Home efficiency and air quality are of utmost importance when installing a new heating and cooling system. Technology has come a long way and there are many options for your HVAC system.
Edmonton is known for it’s harsh winters complete with frigid temperatures and dumps of snow! You want to have a heating system you can trust won’t break down in the dead of winter, and since our homes require so much heat in the winter, one that runs efficiently in order to save energy and lower energy bills.
Furnaces & Duct Work:
A new high-efficiency furnace will save you money and keep you cozy all winter long. New high-efficiency furnaces can be up to 98 percent efficient and are incredibly reliable. They run quietly, some models can be controlled by your smart phone or tablet and all come with a warranty. Contact one of Edmonton’s Best Furnace & Air Conditioner Companies and they will show you the different options that come with their heating systems.
If you are not looking for a completely new furnace, have a professional come inspect your furnace and duct work. Even having your furnace and duct work inspected and cleaned can improve efficiency, air quality and ensure your system is working safely.
Ducts that go too long without maintenance can start to collect dust, pet hair and even mold contaminants that can cause illness and is especially harmful for those with asthma, allergies or other respiratory problems. It is recommended that you have your heating and cooling system checked and cleaned by an Edmonton Duct Cleaning Company at least once every two years.
Air Conditioners:
A central air conditioning system can make your home into an oasis away from the heat during the hot summer months. Cooling systems can be very energy efficient. For example, the very popular Lennox Elite Series XC14 has efficiency ratings of up to 16.20 SEER which can save you hundreds of dollars each year compared to an older, standard air conditioner. When shopping for an air conditioner, look for the Energy Star qualification, ask about its efficiency and performance and about warranties on the unit and it’s specific parts.
A Heating and Air Conditioning Contractor can show you a wide selection of air conditioners, explain how they work, their efficiencies and help you pick out the best system for your needs and budget.
Thermostats
