Eco HVAC

The most effective way to heat your home is to replace your furnace with a newer, more efficient furnace. Modern high-efficiency furnaces could save you 25% on your energy bills, which means the expense of purchasing a new furnace should pay for itself fairly quickly. Just as you can set your thermostat to a higher temperature for greater efficiency in the summer, lowering the temperature on your thermostat for at least a portion of the day can save you money on your energy bill in the winter. Just like in the summer, avoid blocking your vents to ensure that heat is evenly distributed throughout the house. Save energy by closing vents in rooms that you rarely use. While it may seem counter-intuitive, ceiling fans can help heat your home in the winter.Therefore, install ceiling fans for improved energy efficiency in both the summer and winter. Finally, annual furnace maintenance will ensure that your furnace is running smoothly and efficiently and catch any potential issues.

Not necessarily. It is important to purchase an air conditioner that is the right size for your home. If you buy an HVAC unit that’s too big, it will cool your home faster, but it will also be less efficient and will not eliminate humidity well enough. It will have short-run cycles. While it will cool the air quickly, it will shut off before it blows enough air across the indoor coil to drain water from your system. This will leave too much moisture in the air, which can lead to mold and mildew in your home. Your system starting and stopping more often may cause it to use more energy and wear down faster. Longer run cycles are more efficient.
