Energy Efficiency

The average household spends more than $2,000 a year on energy bills — nearly half of which goes to heating and cooling. If your customer's central air conditioning unit is more than 10 years old, replacing it with a more energy efficient (14 SEER and above) or ENERGY STAR qualified model could cut their cooling costs by 30 percent. Additionally, properly using a programmable thermostat in the home is one of the easiest ways to save energy and money. Homeowners can save about $180 a year by properly setting their programmable thermostats and maintaining those settings.

Questions to ask the Homeowner

Do you feel like your electric bills are too high? Homeowners may be able to save a significant amount on their electric bills by having a programmable thermostat or new, high SEER or ENERGY STAR qualified heating and cooling system

Is the house too hot or too cold when you return home? Homeowners often adjust the thermostat when they are going to be away for an extended period of time, but hate coming home to an uncomfortable house.

Is your air conditioning unit or heat pump more than 10-years old? Replacing an old heating and cooling system with a new, high SEER or ENERGY STAR qualified system helps save energy and money.

Has it been more than a year since you had your heating and cooling system cleaned and inspected? A regular service plan can provide preventative maintenance, can insure against unexpected equipment failures, and can help keep the homeowner's sytem running at maximum efficiency - saving them money on energy, extending the life of the equipment and keeping a healthy home.
