NEW TECHNOLOGY
The latest air conditioning systems are much more efficient that their predecessors. High technology 20 SEER systems are twice as efficient as 10 SEER systems from a few years ago, requiring only half the amount of energy expenditure to produce the same amount of cooling. Precision Air Conditioning can help with an energy assessment of your current heating and cooling set up.
HYBRID SAVINGS
Heat pump systems can both cool and heat, and can help you save even more if you currently only use a furnace or boiler for your heating needs. During the milder heating months, a heat pump is able to draw solar heat from the air meaning that the original source of the energy is the sun. In fact it effectively moves the heat rather than produces it, meaning it can be more than 100% efficient, and as high as 400% efficient. So for the amount of electricity put into the system, it can produce many times more heating energy.
EXPERT INSTALLATIONS
Professional installation from HVAC experts such as Precision Air Conditioning are necessary to realize the efficiency savings of a system. Each system has to be rated correctly, planned, positioned, matched with the correct air handler, have quality duct work, and have the correct refrigerant charge and airflow to gain the optimal efficiency.
PERIODIC TUNE-UPS
As with cars, your air conditioning benefits from regular maintenance checks to ensure reliability and energy efficiency.
DIGITAL PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTATS
Rated by the EPA as one of the simplest ways to save on your energy bills, a digital programmable thermostat upgrade can help with more efficient control of your system. For example if you're at work all day and the house is unoccupied, your system need not be left on so that the home is comfortable when you return - it can be programmed to come on later in the day.
HOME ZONING
Zoning your home into different zones means that different areas can have different temperatures and cooling requirements. This can not only mean more personalized home comfort, but it can also help save energy because unoccupied parts of the home can be set to use less cooling.
