LOGAN Heating and Cooling Provides an Array of HVAC Systems to Meet Your Specific Needs
Living within central North Carolina, means that you face all types of weather. Anything from ice storms to a sizzling summer to a perfect fall or really wet spring day. However, many HVAC systems aren’t up for this type of demand. The temperature swing, humidity, and neither do they have the ratings to perform under these circumstances.
Various HVAC Systems for Winston-Salem and Greensboro Areas
Boilers:
A boiler is a highly reliable heating system that provides steady, even warmth throughout your home. Instead of using forced air like a furnace, a boiler heats water and circulates it through pipes to radiators, baseboards, or radiant floor systems. This method delivers consistent heat without the drafts or dry air that can come with other systems, making your home feel more comfortable during the coldest months.
Homeowners choose boilers for their long lifespan, efficiency, and quiet operation. They’re an excellent option if you want steady, energy-efficient heating with less maintenance than many other systems. Boilers also give you flexibility—working with a variety of fuels such as natural gas, oil, propane, or electricity—so you can choose what’s best for your home and budget. If comfort, reliability, and energy savings are top priorities, a boiler is a great investment. Plus, boilers are known for longevity and will typically last several more years than a traditional system.
Geothermal:
If you’re looking into a geothermal HVAC system, congratulations. You’re truly looking for one of the most efficient energy sources to heat and cool your home. Here at LOGAN Heating and Cooling, we provide geothermal installations and repairs. However, if you’re thinking about installing a geothermal HVAC system, call LOGAN. You will want to speak with an expert, so give us a call. Our comfort specialist can walk you through the process, which includes:
- Analysis of your home and/or building plans and location for loop installation. We’ll talk to you about the number of hours that you need to heat and cool your home properly. Plus, the size of the system that you want, and the fuel cost.
- Loop installation and the LOGAN HVAC team will determine whether or not you need a vertical or horizontal position based on your the location of your home and layout of your property.
- Connecting the geothermal loop to your home unit. Once installation is properly in the ground, then the LOGAN team will connect the pumping unit. This connects to the actual outdoor geothermal pipping loop.
- Installing the air handling unit. Once everything from the outdoors has been carefully installed, then installation of the indoor air handling unit happens. This unit consists of an air blower, and is what forces the warm or cool air throughout your home.
- Applying the liquid solution to the buried loop piping.
- Getting economical heat and air to your home and enjoying it!
Geothermal HVAC systems aren’t for everyone. However, they are one of the most efficient ways to heat or cool your home. LOGAN Heating and Cooling can provide the knowledge, installation, and education on how to operate a geothermal system. It may be the perfect choice for your home or business.
Heat Pumps:
Heat pumps are a great way to heat and cool your home here within the Winston-Salem and Greensboro areas. While a few years back, our area was sort of right on the bubble on whether a not a heat pump could heat a home in the winter. In fact, we often would recommend having an additional backup heat source. However, today’s heat pumps are super-efficient, and they can keep a home warm down to -10 degrees. While some of our service areas still can fall within that recommendation, the majority of our customers will stay comfortable all year long.
You may be wondering what changed to make such a drastic difference. Well, new variable speed motors are basically the change. Today’s heat pumps can run more consistently and avoid drastic temperature changes. Plus, the new variable speed motors cycle on gently and run super quiet. However, if you’re looking for energy efficiency and to save money on your utility bills, a heat pump should fit that bill. In fact, most heat pump models can save you up to 30 to 40%. That percentage equates to approximately $1,000/year according to the department of energy. If you’re interested in speaking with a comfort specialist regarding a new heat pump, feel free to give LOGAN a call. We’re happy to give you a new quote, install, or even make a repair to your existing heat pump. Finally, we offer energy-efficient heat pumps with SEER ratings up to 22.
Mini-split Ductless HVAC Systems:
While extremely popular within other regions and countries, mini-split ductless HVAC systems have been growing in demand over the past decade or so here in the southeast. The air handler in a ductless system is typically installed on a wall or within the ceiling. This system provides the convenience and efficiency of central air conditioning but without the ductwork. The ductless feature is great for some of our older historic homes here in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and surrounding areas.
When a house doesn’t have an existing ductwork system to distribute conditioned air or heat, it can be expensive and problematic to install a conventional central air conditioning system. In the past, homeowners would have to make do with portable room air conditioners or deal with the difficulty and expense of trying to conceal newly installed ductwork.
Furthermore, a ductless unit is a great option for homeowners who are retrofitting their home or building an addition. Unlike conventional forced-air systems that rely on a network of ducts and a large, centrally located air handler, a ductless system includes smaller air handlers that are permanently mounted on the wall or ceiling. Each air handler is supplied with electricity, a refrigerant line connected to an outdoor compressor, and a condensate drain line.
Temperature Control At Your Fingertips
Mini-splits typically have a remote as well as console controls and blows conditioned air into the room. Depending on its size, a single exterior compressor unit can supply one or more room-size air handlers, and each air handler can be controlled independently. Most mini-split systems are designed as a heating and cooling system.

Packaged HVAC Units:
Many homes here within the Winston-Salem and Greensboro areas warrant the use of a packaged unit. A packaged unit is an HVAC system that is basically an “all in one” system that provides both the cooling and heating within one unit. The actual unit can be installed either at ground level or on a roof top, which is great for commercial applications. Given that packed units include everything in one cabinet, multiple configurations are available as in the term “packaged” and the most common are:
- Packaged Gas and Electric HVAC System
- Packaged Duel Fuel HVAC System
- Packaged Heat Pump Technology System
The benefits of owning a packaged HVAC system are many but think about space being the biggest factor. Second, they are energy efficient. Many people question this due to the size of the unit, but these bundled systems do pack an energy efficient punch to your utility bills. Maintenance is much easier as well given that all of the components are in one central location.
