Amana – Air Conditioning
Amana Corporation was founded in 1934 and is now owned by Goodman Manufacturing Company, having acquired it in 1997. The Amana brand is well known for providing a quality product and is focused on providing stellar customer service to its clients.
Type of Air Conditioning
The Amana ASX13 is a basic air conditioner with a relatively low SEER of 13. It uses choline-free R-410A refrigerant. It also features insulation to decrease escaping operating noises.
It uses a Copeland® ComfortAlert system for monitoring the environment and making changes as necessary
These air conditioners operate at 16 SEER efficiency. That is, 16% of the energy fed into the units manifests directly as cooling in the building to which they are attached.
This model includes a switch for high or low pressure, along with a fan that can operate at high or low speeds. The two-stage system increases energy efficiency because the device is not required to operate at full power on days that aren’t all that hot.
These models are the top of the line for Amana. They have SEERs of 18 and all of the same features of the above versions. In addition, they come with ambient temperature sensors.
These units are designed to be particularly quiet. They have insulation on multiple levels that dampen the typically loud noises associated with air conditioners.
Owens Corning – Expanding Blown-In Insulation System
Based in Toledo, Ohio; Owens Corning develops, manufactures and markets fiberglass insulation, roofs and composites. Global reach and human scale; they develop products and systems that help save energy and improve comfort in commercial and residential buildings.
Owens Corning – Expanding Blown-In Insulation System a fiberfill product and a manufacturing process that is efficient and versatile. Owens Corning loose non-adhering filler insulation provides industry-leading thermal performance and performance when applied in open attic insulation applications. When blowing behind the net through blowing machines, the loose-fill fiberglass product naturally closes to help avoid air leakage spaces in the building envelope. The product is used in new and existing constructions
Owens Corning loose fiberglass insulation from Owens Corning is manufactured under three trade names:
- AttiCat® expanded blow insulation and its associated blowing machine, which can be used by the professional remodeler or DIY customer.
- The ProCat™ Blow Insulation System product and machine line is designed for use by smaller contractors and PROPINK®L77 PINK Fiberglas™
The AttiCat Expanding Blown-In Insulation Machine
The AttiCat Expanding Blown-In Insulation Machine conditions the AttiCat Expanding Blown-In PINK FIBERGLAS Insulation by breaking it up and fluffing it. Insulation releases and expands completely inside the machine. As the insulation bounces its way up to your attic, it is further conditioned through the length of the hose, breaking it up and fluffing it, creating millions of tiny air pockets that give the material its insulating power.
Expanding Blown-In Insulation is:
- Easy clean-up because the machine does the work
- Low-dust system
- No Settling,
- High-Value Retention
- AttiCat™ Expanding Blown-In PINK FIBERGLAS™ insulation will not settle
- Keeps its energy-saving R-value over time
- Safe and Reliable
AttiCat™ Expanding Blown-In PINK FIBERGLAS™ Insulation is non-combustible and meets all building codes for non-combustibility; Non-corrosive; Doesn’t require fire-retardant chemicals which can leach out; Doesn’t support mold growth. Inorganic glass fibers do not support fungus or mold growth. Will, not rot or decay.
