A few lifestyle changes can mean saving hundreds on a household's heating and cooling bill. Homeowners can make small energy-efficient upgrades which add up over time. Even the smallest of changes can contribute to a more efficient home.
Unless a homeowner's HVAC system breaks down, most ignore it. Don't shorten the life of your HVAC system by neglecting to perform regular maintenance on it. Homeowners can do their part by regularly checking air filters. Additionally, homeowners should establish a regular maintenance schedule with their service contractor to protect their investment.
Homeowners often go long periods of time without upgrading their HVAC systems. When they do, they are surprised at the costs. Soaring interest rates from home improvement store credit cards deter them from making the purchase. Local contractors that offer appealing financing alternatives, however, minimize the fear of such a large investment. In fact, low monthly payments ensure a homeowner reaps the savings of an energy efficient system rather than settling for a cheaper unit that would end up costing more in the long run. Financing benefits both parties by broadening the contractor's consumer base and enabling homeowners to replace their energy wasters with high-efficiency equipment.
A top-rated and high-efficient HVAC system is crucial to maintaining a productive, healthy, and comfortable work environment. Since these systems account for a substantial amount of energy use in commercial facilities, energy-saving equipment can reap more energy bill savings and increase the life expectancy of a unit. For those that are unsure about what steps to take before installing a new heating and air conditioning system, it all comes down to the building's specific heating and cooling needs.
When looking to buy a new air conditioner, shoppers may need further clarification on the yellow Energy Guide label. While the ratings are there for the consumers' benefit, ironically, they can be confusing to understand without a comprehensive explanation. An Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) is one type of efficiency rating for cooling systems.

It is completely normal for your furnace to turn on and off; that is how your furnace regulates your home's temperature. In fact, an average furnace cycles on and off anywhere between three to six times per hour. The real problem starts when your furnace turns on and off very quickly. When your system is constantly starting and stopping, it is a symptom of a system issue. But before you panic and replace your entire system, here are a few common reasons why your furnace may be short cycling.
