The Comforts of Home can model your present (or for new construction) Heat load calculations. We then model upgrades that will reduce the heat load to the lowest possible level.  Then we design a Solar powered ASHP hydronic low temperature heating system, as well as ventilation, that will give you clean, fresh air all the time.  These are very reliable and very cost effective methods even in Alaska's cold climate.  They bring the cost of heating and hot water down by eliminating fossil fuel and using solar to replace it for 7-9 months per year.  It's all in the design!

We have 4 seasons in which we need some heat almost every day.  For winter months we can design solar stored heat, that can supply low temperature heating either through radiant flooring or LTE's (Low Temperature Emitters).  These are products like the Jaga radiators and the Chiltrix radiators.   We can design systems using the Sanden or Chiltrix ASHP's and running glycol from the outdoor units to Buffer Tanks inside.  This can supply the heating (or cooling in areas that get into the 90's in summer, or commercial space) through High Wall Heads typically found on ASHP's.  The difference is the supply from the buffer tank does not need to be refrigerant.  The heat transfer has been accomplished from the outdoor unit to the buffer tank.  That is the only place you need refrigerants.  the length of Line sets on ASHP systems is limited anyway and if you get a leak, they are very expensive to repair especially in remote areas.

We are analyzing the long term risks in our designed, planning the new system with these risks in mind and designing for low maintenance long term.
