Understanding Efficiency & Operating Cost:
Like many other appliances, the cost of your
indoor comfort system includes not only its initial price, but also the ongoing
costs of operation and maintenance. This means that the cooling and heating
equipment and controls that you select today will continue to impact your
finances for as long as you live in your home. That's why investing in a high
efficiency comfort system makes sense.
A Wise Investment
Your heating and air conditioning typically
account for more than 70% of your home's annual energy costs. In effect, your
indoor comfort system is the only part of your home that can actually pay for
itself while also providing the added benefits of increased comfort and quieter
operation.
The Impact of SEER Rating on Energy Costs
For every $100 you spend to cool your home
using a 10 SEER system, you would spend considerably less using a system of 13
SEER of higher. For example, if your annual cooling costs were $1,000 with a 10
SEER system, they could be reduced to $710 with a 13 SEER system.
Other Energy Efficiency Factors
Although the efficiency of your cooling and
heating equipment will have the greatest impact on your energy usage, other
factors will also help reduce energy costs.
- Maintain Proper Humidity
When cooling during the warm humid months, you will feel more comfortable at
a higher temperature if the humidity level in your home is kept between 40 and
60%. This will reduce the load on your equipment and can save 10 to 15% in
cooling costs.
- Condition Only Occupied Rooms
Zoning or Programmable Thermostats can control your equipment
according to your familys lifestyle and daily occupancy schedule. This
allows you to eliminate the wasted energy of conditioning areas in your home
that are unused or unoccupied.
- Keep Equipment Clean
Regularly scheduled professional
maintenance is also crucial to maintaining your systems maximum
efficiency. Keeping your equipment clean by using an Electronic or Mechanical
Air Cleaner will help maintain your systems optimum performance
too.
