Robinson Heating & Cooling offers a variety of indoor air quality solutions

Indoor air quality in Green Bay is a concern among homeowners every spring as allergy season, pet dander and other impurities can affect sleep and overall health. Robinson Heating & Cooling offers a variety of indoor air quality solutions that deliver cleaner air for everyone in your house.

Filters that fit into your home’s heating and air conditioning system are the most common method for removing larger particles from the air in your home. These relatively inexpensive products carry different ratings depending how effective they are in capturing increasingly small particles.

HEPA filters – High-efficiency particle arrestor (HEPA) filters trap and hold particles as small as .03 microns. Most of the particles in your home’s air are smaller than 1 micron, making HEPA filters much more effective than the paper filters sold by retail stores. Typical paper filters collect particles as small as 10 microns in size, missing out on about 98 percent of the particulates in the air.

UV air purifiers – Ultraviolet (UV) filters use short-wave light to inactivate pathogens and airborne microorganisms such as bacteria, mold and viruses. Air is forced through a UV air purifier and past a UV lamp, which cleans the air before releasing it back into your home.

Carbon air filters – Lennox offers a Carbon Clean 16™ air filter under its Healthy Climate® Solutions brand that fits into your home’s standard disposable air filter slot. These filters use activated, carbon-coated fibers to remove particles and germs from your home’s air. The Carbon Clean 16™ reaches an industry-leading MERV 16 rating on the 1-16 Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value scale.

Lennox’s indoor air quality systems improve air throughout your home

The Lennox line of Healthy Climate® Solutions air purification systems are among the best on the market for indoor air quality. Our expert technicians meet with homeowners to determine the appropriate systems or filters for each situation.

These products work with your central heating and cooling system to improve the air quality throughout your home. They deliver a more effective indoor air quality solution than portable air quality products.

Customers looking for a premium indoor air quality system choose the PureAir™ S Air Purification System from Lennox. This system uses three types of technology to control every type of indoor air pollution, including bacteria, mold, viruses, fungi, and even smells and chemical vapors.

The PureAir™ S Air Purification System removes or destroys 90 percent of flu and cold viruses, bacteria and other living microorganisms down to 0.01 micron. Unlike most other indoor air quality products on the market, the PureAir™ S Air Purification System does not produce any ozone and actually works to reduce this lung irritant.

Robinson Heating & Cooling takes the worry out of WiFi thermostat installation

If the thought of removing your home’s old thermostat and wiring in a new wireless thermostat makes you break out in a cold sweat, you’re not alone. WiFi thermostat installation in Green Bay is one of the most common requests Robinson Heating & Cooling receives outside of emergencies.

It’s not uncommon for a homeowner to call us in the middle of trying to complete a WiFi thermostat installation themselves, only to realize this task takes a certain level of electrical expertise. WiFi thermostat installation is becoming a popular choice because these smart devices offer you more control over the temperature inside your home.

WiFi thermostat installation provides direct access to the controls of your home’s comfort systems. It allows you to set up programmable routines for daytime or nighttime temperatures, and you can even get your house warmed up in advance of returning home from vacation.

WiFi thermostat installation requires an understanding of electrical wiring

As simple as manufacturers would like you to believe the process of WiFi thermostat installation is, it is not easy for everyone. In fact, it can be downright dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. Learning this the hard way is something to be avoided.

After confirming your heating and cooling systems are even compatible with a WiFi thermostat, you will need to determine if you have enough wires at the thermostat location. Most systems require a wire to plug into the C-terminal to provide continuous power to the thermostat. There may or may not be a C-wire present with your older thermostat.

We recommend you don’t do it yourself, trust a professional. A Robinson Heating & Cooling technician can safely take care of WiFi thermostat installation for you.

Robinson Heating & Cooling specializes in boiler replacement and repair

Boiler replacement in Green Bay is an investment most homeowners and building owners try to put off as long as possible. While it’s only natural to avoid a major expense, the fact is that looking into boiler replacement sooner than later has its benefits.

Boilers provide clues that indicate they are nearing the end of efficient operation. Understanding these warning signs enables you to plan for boiler replacement rather than getting hit with an unexpected expense. Robinson Heating & Cooling technicians can let you know if boiler repair or replacement is your best option.

