HVAC Energy Efficiency

- Learn how to save money and save our world.

As indicated at www.energystar.gov, up to half of your monthly energy bill is typically for air conditioning and heating. That means that the decisions you make regarding your HVAC equipment will have a substantial affect on your pocket book.

There are things you can do as a homeowner to your existing system that can help you save:

Change your air filter on a regular basis

Install a programmable thermostat for precise control over heating and cooling

Ensure that your ductwork is properly sealed

Have your HVAC system tuned by a local Anaheim air conditioning contractor

Additionally, if your HVAC system is old, installing a new, high efficiency setup will make a huge difference. When you are looking at new equipment, we recommend not just installing one component. If you read our Air Conditioning Tips page you'll see how many components work together to keep you comfortable. With this in mind, replacing an air conditioner but keeping an old evaporator coil can hurt the performance of the new AC unit.

Efficient Heating and Cooling

Green Solutions Really Do Matter

Technology makes life easier for humans, but it can also hurt the life of our planet. The new rave is "Green" and it isn't a fad that will go away. More and more people are realizing that if they want their grandchildren to have a planet to live on, they need to help change the way we all live.

The Hit Of HVAC

A home HVAC system is responsible for up to 50% of the total monthly utility bill for a family. Hair dryers, stoves, play stations and computers all fall short of the energy drain of a home cooling system.

What You Can Do

New solutions are advancing that make it possible for homeowners to really make a difference. Geothermal and Solar Voltaic are leading the way in efficient power, air conditioning and heating. If you can't swallow the initial investment of a geothermal or solar solution, don't worry. Modern HVAC systems are operating more efficiently than ever before. From higher SEER ratings to variable speed fans to ventilators that exchange stale air without losing energy - many options exist to you as a homeowner that will save you money, and help preserve energy resources.

Empower Your Contractor

When an Anaheim HVAC contractor steps into your home for HVAC repair or maintenance, what is their goal? To give you the best price and service? That's a good goal. To do their job correctly in the least expensive way possible? Maybe not the best plan. "But I need to save money and wasn't counting on this repair!" We know. We're homeowners too.

You need to empower your local contractor to suggest newer, more efficient solutions for you. Often they are beat down by customers who just want the cheapest solution. You can demand a great price, but don't make them take the cheapest route to resolve your needs. That will end up costing you more anyway. Take baby steps - a new programmable thermostat can actually save you a lot of money by allowing precise temperature control. Going that route instead of purchasing a cheap thermostat is a Green Choice. One decision at a time leads the way to a better tomorrow.

"My wife and I had a hybrid system installed for our home since fuel prices are pretty high in our area. The dealer we used didn't install it correctly, and for an entire year we didn't benefit at all from the extra expense we paid for hybrid heating.

I talked to the Get More Comfortable team, and they recommended a new thermostat that would handle my existing system. I ordered it, had it installed, and now for the first time we are truly saving money with our home heating system. I highly recommend them!"
