Furnaces |

Heating and air conditioning systems are the
biggest users of energy in the home, up to 75% of the utility bill.
A new high efficiency furnace can save up to 50% in operating costs
over a ten year old furnace. Many 1990 and earlier model furnaces
have efficiencies of 65% or less. The minimum efficiency furnace
that can be sold in the United States today is 78%. Furnaces are
available that are up to 96.6% efficient.

Conditioners |
|
Air conditioners may look similar, but check the
SEER ratings. Higher SEER numbers save more money. A 13 SEER rated
air conditioner uses 23% less energy then a 10 SEER unit. 13 SEER
will be the minimum efficiency standard by 2006.

| Heat Pumps |
|
Heat pumps are rated in SEER (Seasonal Energy
Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor).
SEER and HSPF ratings are like Miles per Gallon rating of
automobiles. Higher SEER and HSPF ratings mean greater energy
savings.

| Fan Coils |
|
The fan coil is the indoor component of a heat pump
system. It includes the fan and the heating/cooling coil. The fan
coil is designed for a particular refrigerant, so it must match with
the heat pump. A variable speed fan coil can improve comfort with
improved humidity control and warmer heating temperatures, and save
energy in cooling.
