Summer is rapidly approaching in the Chicago area, and for many homeowners that means increased energy costs. If you’re worried about the cost of keeping cool this summer, consider these strategies to keep your energy bills from going up with the temperature:
Programmable thermostats can be an integral part of a smart energy-saving strategy in your home. Instead of functioning as a simple on/off switch for heating and cooling your home, programmable thermostats provide a more comfortable and consistent climate, and can help reduce utility bills significantly.
Time for a new water heater? Size and price are the most common factors people use to judge water heaters. But here’s one you might not normally think about – the energy factor. What is it, and how can it help you purchase a new water heater? Simply put, the energy factor (EF) measures how much hot water is produced by each unit of fuel used on an average day by your water heater.
The heating season is about over and if you limped through the winter with a failing furnace, spring is a good time to start looking around for a replacement. Like many other seasonal products, you might find better pricing and installation costs by waiting until demand for HVAC services slows because the milder weather means fewer equipment breakdowns. Spring and fall are typically slow seasons in the HVAC industry. Manufacturers may want to lower their inventory of unsold furnaces, while pricing new furnaces attractively for dealers.
