Residential HVAC Systems Our expertise in the construction of forced air and water-based heating and cooling systems for industrial, commercial, and multi-unit facilities has allowed us to successfully complete numerous projects. We have built sophisticated boiler, piping and distribution systems for large institutional facilities. With extensive experience in large forced air systems, hydronic and radiant systems, contractors and building owners can rely on KPMB Enterprises, LLC to build quality mechanical systems while completing projects on schedule.
Design/Installation The professionally trained technicians at KPMB Enterprises Heating & Cooling Division work with both contractors and individuals building their own home to ensure the proper technical knowledge accompanies each job. We offer information on the products available at the residential level including air filtration, zoning and ultra efficient equipment to ensure each residential system is designed efficiently and installed appropriately. Repairs If you choose to work with KPMB Enterprises on a project basis, instead of selecting one of our service plans, you'll receive the expert knowledge from our trained professionals that you have to come to expect from KPMB Enterprises. Frequently Asked Questions Q. Why does a heat pump run more frequently in the winter? A. When it is very cold outside, the heat pump has to work longer to extract heat from the outdoor air. It also runs through a defrost cycle, giving the appearance that it is running longer. Q. Is the air from a heat pump cooler than air from other heating systems? A. A heat pump doesn't produce hot blasts of air like other systems. Rather it maintains a consistent indoor temperature. The air coming from the registers is usually about 85° - 95°F. Q. Smoke's coming out of my heat pump, is it on fire? A. The outdoor unit has an automatic defrost cycle. A cloud of steam rising from the outdoor unit will be observed and the outdoor fan will stop running. At the completion of the cycle, a loud swooshing noise will occur and the outdoor fan will start again. Q. What's wrong when my heat pump is covered in ice/frost? A. Frosting of the outdoor unit is normal in the winter season. And during snowy/icy weather conditions, your unit may even form a layer of ice. As long as the temperature in the house remains comfortable there should be no problem with your unit. If there is any ice build-up at any other time of the year, the unit needs to be checked out. Scraping or cleaning the frost from the outdoor unit is not recommended. Q. What is your diagnostic fee? A. $79.00 for residential and $99 for commercial - that covers trip and diagnosis. Q. How often should I change filters? A. Twice a year. If you sign up for one of our service agreements we will make sure this gets taken care of on a timely basis. Caring for Your Heat Pump What is a heat pump? In the summer, an air-to-air heat pump operates as a standard air conditioner, collecting heat from the air in your home and expelling it outside. In the winter, the process is reversed, so that the heat pump collects heat from outdoor air to warm the air inside your home. A heat pump's operation and efficiency comes from a principle known as heat transfer. Rather than creating heat, the electric heat pump utilizes existing heat and simply moves it to the desired location. Most heat pumps have a supplemental system to boost the heat when it is extremely cold. It can either be electric heat strips or a gas furnace. A Packaged heat pump is a self-contained single unit system. A Split System heat pump is a two piece heat pump unit that includes components inside and outside your home. |
