Dallas, or Heat Pump and Furnace Replacements
If your home or business is in need of a new heat pump, it’s important to look for one that offers both a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) as well as a high HSPF (heating season performance) rating. The SEER rating provides an indication of how well the unit will cool your building during the hotter months, while the HSPF rating identifies how well the HVAC unit will heat the interior air. For the best results, choose a heat pump that delivers high ratings for both SEER and HSPF.
When dealing with furnaces, the efficiency is identified by the AFUE or Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency rating. The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) requires all companies to include the AFUE for each of the units being manufactured. Older models have lower AFUEs, meaning that they don’t perform as well as newer models. For greater efficiency and savings on your energy bills, choose a furnace with an AFUE of at least 91%.
Since Models Offering Greater Efficiency Are Also More Expensive, Here’s a Look at Afue Ratings in General:
- AFUE of 77% and below delivers the lowest levels of efficiency and higher energy costs
- AFUE of 78% to 90% provides solid performance with a middle-of-the-road efficiency and good energy savings
- AFUE of 91% and up offers the highest levels of efficiency as well as the greatest savings on your energy bills

Understanding the Importance of Choosing a Properly Sized System
All too often, buildings are fitted with a heating unit that simply wasn’t designed for a structure of that size. This problem is understandable, and it is usually caused by a failure to consider whether or not the system being purchased is actually the correct size. After all, the AFUE, SEER, HSPF, or EER are listed in the high range, so why shouldn’t the unit heat or cool the home properly?
In Order to Determine What Size Heating System Is Needed, You Must Consider Each of the Following Factors:
- The number of floors in the building
- The size of each of the rooms
- The climate in Dallas, OR
- The square footage of the entire living space
- The age, condition, and quantity of insulation in the building
- Amount of direct sunlight your building receives
- The British Thermal Units (BTUs) required by your structure for proper heating to occur
The BTUs are actually calculated by taking into consideration all of the other factors. Our heating specialist can assist you with this task, ensuring the installation of a heating unit that is properly sized for your home or commercial building.

Installing a Digital Thermostat
While energy savings are realized by installing a quality heating unit offering a high SEER, EER, AFUE, and HSPF, you can maximize those savings by installing a digital thermostat that allows you to:
- Program temperatures throughout the day and week
- Make changes to your temperature using your phone and the Internet
- Control the humidity levels in your building
- Observe a schedule for proper maintenance, including changing the filter
If you’re looing for a heating repair, installation or maintenance in Dallas, then you’ve come to the right place. We offer a variety of heating and cooling services! Contact us today for more information.

Heating & Cooling FAQ
-
Why should I get a new HVAC system?It can often be difficult for home and business owners to tell if it’s time to upgrade their heating and cooling system. Loren's Heating & Air can assist you in this process. We want you to understand the pros and cons of continuing to repair and maintain your current system versus upgrading and making the investment in a new system. Some of the most important things to consider are increased energy efficiency, updated components, rebates and incentives, better home comfort and indoor air quality, and more effective heating and cooling.
-
Why are air conditioner efficiency ratings important?In 2006, the Federal Government made it mandatory for all central air conditioning systems to have a minimum SEER of 13. SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, is a measure of the cooling system’s performance. On the highest end of performance, cooling units are rated as high 23 SEER. As with anything, the better performance, the higher the cost. For a system with moderate to good efficiency, you should look for a model with a SEER rating of between 14 and 18. The EER, or the Energy Efficiency Rating, provides an indication of the cooling capacity of the system that you’ve had installed. The higher the EER number, the better the system’s cooling capacity.
-
What are the different types of air conditioner refrigerant?If you have an air conditioning system that requires the old type of refrigerant, R-22, your system is still usable but only reclaimed or recycled R-22 can be used to service your air conditioner. R410-A is now the required standard for newer systems and has less environmental impact relative to the older refrigerant. Eventually, you will need to replace your air conditioner with one that uses R410-A, or have it modified so that it can use R410-A. The type of refrigerant your AC uses is only one of many reasons to consider upgrading, and if your existing unit is outdated, now might be a good time to look into having it replaced to boost energy efficiency, lessen environmental impact, and make sure you are operating a safe system. Not only will an upgraded cooling system make it easier to have your unit serviced, but it’ll also save you money on your annual cooling costs. Loren's Heating & Air in Salem, OR, offers the highest quality air conditioner replacement services.
-
How is furnace efficiency measured?Furnace energy efficiency is calculated with the AFUE, or the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency rating. The AFUE is a rating that compares how much heat a furnace will produce relative to the amount of energy necessary to produce the heat. If a furnace is rated at 85 percent AFUE, it means 15 percent of the energy used is lost and 85 percent actually becomes heat for your home or business.
-
What is indoor air quality and why is it important?Indoor air quality, or IAQ, is a measurement of the amount of airborne particles and pollutants inside your home or building. Because properties are being constructed to be more energy efficient, they are also becoming more airtight, meaning that fresh air often does not have a way to enter and circulate. This is one of the reasons why the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, leading to a host of allergy and respiratory issues. Fortunately, IAQ products such as air filters, air purifiers, and humidifiers work in conjunction with your central AC and heating unit to decrease the prevalence of dust, dander, bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and other potentially harmful particles in your indoor air. Our team can work with you to find the right solution to fit your needs.
