Get stuck in the dark during the recent flooding and bad weather? We can help you with an automatic switch-over generator to provide your whole home with electricity. These Kohler and Generac generators will provide power for your refrigerators, lights, sump-pumps, and appliances whether you are home or not to turn it on.
If you are one of the many households in the area that have hydronic heating, electric baseboard or other non-ducted heating and are hoping to have air conditioning installed, we have a solution for you.
Split-ductless systems can provide easy retrofits for whole home air conditioning. The principle of a split-ductless system is that an outdoor compressor powers one or more indoor evaporator heads that heat or cool your house without the use of ductwork.
The outdoor unit is a small, quiet unit that can easily be hidden near the house. These units are much less obtrusive than the typical central air conditioner outdoor condenser.
The outdoor unit connects to one or multiple evaporator heads indoors. These heads generally hang high on the wall of a few of your rooms and provide cooling for your house. Each evaporator is individually controlled, giving you the ability to make each room the temperature most confortable for your use. With some brands, there are options for the design of the head. Also, with Mitsubishi (our main brand of split-ductless) there are low wall and semi-ducted indoor evaporators for even more flexible installations.
One final advantage of the split ductless is the technology behind the whole system. Mitsubishi units utilize inverter compressor technology. This helps keep the operational sound down and efficiency up. Further, if you select a multiple head system, it is automatically a heat pump. This gives you the ability to not only have cooling, but also supplemental heat to offset fuel costs during the milder spring and fall heating seasons.
If you think that you cannot have central air conditioning, think again. We have the solution for you!
We are hard at work answering the phone, visiting homes, and giving folks prices for new, high-efficiency equipment. What is keeping us so busy? First, We had a great home show, meeting lots of nice folks that are looking for prices and information from us. Secondly, Lennox is offering a substantial rebate (up to $1,600 with the right combination of equipment) from now until June 3rd. So, give us a ring. We are ready to answer the phone and get you pricing on new equipment. Maybe we can even get you a Lennox rebate! (800-634-1038)
I have said it before in other posts, but I wanted to take this opportunity to again invite you to visit Schoonover at the upcoming Williamsport Home Show.
The show, sponsored by the West Branch Susquehanna Builders Association, opens tomorrow (Thursday March 17) at 5pm. The hours are Thursday and Friday 5-9pm, Saturday 10am-8pm and Sunday from 12-4pm.
Come by our booth (37 & 38 in your program) to chat about any of our exciting products. We have equipment, literature, expertise and even some candy available for you. Also, don’t forget to check out our show specials.
For more information on how to get to the show, where to park, etc, please visit the West Branch Susquehanna Builders Association website here.
The second day of the Lennox show brought a whole new round of product announcements and Lennox news. Here is a brief re-cap.
The product discussion focused primarily on Lennox’s award winning line of air conditioners and heat pumps (the XC/XP-21 and XC/XP-17). This year, these systems can claim the title of most efficient and quietest units available on the market. Beyond the air conditioners, much time was spent discussing the advancements of the Lennox Indoor Air Quality line (a product line you will see many future posts from me on). There are some great improvements on the PureAir product and HRVs. Also, Lennox will be releasing a steam humidifier product to compete with the Honeywell TrueSteam we currently use (it is always good to have options).
Finally, Lennox detailed their work on the new and exciting “social media” front. Well, new and exciting is a bit of a misnomer, though it is at least new and exciting in the HVAC industry. On that note, check out Lennox’s new YouTube Channel to watch their new TV spots (cool graphics) and some other neat stuff there.
As I said yesterday, don’t forget to come by the West Branch Susquehanna Home Builders Home Show in Williamsport PA, starting this Thursday evening. Visit here for more information on show times and location.
Hi all!
A quick hello from some of the Schoonover staff at the Lennox dealer meeting in Atlantic City, NJ. We are down here learning all about the new products and services that Lennox is providing for us to offer to our customers. We are nearly through one day of the two-day show and we have learned plenty.
For instance, Lennox is strengthening their furnace line to provide more flexibility at a variety of pricing. Lennox is also expanding their SunSource solar product line with (at some point this year) higher capacity panels. Finally, Lennox has added the famed Tetco geothermal product line to their offerings (I will certainly blog more about this later). I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
As this year’s Lennox Dealer show is before the West Branch Susquehanna Home Builders Home Show in Williamsport PA, please take the opportunity to stop by our booth there to chat about what we are learning! Visit here for more information on show times and location.
A few months ago we posted about the recent requirement that all residential new homes (modular and stick build) are now required to have an approved sprinkler system installed. It seems as though some of the state government officials are trying to repeal this requirement before it slows down housing starts.
If you are thinking about building a house in the near future, this is something you will want to pay close attention to.
It appears that Schoonover Plumbing & Heating, Inc. will be awarded the mechanical contract for the new Sullivan County School District’s renovation and upgrade project to commence this summer. The project includes additional classrooms in the elementary school, upgrade to the administrative office, and a new biomass boiler system. This project is the second biomass boiler project Schoonover will be running this summer (the first is Northeast Bradford School District’s project).
After the crazy cold winter we just had, the benefits of having a backup generator are easy to see. With a generator that can run your whole house and an automatic transfer switch, you don’t have to worry about not having power to run your heat, lights, and other electronic appliances.
Not all generators are created equal, however. Having a high-quality generator properly sized for your house will provide years of security. Generators are pretty expensive and not everyone has the same risk of power outage. Many houses in our rural area, though, are susceptible to frequent outages throughout the winter, particularly when you want the power the most (during snow and ice storms).
We carry a Lennox branded generator, manufactured by Kohler. Kohler came to the generator game from the commercial side of things. This background philosophy puts Kohler generators as some of the sturdiest, strongest generators available in the residential market today. We are very happy with this generator and its capabilities and value. literature
