloor heating are making it an increasingly popular option, with many homeowners choosing to incorporating both forced air and underfloor heating in the home, most typically incorporating (standalone) radiant systems in kitchens and baths, and ever more frequently throughout the home.

Types of Heat Pumps

Considering a heat pump for your home? Today’s models can reduce heating costs by 50% compared to electric furnace and baseboard heaters. Unfortunately, finding the right model can be quite confusing due to the sheer multitude of options to consider…

The Wide World of Heat Pumps

Capable of both heating and cooling, heat pump systems work like a refrigerator, using electricity to pump heat from a cool space to a warm one to move warm air indoors in the winter, and vice versa in the summer. Because they move heat rather than generating it, operational costs are significantly reduced.
There are 3 Main Types of Heat Pumps:

• Air Source
  Inexpensive to install and commonly used, air source heat pumps function well in moderate climates, using outside air as a medium for heat exchange.
  
• Water Source
  Water source heat pumps dissipate heat by way of water instead of air. They require well, lake, or other water source access, and aren’t as common.
  
• Ground Source
  Ground source or geothermal heat pumps take advantage of thermal energy stored underground, transferring heat in a similar manner to air source heat pumps. Due to the constant temperature of the ground, they offer much more efficient operation, however installation is pricier and more complicated due to the need for excavation and installation of underground piping.

But Wait – We’re Not Done Yet! Heat Pump Sub-Types
To further confound you in the selection process, there are also sub-types of heat pump systems:

• Hybrid Heat Pump
  In climates that run the gamut from very warm in the summer to very cold in the winter, two types of hybrid systems are available to boost efficiency…
  • Ground & air source heat pump combos, with air source systems leading the way when air is warm outside, but switching to ground source when temperatures drop.
  • Heat pump and gas/oil boiler combo, where simultaneous operation can offer more consistent warmth at a higher level of efficiency. (Commonly used in homes with existing boiler systems.)
    
• Solar Heat Pump
  Used in conjunction with air and geothermal heat pumps, solar heat pumps integrate solar panels as a power supply for the system. With a solar geothermal setup, it is therefore possible to heat/cool your entire home by renewable energy.
  
• Absorption or Gas-Fired Heat Pump
  Driven by another heat source other than electricity (solar/geothermal/gas), these systems are more typical to industrial applications.

There are also a Few Different Ways to Install Heat Pump Systems, Including…

• Split System
  The most common installation on ducted systems, with an indoor evaporative unit located in a closet, basement or attic, and the condenser and compressor unit located outdoors in a large metal box.
  
• Package System
  All mechanical components are housed in a larger metal outdoor box. (Only ductwork is located in the home.)
  
• Mini Split or “Ductless”
  Great for homes without ducts, these work similar to air source heat pumps, albeit on a smaller scale.
  
• Window Heat Pumps

Different Types of Home Heating Units for your Home

The world of home heating units can seem vast, and your quest to isolate the ideal home heating solution ridden with potholes and obstacles. What’s the trick to arriving at your desired destination? You need a roadmap to the latest home comfort solutions…

Find Your Path to Comfort and Savings with these Home Heating Options:

• Furnaces & Boilers
  Furnace and boiler efficiency has increased tremendously in recent years, with some of the most energy efficient models pulling off 90-95% heating efficiency. Using ductwork to distribute warmed air (furnace) or steam-powered radiators, baseboard heaters, and radiant heating components to distribute warmth (boilers), these options commonly run on fossil fuels such as natural gas, propane, and fuel oil, but producing significantly less pollution than models just 10 years old.

• Air Source Heat Pumps
  Grabbing heat from the air outside or inside your home (depending on the season) and distributing it via ductwork to maintain temperature, heat pumps offer both heating and cooling capacity. Rather than converting heat from fuel, an air source heat pump’s ability to simply move heat delivers 1.5 to 3 times more heat energy to your home than the electrical energy consumed, reducing electricity costs by about 50% compared to resistance heating options (furnaces, baseboard heaters). Like all ducted systems, they can warm and cool rooms quickly, but have their drawbacks. Rising heat, poor insulation, and leaks and holes in the home can rob performance and efficiency, as can leaky, poorly located, poorly insulated ducts. Air movement can also create hot/cold zones, stirring up dust and allergens. Look to this system for its multifunctional advantages and economical price tag.

• Geothermal Heat Pump
  Instead using air to exchange heat, geothermal systems utilize components buried deep in the earth to harness/exchange thermal energy in the ground or nearby water. Like air source heat pumps, conditioned air is then distributed through the home via ductwork. Consistent ground temperatures offer more reliable heat exchange, with electricity use 25-50% lower than conventional heat pump systems – up to 72% lower than electric resistance heating – making geothermal the cleanest, most energy efficient heating option on the market. Humidity control in these systems is also superior. Compatible with new and retrofit installations, lot size and conditions play a role in installation possibility and cost, which is higher than conventional systems.

• Radiant Floor Heating
  In radiant floor heating systems, heat produced by electricity, water, or air is distributed throughout the home via under-floor tubing. In direct contact with floor surfaces, heat is directly transferred up and throughout your home, infusing you and the objects in your home with warmth. Eliminating heat loss to provide far more efficiency than forced-air options, radiant floor heating provides a quiet, consistent, allergy-friendly heating solution. They aren’t without drawbacks, however. The flipside of this consistent warmth comes in the form of longer times to reach optimal temperature. Installation cost is also higher than forced air systems – even more so in retrofits – however they can save considerable money over the long term in higher efficiency.
