Phase-Out R-22

R-22 refrigerant is being phased out in many countries, including the United States and much of Europe, due to its designation as an ozone depleting substance. R-410A (also branded as AZ-20, Puron, EcoFluor R410, and Forane 410A) is a more environmentally-friendly alternative that is readily available. In fact, most air conditioning systems are now supplied with R-410A.

If your air conditioning system is still running R-22 or if you simply don’t know, Kidron Electric will gladly inspect your system and help you be in compliance with current regulations. Some systems can be retrofitted for R-410A while others may need to be replaced. Regardless, you can trust Kidron Electric to provide you with an honest assessment of your current system. Guaranteed!

Types of HVAC Systems

There are four main types of HVAC systems: Split Systems; Hybrid Heat Split Systems, Duct-Free Split Systems, and Packaged Systems. Kidron Electric is experienced with all of these systems, as well as emerging HVAC technology.

Split Systems

The Split System is the most common HVAC system used and is true to its name. Part of the system is installed inside the building while part is installed outside. In its simplest form, the Split System includes a combination of a furnace, an air conditioner, duct work, and a thermostat.

Hybrid Heat Split Systems

A Hybrid Heat Split Systems builds on the elements of a Split System and adds an electric heat pump, thereby enabling electric-based heating and cooling in addition to the primary gas-fired system. With the optional electric heat pump option, the Hybrid Heat Split System is more energy efficient than a standard split system.

Duct-Free Split Systems

Duct-Free Split Systems are also installed both inside and outside of the building. But rather than a network of ducts carrying heated and cooled air throughout the building, the external unit (i.e., heat pump or air conditioner) heats or cools the refrigerant. Compact refrigerant lines then deliver the heated or cooled refrigerant to the internal unit. The internal unit, most often a fan coil, then converts the refrigerant and circulates the heated or cooled air.

A Duct-Free Split System is commonly installed to complement an existing split system. Likewise, it may be the sole option when a ducted system is not possible due construction limitations.

Packaged Systems

In some situations, limited spacing cannot accommodate both internal and external components. In such cases, a Packaged System with the air conditioner and/or heat pump and fan or evaporator coil are “packaged” in the same unit. Packaged Systems are available for single rooms or the entire facility. And like other systems, may be installed at ground level or more commonly on the roof.

Other Considerations

As a design/build specialist, Kidron Electric is committed to helping our clients choose the best system for their needs. Accordingly, an optimal HVAC design may feature other components and systems, such as:

DDC (Direct Digital Controls) and Computerized Control Systems
Energy management
Chillers & cooling towers
Condensing units
Heat exchangers
Boilers & pumps
Induction Systems
Direct Expansion Cooling Systems
Evaporative coolers
Air handling units
Humidifiers & dehumidifiers
Unitary heat pumps
Variable Air Volume (VAV) System
Door heaters
Dual Duct Systems
Hot & Chilled Water Piping Systems (existing systems)
Ice Melt Systems
Geothermal
Radiant floor heat
Ventilation & exhaust

Remote HVAC System Controls

An optimally designed HVAC system may perform even better with remote system controls. And Kidron Electric embraces remote system controls that enable real time access and management anywhere you may be. With digital reporting that can target a single room or the entire facility, control of your HVAC system is at your fingertips.

Desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones with internet access are now part of your HVAC system!
