Furnace Installation
With the cold winters in and around Jackson, Michigan, it is important to have a heating system that you can depend on to keep your home comfortable, even on the most bitter days. If your furnace is starting to become less and less reliable or costing you a fortune in gas and electricity, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Sometimes, the cost of repairing an older furnace outweighs the cost of replacing the system completely. It can also be more beneficial to replace an old, energy-wasting furnace with one that is more efficient. Replacing your outdated, failing furnace can save you significant amounts of money on energy bills. Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is here to help with all of your furnace replacement needs!
Radiant Heating Services
Radiant heating is a great alternative to other heat sources, depending on where you live. Radiant heating systems supply heat directly to the floor or to panels in the wall or ceiling of a house. The systems depend largely on radiant heat transfer — the delivery of heat directly from the hot surface to the people and objects in the room via infrared radiation. Radiant heating is the effect you feel from the warmth of a hot stovetop element from across the room. When radiant heating is located in the floor, it is often called radiant floor heating or simply floor heating. The experts at Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning are here to help with all of your radiant heating needs!

Residential Heating Tips
Home heating systems are essential for maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures, especially during colder months. They come in various types, including furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, and electric heaters, catering to different preferences and home layouts. Furnaces and boilers distribute heat through ductwork or radiators, while heat pumps extract heat from the air or ground and transfer it indoors. Electric heaters provide localized heating and are ideal for smaller spaces. Modern heating systems prioritize energy efficiency, utilizing advanced technologies like variable-speed motors and programmable thermostats to optimize performance and reduce energy consumption. Proper maintenance and timely repairs ensure efficient operation and prolong the lifespan of these systems, contributing to a warm and cozy home environment.
How Does A Furnace Work?
- The inducer motor starts running.
- The burners ignite and burn natural gas or propane.
- The combustion chamber, also known as the burner, generates heat by combining air with a combustible material and an ignition source.
- The burner flames heat a metal heat exchanger, which is usually made of thin metal sheets or hollow metal tubing. The heat exchanger warms incoming cold air from the home’s ductwork as it passes over its surface.
- Exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, flow out of the flue and are vented outside.
- The furnace’s blower forces the heated air into the ductwork and distributes it throughout the home.
- Cold air from the home is drawn into the furnace through the return ducts, and the process repeats until the home is warmed to the desired temperature. At that point, the furnace stops producing heat and the fuel switches off.

Tips From The HVAC Professionals
Frequently Asked Questions
What Size Of HVAC System Should I have?
Contrary to what you may believe, there is no set parameter for sizing a system to the precise square footage of your home. Because homes are all built so differently, your home’s HVAC system will depend on its specific construction.
To determine the size HVAC system you need, you need to have a licensed HVAC professional from Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning evaluate your home. Our expert technicians will examine your home’s layout and make recommendations depending on your home’s individual needs. Many factors go into calculating the size of a furnace or air conditioning system your home needs. Factors include the size of your home, the number of windows in your home and which direction they face, elements surrounding your home, and expectations your family has for the comfort of your home.
With all of this information, Aspen One Hour can propose a range of energy-efficient options for perfectly heating and cooling your space all year long. Call us today for your appointment!
Can I Increase The Efficiency Of My HVAC System?
Increasing the efficiency of your home’s HVAC system can be relatively easy. Most importantly, be sure to change your filters regularly and with the Aspen Comfort Club membership, you have peace of mind knowing that your filters are replaced at your annual tune-ups! Also, make sure your thermostat is set at higher temperatures in the summer and lower temperatures in the winter. It doesn’t take the body long to adjust to incremental changes of 2-5 degrees, and these changes can save you a lot of money on your energy bills.
Lastly, you’ll want to make sure you keep blinds closed on windows that let in direct sunlight, or use curtains to shade your home while still letting in some light. Though natural light is something we all crave, keeping your blinds and curtains closed during the hottest days of the year, especially if you are not home, can drastically decrease the effort your AC system is required to make.
How Often Do I Need Maintenance On My System?
Regular maintenance on your HVAC system should be performed twice a year. The licensed professionals at Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning recommend having your system serviced in the spring before the weather heats up again, and in the fall before the weather cools down. If you’re a member of our Comfort Club, this is included in your pre-paid services along with many other services we offer.
Having regular maintenance performed on your system allows for a longer system life, higher efficiency, and proactive service to stop issues before they happen. Call us today at (517) 879-2049 to schedule your maintenance or to join our Comfort Club!
How Does A Ductless Heat Pump Work?
In older homes that either have boiler or baseboard heating, there may not have ductwork run throughout the home, making it difficult and costly to add a traditional central air conditioning system. Therefore, a ductless heat pump, sometimes called a mini-split air conditioner or a ductless air conditioner, is a cooling system that does not utilize ducts for moving treated air throughout the space. It takes warm air from one area and moving it to another. There is an outdoor compressor unit as well as air handling units indoors to allow the system to function.
The heat is transferred through the system. It goes through the cycle of evaporation and condensation. A refrigerant substance is used through a compressor pump to help achieve this cooled air. The system contains two heat exchange coils. One of those contains the necessary refrigerant material. The other works to evaporate it. This allows the refrigerant to absorb the heat from the area. This happens during the evaporation process. They work to maintain the specific temperature a person desires by using a thermostat to control the movement of the air between the coil systems. If you’re looking to upgrade your home’s comfort but don’t have ductwork, a heat pump can be an excellent option.

Why Is Indoor Air Quality Important And What Can I Do To Improve It?
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of the air within and around homes/buildings, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of the occupants. Good IAQ implies that the air is free from pollutants and contributes to a comfortable and safe living or working environment.
How Can I Improve My IAQ?
- Change air filters regularly
- Use air purifiers
- Ensure proper ventilation
- Control humidity levels
- Keep the living space clean and dust-free
How Often Should I Change My Filters?
Regular filter changes are vital for maintaining optimal performance. It is generally recommended to replace filters or clean reusable filters every one to three months. However, the frequency may vary based on factors like the type of filter, the level of usage, and the indoor air quality of your home.
Call Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning today to schedule your appointment to see how you can improve your air quality.
What Is The Lifespan Of An HVAC System And What Are Signs It May Need Replaced?

Regular maintenance can significantly extend the system’s lifespan and Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is here to help!
What Are Common Signs My System May Need Repair or Replacement?
