Value of Our Installation
The North Carolina Alternative Energy Corporation, a non-profit organization, examined air conditioning manufacturers' published efficiencies versus the actual efficiencies that resulted after installation; they found the following.
90% of the units tested exhibited some sort of energy-waisting, comfort-robbing problem!
Other signifigant HVAC industry comfort and energy related surveys reveal.
Duct Leakage (93%)
· Poor indoor air quality
· Health & safety concerns
· Drafts and uneven temperatures
· May DOUBLE hvac portion of the energy bill
Oversizing (47%)
· Doesn't run enough to wring out moisture
· Air in sunlit and shaded rooms does not mix
· Equipment typically noisier
· Shorted equipment life
Incorrect Refrigerant Charge (54%)
· Increased failure rate
· Reduced moisture removal
· Equipment ypically noisier
· Uneven temperatures
· Could add as much as 17% to operating costs
Incorrect Air Flow (70%)
· Uneven temperatures
· Poor moisture control
· Noisy grilles and registers
· Could add as much as 10% to operating costs
At Midwest Mechanical You Will be in the Top 10%

Value of a Custom Design
A proper heat load calculation is the key to customizing your comfort solution. There is absolutely no other way to ensure your family's comfort, health, and safety. Other experts agree:
Energy Star
A good contractor will not
· Size your equipment solely on square footage
· Assume your existing equipment was properly sized
Department of Energy
· It is the contractor's job to perform the correct sizing calculation for the home
Problems Caused By Incorrect Sizing
Oversized (shorter run times)
· Higher installation costs
· More breakdowns
· Larger temperature swings
· Improper humidity control
Undersized (longer run times)
· Constantly running
· Higher energy costs
· Shorter life
· Reduced comfort
