You never see prospective home buyers looking at the heating and air-conditioning equipment on television shows. They stop and gaze at the granite countertops and stainless steel kitchen appliances. The less glamorous home appliances – the heating and air-conditioning systems – are just as important as stainless steel, six burners and ice makers.
While your HVAC systems operate in the background to keep you comfortable they use energy. That means that your electric and/or gas bill could be higher than expected. Having your heating and air conditioning systems inspected and tuned up could save you money. Bent or clogged fins on the condenser coils and a thermostat that is out of calibration can create higher energy bills.
Beyond maintenance issues is the efficiency issue. It’s easy to see if a kitchen appliance needs to be replaced, or if you just want an upgrade to stainless steel. Your HVAC systems operate on efficiency rating. Do you know the SEER, EER and/or HSPF or AFUE on your heating and cooling systems? Do you know the age of your HVAC system? If your system is tens years or older, you are not only at the end of the average life span of a typical system, there are more efficient systems on the market that can save energy dollars. 18-20 SEER systems can save as much as 60% on heating/cooling utility bills compared to 10 SEER efficiency in ten years or older systems.
Give us a call or click the Contact Us button and schedule a seasonal tune-up for your new home HVAC system. Our technicians can verify the age of the system, check the operation and look for maintenance issues to keep your system running efficiently. We can also do a duct analysis to give an operating total system efficiency rating. Is your system operating at rated efficiency or is it operating at 50-60% efficiency as most systems are. We can improve efficiency which saves you, the homeowner, money.
