Energy consumption through your HVAC system represents a significant portion of nationwide energy usage. According to the Department of Energy, the HVAC system is responsible for about 40-45% of a typical energy bill. Energy efficiency is beneficial for both home and business owners as well as the planet.

The “green” approach may require higher initial costs; however, the savings over the course of time make it a valuable investment. According to the National Institute of Building Science, installing a high-performance HVAC system in conjunction with an energy-efficient building design can result in a 30% reduction in annual energy costs, meaning your initial investment can pay itself off in approximately 3-5 years.

Energy Saving Tips:

Regularly change your air filters

This will reduce strain on your system while also improving airflow, enhancing indoor air quality, and helping prevent dust, allergens, and pollutants from circulating in your home. Don’t let a dirty filter compromise your comfort – schedule regular replacements (performed during maintenance) and breathe easier all year long.

Regularly perform system maintenance

By cleaning and inspecting key components, our professional maintenance ensures your system is not underperforming or being over-strained. Schedule maintenance today and experience the All Four Seasons difference.

Upgrade to a Programmable or Smart Thermostat

This will allow for automated temperature adjustments based on your schedule, preventing unnecessary heating or cooling. Control your thermostat with your smartphone from anywhere in the world.

Use ceiling fans

Ceiling fans help circulate air, allowing you to set your thermostat a few degrees higher in summer and lower in winter without sacrificing comfort.

Install a whole house fan

Whole house fans draw in cool outdoor air through open windows and exhaust hot indoor air through the attic, offering a natural and highly efficient way to cool your home – especially in the evenings. They reduce the need for air conditioning and significantly cut down on cooling costs.
Keep vents and registers clear – Blocked bents can disrupt airflow, forcing your system to work harder. Keep furniture and curtains away from vents.

Upgrade to an energy-efficient system

If your HVAC units are at least 10 years old, consider upgrading to a higher-efficiency system with a high SEER rating. Today’s units are not just more efficient, they are a lot quieter. We can also install gas-electric hybrid split systems so that you can choose and swap between electric and gas heating. Premium options include variable speed motors that pair excellently with zoning.
