Why should I choose an ENERGY STAR product for my home?
Whether you live in a warm or cold region, you’re probably feeling the pinch of high utility bills. An ENERGY STAR® qualified comfort system can help you cut energy costs and save hundreds of dollars every year.
ENERGY STAR is a U.S. government- sponsored program that helps businesses and homeowners save energy and protect the environment by giving them the information they need to make smart choices about efficiency. A key component of this program is the ENERGY STAR label, excellence in energy-efficient performance.
SAVINGS:
One of the strongest reasons for choosing an ENERGY STAR-labeled product over a conventional model is that it can deliver significant savings. An ENERGY STAR furnace can reduce your heating costs by as much as 40%, and an ENERGY STAR air conditioner can save you up to 50% on your cooling bills.
Proper sizing and installation of equipment is critical to achieve optimal performance. Split system air conditioners and heat pumps must be matched with appropriate coil components to meet ENERGY STAR® criteria. Ask your dealer for details or visit www.energystar.gov.
Given that average household heating and cooling costs amount to about $600 a year (nearly half of your home’s total energy bill), it makes sense to choose a higher-efficiency system.
EXTRA CREDIT:
If you install a new ENERGY STAR heating or cooling system, you may quality for a federal tax credit of up to $500. You may also be eligible for utility rebates in your area.
CLEANER GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT:
By creating a more efficient home environment, you are contributing to a cleaner global environment. According to the EPA, if just one in ten households installed ENERGY STAR heating and cooling products, the change would keep more than 17 billion pounds of pollution out of the air.
MORE COMFORTABLE HOME ENVIRONMENT:
Advanced technologies that improve energy efficiency also enhance your comfort, so you can enjoy more even temperatures, better humidity control and a constant flow of warm air. Our high-efficiency home comfort systems are designed with the finest features available, so you get the best of all worlds.
