If you were to look at a pie chart, you would find that heating and cooling the average home probably runs up about 45% of your energy costs every year. Would you like to know how to reduce your costs while keeping your comfort level high?  1. Consider replacing an older HVAC system with a new ENERGY STAR qualified system. Look for a system that offers a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 20. You also want to look for heating equipment that has a very high fuel utilization efficiency rating. The combination could save your family up to 60% on your energy bill if you are replacing inefficient HVAC components. 2. Automate energy management. New designs of heating and cooling systems now come with communication technology which ensures that airflow and refrigerant levels within the HVAC system are always at peak performance levels. Automatic calibration ensures that the system is reliable, efficient and comfortable. The communication technology is convenient to use and makes it easier to tell when the system needs a tune-up. 3. Adjust the room temperature. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it in summer. It's amazing how comfortable you can become at 65 to 68° if you develop the habit of wearing thermal underwear and sweaters. And during the summer, 78° can actually be quite comfortable even if you're moving around a little bit, as long as you keep the air flowing through the home. Fans will keep the air moving, yet use far less electricity than an air conditioner. Programmable thermostats are a great way to adjust temperatures to where they're comfortable at the times that you really need comfort. For example, you can program your thermostat in the winter for a temperature of around 64 to 65° at night. Thermostat can be programmed to warm the home up to 68° to take some of the chill off before you rise out of bed. If you've chosen the right thermostat, you can adjust the temperature back down for the hours that you will be away from home, the program the temperature to return to 68° by the time you're back home. 4. Reduce HVAC Costs by Proper Maintenance.
