Energy Savings on HVAC systems

Your air conditioning  system uses up the most electricity in your home. Therefore, if your existing system is out of warranty and past its design life, you might want to consider replacing it now. There are many things to consider when making this decision.

MONEY/COST The amount you would pay for a new system now, would decrease your electricity consumption, meaning a decrease in your electricity bills. So it really pays for itself.
However, that can only be true with careful consideration of the next two topics;

BRAND There are many brands of equipment out there. Some are cheaper than others, and when I say cheap, I am not only meaning in price. You want a system that is going to give you years of comfort and no hassles. American Standard HVAC equipment is a well-known name here in Texas because its made here in Texas. The standard warranty on  registered products is 20 years on the heat exchanger, 10 years one the compressor, 10 years on the coil, and 5 years on all functional parts.

SEER RATINGS If you have not had your equipment changed is the past 10-15 years, you may be running on a 8 or 10 seer system. The higher the seer rating , the greater the efficiency. The minimum requirement on new HVAC installations is now 13 seer, however there are also 14, 15, 16, and 20 seer systems available.
The advantage of choosing the 16 seer match would not also be seen on your light bill, but also on your IRS refund check. That's right,, you can get a $500 tax credit on your 2011 return if you have a a 16 seer 13 eer system installed in your home.

SERVICE PROVIDER A system is only as good as the company that installed it. Choose carefully when making that decision because you want a reputable company that is licensed by the Texas department of Licensing and Regulation and every one of there  service technicians should be registered wit the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Choose a company that does background checks and drug screening on all there technicians, with a zero tolerance drug policy. Search the BBB for companies that are A rated and also try AngiesList.com to locate a contractor that has an a rating, and read the  reports other consumers have posted on there experiences with that company.You want a company that is going to answer the phone when you need them, and come out when you need them.
