Energy Tips

HEATING AND COOLING

Your heating and cooling system is the biggest energy guzzler in your home, gobbling up to 45% of your total energy costs every year. It’s always wise to have our heating and cooling professionals analyze your system, but here’s a way you can quickly determine how energy-wise it is. If your system is older than 10 years, it’s needlessly eating up your energy dollars. New systems are at least 20 to 30% more efficient than older systems. If it’s not time to replace your home’s comfort system there are interim ways to trim energy use. First of all regular maintenance is key to getting the best performance you can, regardless of your system’s age. And if we haven’t already installed a programmable thermostat for you, call us to do so. It can save you at least $100 a year in energy dollars.
