Did you know almost half of your energy expenses come from heating and cooling your home? Air conditioners are one of the biggest energy consumers in the country and make up nearly half of your energy expenses. Investing in energy efficient AC units may be your best choice to lower costs while staying cool this summer.
Following are five ways you will benefit from upgrading to a more energy efficient HVAC system.
1. Lower energy bills
The number one reason many choose to upgrade their HVAC systems is lowering energy costs. After the initial investment of upgrading your system, you will steadily watch your energy bills go down.
2. Reduced carbon footprint
In addition to lowering costs, there is growing concern about environmental impact and creating more sustainable lifestyles. You can reduce your use of fossil fuels by adjusting the temperature in your home. Adjusting your thermostat by just a few degrees in either direction will significantly impact the amount of energy you use. A temperature change can also affect your comfort. Choosing energy efficient AC units means lowering the amount of fossil fuels you use while keeping your home at the most comfortable temperature for you and your family.
3. Save on maintenance and repairs
New systems are easy to maintain and require fewer service visits. They don’t experience near the amount of stress put on traditional HVAC systems. Less stress means a lower probability of system issues.
4 Accurate climate control
Another benefit to energy efficient AC units is the ability to program smart thermostats. Don’t waste energy cooling the areas of your home you don’t use. You can program your thermostat to raise the temperature while you are away, then return to your preferred settings before you get home.
New systems also allow for HVAC zoning. Zoning allows you to divert energy away from spaces you don’t use or create custom temperature levels among different rooms in your home. Say goodbye to that one super hot or super cold bedroom and hello to more even and affordable comfort.
5. Quiet equipment
More efficient systems are specifically designed for reduced noise paired with optimal function. Many of our customers don’t even notice when their system is running. There are many equipment options to consider when upgrading your HVAC system, and almost every option available is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible.
