Save Money with Right HVAC Unit

Who doesn’t love saving money? As one of the most critical and expensive components of household living, your HVAC system is also a place where you can save money if you make a few smart moves.

Is Bigger Better?

Because it will struggle to heat or cool your home, an inadequate HVAC unit can drive up cost. Conversely, a unit that is too large will constantly cycle on and off. This is hard on the unit as well as being inefficient. We recommend that, based on your square footage, you don’t go more than:

• 15% over your recommended BTU for air conditioning.

• 40% over your recommended BTUs for heating.

• 25% over your recommended combined BTUs for a heat pump.

The Right System

HVAC systems usually consist of a separate furnace and air conditioner, or a heat pump, which combines the two. A heat pump might be your only option if your home is all-electric. Lots of folks with available natural gas or propane still choose heat pumps because of their one-unit simplicity. Heat pumps may cost more per month to run since electricity is usually more expensive than other fuels. It can be even more expensive and inefficient to run a heat pump if you live in climate zones extreme winter or summer temperatures.

Manage That Thermostat

Keeping a consistent temperature throughout the year can bring big savings. For example, you can create 3% savings for every degree over 72 that you set your air conditioner. A smart thermostat can allow you to manage temperature from anywhere and set up automatic settings that are highly efficient.No matter what you buy, or what you already own, we also offer a Planned Maintenance Agreement (PMA) to keep your HVAC system running at peak efficiency.
