I never used to think very much about my heating and cooling system.
It was just something that was an integral part of our house. It was important, sure, but it wasn’t ever anything that I ever lost any sleep over. Certainly, having a high efficiency air conditioning system and a high efficiency furnace was never a top priority for me or for my husband. But then I happened to read this article about how important HVAC is when it comes to having a more comfortable, healthier, and more energy efficient house. I found out that half of the household energy consumption in most people’s homes, mine included, is spent on none other than heating and cooling costs. When you’re spending almost fifty percent of your household energy consumption on heating and cooling, then you better make sure that you have a really good HVAC system. I was surprised to find out that for most people, lighting only accounts for ten percent of your energy use in your home, while the water heating costs make up about fifteen percent. Both of those things put together don’t add up to what it costs to pay for heating and air conditioning in your house. So I guess the smartest thing to do, for most people, anyway, is to make sure that you have a top of the line, high efficiency air conditioner and a high efficiency furnace installed in your home. If you’re like me and it’s not something that you already have in your home, then you should look into getting another type of HVAC system that will help you save money on heating and air conditioning!
