ENERGY EFFICIENT HVAC
Energy saving HVAC can save you money
How can upgrading your old HVAC unit help save you money? Many homes today have old worn out units that require maintenance or replacements. To the untrained eye or ear, an HVAC unit might sound and look good from the outside, but many times the problem lies from the inside the unit or your air ducts. Due to years of wear and tear, many parts internally start to malfunction and the HVAC unit’s lack of performance can gradually increase your energy bill. By updating or replacing your old unit to an energy efficient air conditioning system, you can see boosts of energy savings of up to 50% on the AC usage. This is based on a high efficiency system of 18 or 20 SEER(seasonal efficiency energy ratings).