Boiler replacement warning signs

1. Your boiler’s warranty has expired
   Cast iron boilers can last 20 years or more with regular maintenance, while condensing boilers can last 15 years or longer. Boiler technology has evolved to the point where boiler replacement can make sense from an energy efficiency standpoint even if the unit itself still has some life in it. Check the warranty on your unit to see if it has expired, especially with regard to the heat exchanger.
2. Inconsistent heating
   It could be a sign that the controls on your boiler are no longer working effectively if you notice a significant difference in temperature between different rooms in your house or during different times of the day.
3. Water leaks from your boiler
   This seems simple enough, but your boiler should not leak or require additional water. Contact a boiler specialist immediately to determine if boiler replacement may be necessary.
4. Your energy bills are higher than usual
   Keep an eye on your energy bills to get an idea whether your boiler is working harder than it did a year ago in similar weather conditions. A significant change could indicate your boiler is not performing well and is losing efficiency.</li
5. Discoloration of flame or more soot
   Your carbon monoxide detector may alert you to the fact your boiler is not burning fuel properly. Also, the existence of black soot on oil boilers or yellow flames on gas burners are potential signs your boiler is creating carbon monoxide.

Contact Robinson Heating & Cooling to schedule your regular boiler maintenance visit, and ensure your home remains safe and energy efficient before a boiler replacement is needed.

Despite the best efforts of our Robinson Heating & Cooling technicians, emergency furnace repair visits occasionally turn into discussions about replacing an old unit with a brand new one.

You can take steps to enhance your home’s energy efficiency regardless of whether you end up investing in a new furnace.

Change the filter in your furnace – During a normal, cold Green Bay winter, it’s a good idea to change your filter every month or so to ensure optimal air flow and minimize dust.

Robinson Heating & Cooling can help you determine if boiler replacement is your best bet

Boiler replacement is not as well-understood as furnace replacement, which puts Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, Inc. technicians in the position of consultant when this question comes up with homeowners.

Boilers are similar to furnaces in that they play a role in heating your home, but the system it uses to get the job done is completely different than that for a furnace. While furnaces circulate heated air through the duct system in the house, boilers circulate hot water through pipes in radiators and radiant floor heating systems.

Boiler replacement does not have to wait until your unit completely shuts down. If your home has an older boiler, it may be worthwhile to investigate whether a newer, more efficient model would deliver enhanced comfort along with energy cost savings.

Heat pumps can supplement boiler replacement strategy

You have several choices when it comes to boiler replacement, some of which don’t involve replacing your boiler at all. Let us explain.

Your boiler may have several years of life left in it, making it sensible to keep it in operation with a little help from a friend in the form of a heat pump. A heat pump can help assist the boiler in heating your home on the milder winter days and can help distribute the hot water more efficiently throughout your home. It is even possible to connect it to radiant in-floor heating systems.

Some boilers can also double as hot water heaters, or with the addition of an indirect storage tank, the existing boiler can provide the domestic hot water for the home.

Our home heating experts can help you answer these questions with a free, no-obligation consultation. We will identify exactly which systems are ideal for your home’s configuration, and let you know what rebates and incentives are available to help you save money on any boiler replacement decision you make.

Robinson Heating & Cooling experts help homeowners make the best choice

Furnace replacement is a stressful proposition for every homeowner, which is why information is so important to the decision process and creating a sense of choice. The technicians of Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, Inc. understand the concern that comes with such a significant investment and take the time to educate their customers on the pros and cons of furnace replacement.

Furnace technology has come a long way in the past 15 or 20 years, making an investment in furnace replacement much easier to accept in the name of enhanced energy efficiency and dependability. Evaluating the current status of your home’s furnace is the first step in deciding whether to pursue furnace replacement or ride it out another winter.

Repairing your existing furnace often is a viable, short-term solution. However, if a replacement turns out to be the more prudent course of action, Robinson Heating & Cooling’s technicians will make sure you have the information you need to understand the situation and make the right choice going forward.

Furnace replacement provides peace of mind for winter

Wisconsin winters have a way of aging home furnaces at a rapid rate, especially with the extended heating seasons the region has been experiencing in recent years. Many homeowners who struggled with old, undependable furnaces are looking toward a replacement as a solution to their worries.

Robinson Heating & Cooling carries the heating industry’s leading brands of home comfort systems, including Lennox furnaces and air conditioners. We make the purchase experience easy by completing the paperwork required to claim any rebate offers and warranties available.
