Heating and Air Conditioning Zoning Featured in New Homes from Michael Allen Homes

6/24/2014

Michael Allen Homes features
Zone heating and air conditioning allows the various sections of your home to be comfortable no matter what the temperature needs might be. Nearly all of the new homes that have HVAC installed by Jackson Heating and Air (including custom homes from Michael Allen Homes) utilize zoning to better condition the home and provide superior efficiency. Below are a few points on how zoning is a must for the new homes of today.

  • The sizing of your heating and air is critical in providing comfort and efficiency. With insulation and construction better and tighter today, zoning provides just the right amount of conditioning based on the needs and capacity of every area of your home.
  • The time of day and the number of people within the home determines the needs of your heating and cooling in any given area. By adding zoning HVAC to your home you can now have several thermostats that will greatly increase the level of comfort and efficiency.
  • It is not uncommon to see older 3000 – 4000 square foot homes with as many as three different HVAC units. By adding Zoning to your home, you eliminate the need for multiple units which, of course, allows the home to be more efficient in heating and cooling only the rooms needed.
  • Jackson Heating and Air is committed to appropriately sizing the unit for your home. Multiple units are often oversized by ½ to ¾ of a ton which can dangerously cause temperature, comfort and humidity problems in the future. 

Working in collaboration with the Michael Allen Homes in East Lake Estates allows Jackson Heating and Air to choose the right system that will efficiently cool and heat year round. We strongly suggest that you consider HVAC zoning in your custom building project.

Foam Insulation is a Money-Saving Feature in East Lake Estates

Auburn, Alabama is home to one of the most innovative and ecologically friendly insulation companies in the market today. Ecological Insulation has been working diligently at making a new home from Michael Allen Homes, the most energy efficient home on the market today. It is the goal of these two companies to achieve a “Grade One” insulation rating.

The two choices homeowners have when deciding what type of insulation to install are spray foam and traditional fiber products. While we believe that the best insulation is achieved through spray foam it will be our goal to achieve the maximum insulation rating possible if choosing traditional fiber products.

Every Michael Allen Home receives a trademarked “Eco EnergySeal Package” which includes advanced air sealing techniques to ensure that all homes have reduced air changes per hour. To put it simply, Ecological Insulation will work to seal up every crack and crevice with caulk and can foam to make sure every house is as energy efficient as possible.

The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) requires proper insulation and air sealing techniques to pass the energy efficient standards. While Alabama is currently adhering to the 2009 IEC Code, Michael Allen Homes meets or exceeds the 2012 IECC standard.  Working in conjunction with Pella Windows, high efficiency Trane HVAC equipment and Energy Recovery Ventilators a Michael Allen Home will achieve a three Air Exchange Per Hour energy efficiency rating.

David Kahn, partner in Ecological Insulation, believes that insulation is often one of the last items thought about in building a home.

“Insulation is often an overlooked aspect of the home. What is behind the walls is usually ‘out of sight, therefore out of mind’. We believe that one way to afford more home is to pay less to operate it and keep it comfortable. Upgraded insulation is an upgrade that provides constant annual returns on investment. Utility rates do not appear to be going down, therefore the return is greater as utility rates continue to rise.”  
-David Kahn of Ecological Insulation
Thanks to Ecological Insulation you can rest assured that every Michael Allen Home is built as energy efficient as it is beautiful.
