Everyone wants to be comfortable but at what price? Typically, 50% of your home energy costs are consumed keeping your family warm in the winter and cool in the summer. With that in mind, upgrading to a High Efficiency Heating and Cooling System can pay off not just with increased comfort, but with big savings on your monthly bills. A system just 10 years old probably has a SEER (efficiency) rating of 10 or less and that was when it was new! Today’s systems begin at 13 SEER and the most popular systems are 15 SEER or higher. Upgrading to higher efficiency can often lead to energy savings that offset the cost of the new system!

While savings are something everyone wants more of, lets remember why we have a Heating and Cooling System in the first place; Comfort! Older systems only have 2 speeds; On or Off. This is like having a car that can only stop or go 100 miles per hour! Modern systems offer features like dual stage compressors, which allow the system to run like a smaller system most of the time and then switch to a larger capacity when needed. Variable speed blowers, which allow the system to run at a steady pace rather than cycling on and off, keep you much more comfortable while increasing efficiency.

When choosing a new system, be sure to discuss these options with your HVAC provider. Finally, make sure your provider performs a load calculation on your home as part of their evaluation. This process takes into account many parameters that influence the size of the system necessary to keep your home comfortable. Research shows that many homes currently have an incorrectly sized system. By replacing with the correctly sized system you stand to gain both efficiency and comfort.
