Greenwood, AR

Air Conditioning

In 1993, only 68 percent of homes in the United States had air conditioning. By 2017 that number had jumped to 90 percent. Today, an air conditioner is a standard appliance in Arkansas and as essential to most families as a car, a microwave, or a refrigerator.

Air conditioning units have made incredible leaps in technology and efficiency in the last few years, making installing and operating a Greenwood home or small office air conditioning unit incredibly affordable.

In 2010, the most common refrigerant used in small air conditioning units, R-22, was banned in the European Union (EU) and the United States as part of a phaseout of ozone-depleting chemicals. In preparation for the ban, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry moved toward R-410A as the replacement for R-22.

The adoption of R-410A in home and small office air conditioners began a new era in high-efficiency air conditioning systems. Air conditioning units are more efficient, have a smaller footprint, and quieter than ever before.

Mountain Air Cooling & Heating has been replacing older R-22 units with new R-410A equipment for years. Call our team at 479-782-4328 and we will help you find the right unit for your home. Request air conditioning service online today.

Air Ducts

Just like your water pipes, air ducts hidden above the ceiling can leak and cause major damage to your home. Instead of water, air ducts leak conditioned air in wall and ceiling spaces wasting energy and promoting mold growth in places you can’t see.

Unfortunately, our Mountain Air Cooling & Heating experts find a lot of Greenwood homes with old, leaking ducts. Sometimes the duct systems have been leaking for years wasting thousands of dollars in energy costs.

The telltale signs of damaged ductwork are high utility bills, damps spots on the ceiling near vents, or noisy or whistling sounds coming from the walls. If you smell mold or other bad odors coming from your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, do not waste time thinking things will improve. Have one of our professionals check the air ducts system right away.

Old ducts can be brought back to life. Duct cleaning, resealing leaky joints, or replacing noisy sections of ductwork can restore efficiency and bring comfort back to your Arkansas home. Call us at 479-782-4328, as we can propose the right solutions to fix noisy and inefficient duct systems. Request air duct service online today.

Ductless Systems

The era of ultra-high efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units is here. Ductless systems are small, wall-mounted, single-zone heating and air units with cooling Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings near 30 compared to standard units with a typical SEER around 18. It is not uncommon in Arkansas for homeowners to see substantial savings in their energy bills the first month after installation of a mini split system.

Mini split units solve multiple problems at once. High efficiency makes a ductless system an outstanding replacement for an older HVAC unit. The ability to connect multiple ductless units to one condensing unit creates a zone control system, bringing high efficiency to multiple rooms. These systems offer extra benefits for your Greenwood home and can save you money overall.

Is your home right for a new ductless system? One call to Mountain Air Cooling & Heating at 479-782-4328 and we can survey your home to see which ductless system will serve you best. Request ductless system service online today.

Furnaces

The last 10 years have seen incredible advancements in home-heating technology. The standard efficiency home furnace installed in most houses in Arkansas is becoming obsolete. In its place is an impressive lineup of gas furnaces that do everything from make instant hot water, warm radiant floors, and feed radiator systems.

This new supply of gas heater is more compact and more efficient than ever. In addition to our fast furnace repair, replacing an older gas furnace with a new, 95 percent efficient condensing furnace is one of Mountain Air Cooling & Heating’s most common heating equipment calls.

A condensing furnace achieves high efficiency by using the hot combustion gasses, or flue gas, to add an additional stage of heating to the water. Extracting more heat from the flue gas causes the gas to condense in the furnace, creating cooler flue gases that can be vented with PVC pipe instead of expensive double wall flue pipes. Greenwood homeowners realize immediate savings on their gas bills with a condensing furnace.

If you have an old electric furnace, call 479-782-4328 . We can work together to install a new high-efficiency furnace. Request furnace service online today.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

An increasing number of homeowners in Arkansas are considering geothermal heat pumps when they get quotes to replace their existing systems. The US Department of Energy (DOE) reports that geothermal systems use 25 to 50 percent less electricityGreenwood than standard heating and air units. Additionally, geothermal heating and cooling units often last 20 years or more versus 10 to 15 years for typical heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

Unlike most HVAC units that use the atmosphere as a heat source and heat sink, a geothermal heat pump unit uses a series of underground pipes to make the earth the heat sink. The installation of the underground piping takes the place of the outdoor condensing unit found on most heating and air systems.

Not every company has the knowledge and experience to install geothermal heat pumps properly like we do at Mountain Air Cooling & Heating. A poor installation by an inexperienced contractor can mean the geothermal system provides little to no energy savings.

Call us at 479-782-4328 to let our team of experienced geothermal heat pump professionals help you decide which system is right for your Greenwood home. Request geothermal heat pump service online today.
