3 Great Reasons to Install a New Variable Air Handler

Variable Air Handler portland If your home’s air handler is getting on in years, you might be thinking about a replacement. Today’s variable air handler utilizes advanced technology. It’s a great option for you to consider, with multiple benefits for homeowners, much like other HVAC modernizations like tankless water heaters. Here’s what you need to know about this new technology.

Better Energy Efficiency

You might think that an always-on air handler will require more electricity to run. But, because they’re more responsive to warming and cooling temperature changes, they actually require less energy to achieve and maintain the comfort level you select, saving you money.

Greater Comfort

A variable unit offers you greater options besides the “on” and “off” modes of your old unit. Adjustments are more gradual so you can find the ideal climate for your furnace- or heat pump-warmed home.

Improved Air Quality

Because these variable models are always on, they keep air moving throughout the day and night. As air moves through the filters in your HVAC system–whether you have a gas furnace or a ductless heat pump–impurities are removed more effectively.

My wife and I just purchased a 70 year old house in Portland. Great house but needed some much needed upgrades. One of which was a full HVAC system. Greg the point person was great to work with. The gentleman who actually performed the work was Chad Hacking. He was polite, efficient and communicative. He always answered my questions and was responsive to my wants. I wanted to hide the AC compressor behind the house, not on the side where it had sat. No problem. Chad and his friendly apprentice, cleaned up and left the place spotless. They even put a light fixture in the furnace room, unsolicited. I had a great experience with this company. Chad even saw to it that I was only with out heat for the shortest time possible. They even provided a space heater. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to upgrade their heating/cooling system. Top notch.

Five years ago, Advanced Heating installed a new Heat Pump system in my mother's house that didn't go well. The installation was done poorly, but sometimes that happens and Advanced made it right at no extra cost. A few months ago the temp regulating electronics malfunctioned, but sometimes equipment fails and Advanced made it right at a reasonable cost. I am so impressed with Advanced Heating's high regards for customer satisfaction that I chose Advanced Heating for my own Heating and AC system (that was installed perfectly and has been running great for 2 years) and my daughter's Heating system (that was installed perfectly and has been running great for 2 months). I rarely post online reviews—maybe because I can't write short reviews—but their service has been so impressive these past 5 years it wouldn't be right not to tell others about Advanced Heating's superb efforts to achieve and keep our high satisfaction.

A+++ I don't usually write reviews but when someone does an outstanding job, I think they should be recognized. We had seven different companies quote our project. It was a major remodel involving moving the HVAC from the garage to the attic space above the second floor. Greg spent a lot of time understanding our project and recommending ways to improve the system. Advanced was the only company to propose adding additional cold air returns to balance the air floor better. Our two-story home only had a single cold air return, but Greg proposed adding an additional 6 cold air returns (one in each bedroom and one in the library). He also proposed a three-zone system to better balance the upstairs, downstairs, and the new master bedroom over the garage. Greg’s solution was the most complex of any of the seven quotes we received but it was not the most expensive. In fact, the Advanced quote was right in the middle. I did some research about the company and based on the reviews we selected Advanced. Even though we had several months of demo and construction ahead before we would be ready to have the new system installed, Greg suggested that we buy the HVAC unit, and they would store it until we were ready. He was pretty sure that there was going to be a significant price hike, so this assured us the lowest cost. We went ahead and followed Greg’s advice. At that time no one anticipated all the supply chain problems that were on the horizon. If we had waited to order the system until we were close to being ready, we would have been out of luck for many months. But one thing we didn’t order in advance was the ductwork – who would have guessed that flexible ductwork would be out of stock. But that is exactly what happened when it was time to do our installation. Greg and the team at Advanced went out of their way to find the ductwork we needed. They searched all over the Northwest finding a box of ductwork in Washington, another box in Montana,… They somehow managed to get just enough ductwork to do our installation. Unfortunately, due to other delays in the project, the system was scheduled to be installed in an uninsulated attic space in August right during Portland’s 109-degree heatwave. The crew came early in the morning and worked as long as they could safely each day. That was real dedication. But how did the finished project turn out? The three-zone system is fantastic. Every morning when I get up all three zones are within one degree of each other and there are no more hot/cold rooms in each zone. All the extra ductwork for the six new cold air returns has really helped balance the rooms. Even on the coldest days this past winter the entire house was consistent and comfortable. I highly recommend Advanced Heating and cooling for three reasons. 1) They sell Trane HVAC units – we have used Trane in the past with excellent results. 2) They are reasonably priced, not the cheapest and definitely not the most expensive. 3) They have a committed team of professionals who go above and beyond what you typically get.

This is our first time to use this company and they are our forever Co. Good people-respectful-on time-clean-don't promise what they can't deliver-Sent the right people to do the job and the electrician was on spot. Extra services were above normal

I was very impressed with the company. The company sealed ducts and installed an AC system. They showed up on time, were professional, answered all questions, had knowledge about the process, were polite, had quality selections, kept all spotless, passed inspection the first time, and made me a happy customer. The office staff is also A+.

Advanced Heating and Air Conditioning is a top company. We have been using them to clean our gas heater for years. When it came time to replace it, they were the one we called. Excellent work ethics. And when we finally gave in and wanted AC, we called them again. We have recommended them to others, who have chosen Advanced Heating themselves.

This company just today, finished putting in a new gas heating unit for our 1,100 sq.ft. home. Well, from Start-to-Finish, these folks were pleasant, knowledgeably, GREAT with communication, and Extra-Great with the day and half required to get the job done. The crew was very clean and detailed with their work: preparation and clean-up, and we always knew 'what-was-up' with the process, and the whole job was done on time! Our initial estimator, Greg, was one of the most gregarious( no pun intended) and savvy guy who knew all about the engineering stuff of heating, the gizmos and the bells-and-whistles, and what stuff for our home just might be underperforming and overperforming. We sure appreciated his approach and personality. A fine salesman. The Job Crew of Ben and Jesus were straight-up and steady, and accomplished workers. YUP. I sure do recommend this company.

They came out to install/relocate vents for our 2nd floor remodel. They were on time did their work and cleaned up nicely. They even came back after other work was completed to put the finishing touches on one item. Advance installed our furnace about 6 years ago too. Good local company. I recommend them for your HVAC needs.
