You depend on your HVAC system to keep the interior of your Lorain home comfortably warm or cool. Certain kinds of upgrades can help your system work more efficiently, resulting in lower energy bills and reduced energy usage. Consider these HVAC upgrades when you look into making changes to your current system.
New Equipment
When you have outdated or worn heating and cooling equipment, investing in brand-new equipment is a smart move. New heating and cooling systems, including furnaces and central air conditioning systems, have more energy-efficient designs compared to older HVAC systems. When you replace an older HVAC system with a newer one, your home will be using less energy for heating and cooling, resulting in lower energy bills throughout the year.
Air Ducts
Older air ducts can affect your HVAC system’s efficiency. If you have ductwork that is worn or deteriorated, more heated or cooled air can escape from it. These air leaks force your HVAC system to run longer in order to keep your home as cool or as warm as needed. Replacing older ductwork with new ductwork helps ensure that your HVAC system is able to run as efficiently as possible.
Smart Thermostat
Thermostat settings can have an impact on your energy usage. Lowering or raising the setting on your thermostat can save you money on your energy bills. However, you have to remember to do this regularly in order to get this benefit. Smart thermostats make it easy to get energy savings without having to manually adjust your settings. These thermostats are able to raise or lower your settings as needed at different times. You can program them to do so, but they can also learn when to adjust your settings and how much to adjust them by based on your daily activities.
