If your furnace has a metal flue pipe about $.30 cents of every dollar you spend to heat your home, never enters your home. Our furnaces are 92% - 95% efficient, which means only about $.06 cents is wasted. New heaters and air conditioners use much less gas and electricity! You can reduce your utility bills by up to 40%! When comparing estimates it is important to note the (afue), afue indicates annual fuel utilization, which is a measurement of how efficiently the fuel is used in the furnace. The higher the afue the more efficient the furnace is, which lowers the cost of your gas bill.

Always use a qualified C-20 contractor or technician to install and service your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. Also, be sure that your contractor applies for and receives a final inspection on your HVAC installation permits. Under the October 2005 Title 24 California Building Code provisions, some new HVAC systems installed in established climate zones may be subject to mandatory duct sealing requirements. A licensed C20 contractor can help determine if your system falls under this code requirement.

Did you know that that a very thin layer of dirt on your indoor evaporator coil can reduce the efficiency of your air conditioner by 20%? If your air conditioner is low on refrigerant it can run twice as long as it would if it were properly charged. An under charged unit can double utility bills and shorten the life of your system. Installation of restrictive filters reduces airflow and efficiency. Many pleated type filters cause a high static pressure thereby reducing the effectiveness of your system.

Proper maintenance of a heating and air conditioning systems is essential to prolong the life of the system and achieve maximum efficiency. 80% of system failures are due to lack of maintenance.

If dirt is allowed to build up on the fins it can substantially reduce a condensers ability to discharge the heat it removes from your home.

The ducts that are part of central heating and cooling systems offer one of the best opportunities to increase your energy efficiency, increase your comfort, and manage your energy bills.

Properly sized, installed, and sealed ductwork will make your heating and cooling systems significantly more efficient.
