Energy
Tips:
Lower
Fuel
Savings
!!
|
|
New vs.
Old |
-
Fuel and
utility
bills
across
the
country
are at
the
highest
they
have
ever
been
before.
There is
no
relief
in
sight,
which is
why we
are
giving
you
some
advice
on how
to save
on cost
|
-
If your
present
heating
and air
conditioning
system
(15
years or
older)
is still
in
working
order,
from an
economic
point of
view, it
would be
wise to
replace
the
systems.
|
-
Comparing
the
operational
cost of
the new
verses
old, a
savings
of up to
40% can
be
achieved.
Most
furnaces
installed
prior to
1985 had
efficiency
ratings
of 60%.
The
efficiency
ratings
of new
equipment,
are now
over
90%. It
is very
simple
arithmetic
to
determine
the
annual
savings.
|
-
The air
conditioning
systems
have
virtually
the same
principle.
The
units
installed
before
1985 had
a
Seasonal
Energy
Efficiency
Rating
(SEER)
of 6 or
below.
The
lowest
rating
of the
equipment
today is
a 10
SEER.
Air
conditioning
units
are
available
up to a
15 SEER.
If the
older
equipment
is
replaced
with a
10 SEER
model,
savings
on
operational
costs of
up to
40%
could be
achieved.
|
-
If your
budget
allows,
also
installing
an air
cleaner
and
humidifier
can help
the
systems
of today
operate
more
efficiently,
as well
as
helping
allergy
sufferers.
