888.630.9224Because AAA Heating & Air Conditioning cares about helping our customers save money and improve the environment, we wanted to help you make sense of the ENERGY STAR® program and what it means for your heating or cooling system. This is Part 1 of a 9 part series on the subject that will be published every Thursday.
Did you know that the average household spends more than $2200 a year on energy bills? And almost half of that is going towards your heating and cooling costs! The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has created the ENERGY STAR program to help consumers make smart decisions about their heating and air conditioning systems that will help save energy costs, improve overall comfort at home, and help fight global warming.
Here’s another shocking fact for you: The energy used in the average house is responsible for twice as many greenhouse gas emissions as the average car.
You CAN make an impact to bring down the amount of greenhouse gas emissions your household creates. You might consider making a change if any of the following statements apply to you:
- Some of your rooms are too hot or cold.
- Your home has humidity problems, excessive dust, or rooms that never seem to get comfortable.
- Your equipment needs frequent repairs and your energy bills are going up.
- Your heating and cooling equipment is more than 10 years old.
- You leave your thermostat set at one constant temperature.
Stay tuned for upcoming articles about changes you can make to save your family money, increase your comfort, and do your part to help the environment.
