If you are getting a new gas furnace for your Phoenix-area home, it's important that you work with people who know what they are doing and aren't looking to sell you something you don't need to make more money. The majority of furnace contractors say they run load calculations, but rarely do they recommend a smaller unit for fear of undersizing the system. A bigger heating unit is more expensive to purchase, operate, and maintain. At Ideal Energy, we understand how a building works as a system, and can precisely calculate the size of heating system your home needs.

Many homes throughout the Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona areas lack adequate insulation. In our hot climate, home insulation is very important for keeping home cooling costs down. When insulation isn't evenly installed or it fails, it can cause high energy bills, drafts, large indoor temperature swings, and uneven temperatures around your home. If you have uncomfortably warm or cold rooms, upgrading your home insulation may provide a solution. Cellulose insulation is a great way to cut home energy bills and boost comfort.

Yes, the name heat pump might make you think these are heating devices, but actually, heat pumps are good for AC, cooling, and heating as well-in fact, they're really good! Not only are energy efficient AC heat pumps more affordable to run than central air conditioning, but they feature both cooling and heating settings that offer a year-round home comfort solution.

Your heating and cooling system is an integral component of your home's well-being. With the change in seasons comes different spaces conditioning needs. During the colder months of the year, you simply cannot afford to have a defective or broken heating system. A large amount of your total home energy use is for heating and cooling. A heating system that doesn't work can really drain your pocketbook! If you heating system isn't operating properly, it can consume more energy to compensate, leaving you with a less comfortable home and higher cooling bills.

At Ideal Energy, we understand the importance of a reliable and energy efficient home cooling system installed by a high quality HVAC contractor.

Many Phoenix, Arizona homes have insulation that has been damaged by water, perhaps from roof leaks or AC drain pan overflows. If your home has insulation that has been damaged by moisture, fire, rodents, or merely old age, it's best to get the insulation removed before installing new cellulose or fiberglass insulation on the top. Although most Phoenix homeowners rarely think of their insulation, removing old insulation is often the first step towards greater energy efficiency. The Ideal Energy team is skilled in insulation removal and other home weatherization projects.

Did you know that most traditional pool pumps waste a lot of electricity? Our customers are saving several hundred dollars each year in energy costs after upgrading to a variable-speed pool pump. Pool pumps circulate water through the filter to clean and purify it, and typically run each day for many hours. Swimming pools have at least one pump and some have several. Because these pumps run so much, you can save several hundred dollars each year by having Ideal Energy install a variable-speed pool pump.

Many Phoenix homeowners want greater home safety and comfort at the touch of a button. Ideal Energy makes this happen with home automation, whole house ventilation systems, smart thermostats, and energy-saving pool pumps. Ideal Energy can merge your lifestyle and the latest technologies to make life easier. Home automation gives you control of your HVAC system, lighting, appliances, and security system from a central programmable hub or your wireless devices. Smart thermostats let you customize comfort settings from your laptop or smartphone.

Almost every heating and cooling system needs ductwork to carry the conditioned air to your home. Ductwork is typically either made of flexible tubing or made of sheet metal. In Arizona, more often than not, a home's duct system is located in the attic space where temperatures reach up to 140 degress in the summer. If there are leaks in your supply ducts, 10%-40% of conditioned air is potentially leaking into either your attic, walls, or in between your floors. This means that for one, your home is not receiving the adequate amount of cooling; making you set your thermostat to a lower temperature, which uses more energy, and in the long run- costs more money.

Until recently, the concept of home automation systems were unknown to most people. Smart homes are growing in popularity because they let you control comfort, lighting, security, and even home appliances with the touch of a button. This offers peace of mind and greater safety for Phoenix homeowners. Home automation creates a central hub for these systems and is accessible from a smartphone app, tablet, or laptop computer. This allows homeowners to do things remotely, like unlock the door for a friend or close the garage door.

Did you know that a quarter of the energy consumed in Arizona homes is for cooling? Many Phoenix, Arizona homeowners are stunned to learn that homes of a similar size may consume far less energy than their own, especially for heating and cooling. Home energy consumption and comfort in Arizona is often largely dependent on how well insulated a home is. Many of today's new homes, however, are poorly or insufficiently insulated. A home that is mostly insulated can have a significant impact on indoor comfort throughout the year.
