admin — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:23:09 +0000

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you are thinking about a new heating and cooling system for your home. Since a new heating and cooling system is a big investment, you want to make sure you don’t replace an adequate system (or even one that needs its share of repairs) without good reason.
Here are some of the signs that may mean it’s time to replace your old heating and cooling system:
• Your utility bills are on the rise: Monthly energy savings from a new system will mean more money in your pocket long term and potential federal tax credits (if you act quickly) that help recover your costs sooner than you think.
• Your system is old: Boilers and furnaces 15 years old or older are highly inefficient compared with today’s newest technology. The same is true of heat pumps or air conditioners greater than 10 years old. Replacing aging furnaces and air conditioners can save energy and money (some will also qualify for manufacturers and utility company rebates).
• You’ve endured breakdowns or frequent repairs: It may not be worth the money or inconvenience to keep having it fixed.
• Your A/C or heater is noisy: New systems have made vast improvements in this area.
• Your undependable heating and cooling system is a liability: If you’re thinking of selling your home. In today’s sellers market most prospective buyers don’t want an old inefficient and unreliable heating and cooling system in their new home.
• Your HVAC system hasn’t been inspected lately: It may have undetected safety issues, such as hidden carbon monoxide leaks.
• Certain rooms in the house are always too warm or too chilly: Consider upgrading to an energy-efficient multi-stage to help keep your home more comfortable year round.
• Your system just doesn’t keep your home comfortable anymore. There are multiple options available in today’s modern furnaces that didn’t exist when your current furnace and air conditioner was installed.

How Heat Pumps Work

admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:17:17 +0000

A heat pump looks and functions like an air conditioner in the summer and removes the heat from your home to the outside. It has one major difference in the winter. It reverses the cycle and takes any heat from the outdoors and brings it into the home. Heating your home with a heat pump is more cost effective than any gas furnace; however a heat pump cannot keep up when the outside temperature gets below 32, so a gas or electric furnace will be needed to supplement the heat pump. Many local utility companies also offer rebates for installing a heat pump in your home.

Homeowner Tips

Today’s furnaces and air conditioners are complex machines but there are still a few things you can do to keep them running at their peak. Change your filters regularly; keeping a clean filter keeps your furnace running as efficient as possible by maintaining proper airflow.

Keep trees and bushes clear around your air conditioner. There should be at least one foot of clearance around the outdoor unit to maintain airflow to the air conditioner. This will allow the air conditioner to maintain performance and efficiency.
