Heating

Heating is the single largest household energy expense, accounting for up to almost 50 percent of annual energy bills in Ontario. In fact, the average Canadian household spends more than $1,500 a year on energy bills.

With just a couple degrees of change — whether it’s simply changing your system’s filter or installing new equipment — you can save energy, save money and help save the Earth.

Four Steps to Saving Energy…..

Homeowners can improve their heating equipment efficiency by taking one or more of the following steps:

1. Get a Check-up By a Qualified Contractor.

The only way to ensure the optimal performance of an air conditioning or heat pump system is to make sure it is installed correctly and then maintain it properly. A system that is not installed or maintained properly will result in reduced efficiency, less humidity control, and deliver less comfort. Have one of our certified HVAC technician do the check-up.

FACT: Efficiency is more than the rating on the equipment. If a heating and cooling system is not properly sized, matched and installed, it could be up to 50 percent less efficient than its performance rating.

2. Upgrade Equipment.

One of the fastest ways to reduce your energy bills is to replace old equipment. A new system is a “green” system because it will use less energy, especially if it is installed correctly. Well before energy prices skyrocketed, heating and cooling equipment manufacturers were making highly efficient systems for homes. With the breadth of “green” product choices available today, consumers can easily make the right investment for their budgets.

3. Install a Programmable Thermostat and Use It Properly.

Using a programmable thermostat properly can save about $180 a year on home energy bills. By adjusting the temperature merely two degrees, homeowners can save about 10 percent on energy bills, without sacrificing their comfort.

FACT: Majority of Canadian homes do not have programmable thermostats.

4. Change Filter.

Replacing your system’s filter once every one to two months is one of the easiest ways to reduce your home’s energy costs. A dirty filter can greatly reduce a system’s efficiency by causing it to work harder to draw in air.
FACT: Energy cost savings can be 10 times the initial filter cost for a standard pleated filter and four to five times the initial filter cost for higher efficiency final filters. This means filters can pay for themselves by helping to maintain the system’s optimal efficiency.
