HEAT & COOL EFFICIENTLY

As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So making smart decisions about your home's heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills and your comfort. Take these steps to increase the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.

MAINTAIN EFFICIENCY BY:

• Changing your air filter regularly
  Check your filter every month, especially during heavy use months (winter and summer).
• Having your HVAC equipment checked annually
  Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly preventive maintenance of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort by up to 10%.

INCREASE EFFICIENCY OPTIONS:

• Programmable thermostat
  A programmable thermostat is ideal for people who are away from home during set periods of time throughout the week.
• Sealing heating and cooling ducts
  Sealing and insulating ducts can improve efficiency of your heating and cooling system by as much as 20% percent - and sometimes more.
• Outdoor temperature reset control
  Technology will modulate the heating system temperature depending on the outdoor air temperature. The higher the outdoor air temperature, the lower the water temperature equating to lower energy consumption and increased comfort.
• Radiant heat
  Radiant heat warms the objects in the room, not the air. Thermostats can be lowered as much as 4 degrees without sacrificing comfort levels. These lower operating temperatures can reduce fuel consumption up to 30 percent.
• Hybrid Heat/Dual Fuel Heat Pump
  Hybrid heat provides more control over your monthly energy bills by allowing you to choose the most economical method of heating. As temperatures change, the system automatically switches between the heat pump and heating system to maintain the greatest efficiency, rather than a single-source heating system. The added benefit is air conditioning in the summer!
• Humidification
  A humidifier connected to your heating system creates more moisture, meaning you'll feel warmer with lower, energy-saving indoor temperatures.
• Solar
  The sun can heat your hot water even in New England. Harvesting the sun's energy is basically FREE after the initial investment!
• Geothermal
  Using the earth to heat, cool and provide hot water to your home rather an fossil fuels.
• When replacing equipment install ENERGY STAR qualified heating and cooling equipment
  If your HVAC equipment is more than 10 years old or not keeping your home comfortable, you should have it looked at by a professional. Installed correctly, these high-efficiency heating and cooling units can save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs.
