How to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient TIP # 4


Replace old equipment with ENERGY STAR® products
            Since the early 1990's the ENERGY STAR® label has been used to advise consumers of the 10-40% savings in energy costs over federal standards.  When the time does come to purchase new heating or cooling equipment then be sure to look for the ENERGY STAR® label.  The advances in technology of these HVAC units will not only improve your comfort in the home but the impact they will have on your utility payments will be significant.  This label has been adopted by many other countries such as Australia, Canada, and Japan among others as a best practice in offering consumers a better more informed shopping experience.  Take a look at the Air Conditioners and the Furnaces we offer.  Our staff would be glad to go over any questions you may get.  The opportunity to save money on your energy bill go far beyond the HVAC system.  Dishwasher, Washer & Dryer, even light bulbs can carry the ENERGY STAR logo.  Keep an eye out for that logo whenever you are shopping for an energy related item and grab hold of the savings.
