Answer: Cold-Plus™ , Power Sentri™-RA , Blue UV Light Technology (cleans/disinfects the air and is wonderful for allergy sufferers), and also ducting cleaning (in Florida only).
Question: Will Cold-Plus™ void a manufacturer's warranty?
Answer: No. In 1975, the U. S. Congress passed the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a federal law governing consumer product warranties. It affects both the rights of consumers and the obligations of warrantors underwritten warranties, and concerning Cold-Plus™ means that the manufacturer of your home air conditioner is not permitted to void the warranty because of aftermarket use of an additive manufactured by someone other than the equipment manufacturer. Unless the Federal Trade Commission accepts a waiver stating that the warranted item will only function properly with a named product. This Act applied to residential instances only.
Commercially, a manufacturer may choose to void the warranty, so warranties concerning commercial transactions should be thoroughly checked out before Cold-Plus™ injections take place.
Question: Is there a warranty?
Answer: Yes.
- A 1 year limited warranty from the date of the Cold-Plus™ treatment to include the replacement parts and labor for any failure of a compressor less than 8 years old.
- A 90 day limited warranty from the date of Cold-Plus™ treatment to include the replacement parts and labor for any failure of a compressor 8 years and older.
Question: How often do I need a Cold-Plus™ treatment?
Answer: Once treated with Cold-Plus™ , you're AC/Refrigeration/Chiller will never need another treatment. It is a one-time application that lasts the life of the compressor.
Question: My local Air Conditioning Company is not familiar with Cold-Plus™ .
Answer: Cold-Plus™ has been marketed first in Florida as that is where it was invented. It has been proven to be safe and effective and is new to the HVAC and Refrigeration marketplace.
Question: Who performs the Cold-Plus™ injection/maintenance?
Answer: Cold-Plus™ must be installed by a licensed HVAC-R professional. Prior to the Cold- running as efficiently as possible based on the age and condition of the unit.
Question: How much reduction will there be in my energy/utility bill?
Answer: Variables such as age of the compressor and how well maintained it's been may affect the degree of savings, but you shou ld definitely see an overall reduction in kilowatt usage, and therefore cost savings.
Question: What makes Cold-Plus™ different from other products on the market that make claims close to those of Cold-Plus™ ?
Answer: Most products with similar claims are PROA's (Polarized Refrigerant Oil Additives). Unlike those products, Cold-Plus™ is a “treatment”. It is a refrigerant enhancer, compressor treatment, and system cleaner that is unique to the other products currently on the market.
Question: Ultimately, what benefits will I see from the use of Cold-Plus™ ?
Answer: Your system should operate more smoothly, efficiently, and quietly; more moisture will be pulled from the home/commercial establishment, causing a cooler effect; the compressor will run shorter cycles, you should see less repairs, and you should see the life expectancy of your compressor increase.
Question: What is Power Sentri™ ?
Answer: Power Sentri™ is a line of energy-saving products for commercial and residential heating systems, central air conditioning systems, and commercial refrigeration.
Question: How does Power Sentri™ work?
Answer: For cooling systems, Power Sentri™ analyzes the load, or demand, by monitoring how the pre-existing controls (a thermostat or presurretrol) are cycling the compressor. The on-time to off-time ratios, and how these ratios are changing, indicate the load. Power Sentri™ intercedes and changes the way the compressor is cycled, resulting in a more efficient use of the electrical energy needed to provide the same amount of cooling.
For heating systems, Power Sentri™ analyzes the system's load, or demand, by monitoring the out-flow water temperature. The absolute temperature value of this water and the rate that the temperature is changing is indicative of the load. Power Sentri™ intercedes and changes the way the burner is cycled, resulting in a more efficient use of the fuel needed to provide the same amount of heating.
Question: What are the typical cost savings experienced by utilizing Power Sentri™ ?
Answer: Energy Efficient Technologies guarantees a minimum annual reduction of 10% of your cooling and heating energy usage. Many customers experience additional savings up to 30%.
Question: Has the performance of Power Sentri™ been validated?
Answer: Power Sentri™ has been tested by leading energy companies and experts, including KeySpan, Con Ed Solutions, Brookhaven National Laboratory, ETL/Inchcape and others. Power Sentri™ is listed by Underwriters Laboratories as Energy Management Equipment.
Question: Will Power Sentri™ void my manufacturer's warranty?
Answer: No. Power Sentri™ will not affect your warranty and will actually reduce the normal wear and tear on your equipment. In addition, the air conditioning and refrigeration energy management devices (EM devices) include an anti-short-cycle function (for compressor protection) as one of their features.
Question: Is it difficult to install a Power Sentri™ unit?
Answer: No. Installation of a Power Sentri™ product should be completed by a qualified professional. Typical installation times may vary depending on model and application, but are usually 15-90 minutes.
Question: Where can I buy Power Sentri™ ?
Answer: Contact Energy Efficient Technologies at 1-866-461-8524.
Question: What if I don't see a reduction in my cooling and/or heating costs?
Answer: Energy Efficient Technologies guarantees a minimum annual reduction of 10% of your cooling and heating energy usage. Power Sentri™ units come with a money-back performance guarantee.
Question: What other “Green” products does Energy Efficient Technologies sell?
Answer: EET sells Blue-Tube UV light technology, for both residential and commercial. This product is ideal for homeowners and office workers who suffer from allergies and need all the benefits they can get from optimum indoor air quality.
Question: What are the sources of indoor air contamination, particularly in residential?
Answer: There are three sources of indoor air contamination that exist in residential indoor air: particulate, biological, and chemical and odor molecule contamination.
Question: How does Blue Tube UV Light Technology disinfect?
Answer: UV technology combines the sterilization and oxidation power into a unified filter. As organic contaminants come into view of the ultraviolet light source, the UV light waves penetrate the membrane and nucleus of microorganisms. The UV light then breaks apart the molecular bonds of the DNA of the microorganism killing the microbe or inhibiting its' ability to reproduce. The amount of UV exposure needed to accomplish this varies from microbe to microbe. Spores, and some environmental bacteria, such as mold and mildew, tend to be resistant and can survive much longer exposures than some viruses and other organic contaminants such as odors.
Question: How does Blue Tube UV Light work in Central Air Handlers”
Answer: There are two schools of thought on the use of UV Light for control of environmental contaminants in a central air handling system. They are: air-stream disinfection and surface disinfection.
Air-Stream disinfection entails targeting the UV Light in the air-stream at a point in the system that allows for sufficient exposure time for adequate exposure to the airborne pathogens. In commercial applications, more than one UV light unit maybe required to achieve adequate exposure time, and there are many places in commercial systems that allow the room to install multiple units, such as the mixing box between the filter bank and coils. However, in residential applications, this may not be practical due to small ductwork and limited access, and the installation of a single or dual lamp unit may not provide suffice UV exposure. In reality, control of airborne pathogens in residential applications is not as crucial as in a commercial application such as a hospital or doctors office.
Question: So what would be most practical for UV Light protection in residential settings?
Answer: Surface disinfection tends to be a more practical method for typical air handler applications and is the popular application method at present. It is well known that in most cases the contamination of the air handler system stems from the infiltration and growth of organic contaminants in and around the coiling and drain pans of the system, which then grow and spread the contamination down the ductwork and into the living spaces. The use of high quality filters can help reduce the opportunity for growth. However, strict filter change regimens must be followed or the filters can become clogged causing system damage or allowing contaminates to “cross-over” to the damp components of the air handler where they can flourish.
