Follow Our Simple Energy Tips
• Clean and replace filters monthly or as needed
• Allow your exhaust fans to only run for a maximum of 20 minutes
• Replace exhaust fans with high-efficiency, low-noise models
• Open shades during colder months to allow the sunlight to enter your
home, then close them at night to reduce the chill from cold windows
• Keep window coverings closed during the warmer months to prevent
solar gain
• For furnaces, look for high Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings.
• The national minimum is 78% AFUE, but many ENERGY STAR® models
exceed 90% AFUE
• For air conditioners, look for a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER)
• The current minimum is 14 SEER for central air conditioners. All ENERGY
STAR models are 14-20 SEER
Answers to Some Common Questions You Might Have
？↠ Is there a way to reduce the allergens in my home?
？↠ I need to replace my air conditioner, but my furnace works just fine. Is it true they need to be replaced at the same time?
？↠ How much will my new home comfort system cost?
- For people who suffer from allergies, American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning recommends the AccuClean™ whole-home air filtration system. It can clean up to an astonishing 99.98 percent of allergens from the filtered air that your family breathes.
- With AccuClean™, the majority of irritating particles like dust, pollen, pet hair and dander, dust mites, mildew, lint, fungus, most tobacco smoke, cooking grease, and even bacteria, will be removed from the filtered air. In fact, AccuClean™ removes 100 times more allergens than the standard 1-inch throwaway filters that come with most systems.
- Think of your air conditioner and furnace as part of a total system. That system will work better, longer, and more efficiently if all of its components are matched in capacity and efficiency. By the same token, a mismatched system, one that mixes old technology with new, could decrease system performance and overall comfort.
- For example, your new air conditioner will be capable of reaching a certain SEER efficiency rating. Because SEER is determined by a complete system combination, if your existing furnace and indoor coil are older or don’t match in efficiency and capacity, you might not get the efficiency level you paid for or be able to receive accurate information on what your rating actually is. Plus, an older indoor coil may even be dirty and clogged with particles, meaning more energy will be required to push air through the system.
- That depends because there are many factors that must be considered. Here are some of the factors needed to properly give you an estimate:
- The efficiency of the equipment wanted
- The size of your home
- Is the ductwork in good condition?
- Do you need a thermostat?
- Replacing your whole system, including both indoor and outdoor components, will result in a more efficient, longer-lasting system.
