Conserve Energy Without Sacrificing Comfort

Zoning

Installing a zone controlled system in your residential or commercial property helps keep temperatures at a comfortable level on a room to room basis. Essentially, zoning is dividing your home or business into areas or zones with common heating or cooling requirements. Each zone is then controlled by its own thermostat. Only the zones needing heating or cooling will get it, while the zones which are already comfortable do not. This helps to eliminate any hot or cold pockets your space may have.

A zone controlled system will work with any forced air heating and cooling system to improve the comfort level throughout your home or business. It also helps to increase the energy efficiency of your HVAC system and provides convenient, programmable thermostats in each room or zone.

Programmable Thermostats

Programmable thermostats are ideal for people who are consistently away from home for long periods at a time during the week. You can preset the heat or air conditioning to work more when you are home and less while you are away or asleep. When used properly the pre-programmed feature can help save on energy costs anywhere between 5% and 15% each year.

Regularly Change Air Filters

Check your HVAC filters monthly during peak cooling and heating seasons. A dirty filter slows down air flow and makes your HVAC system work harder. New filters cost only a few dollars, whereas dirty filters will cost you more in the long run because they overwork the system resulting in lower indoor air quality. Clean filters prevent dust and dirt from infiltrating the system. When dust gets in it can lead to expensive maintenance or early system decline.

Tune-Up Maintenance

Preventative maintenance and tune-ups are the best ways to lengthen the life of your HVAC system and keep it running at peak performance and maximum efficiency. The fact is, even a new Energy Star qualified HVAC system will decline in performance without regular maintenance. Affordable Comfort provides regular maintenance services and tune-ups before each cooling and heating season (and anytime you need us in-between). With a minimal cost for yearly maintenance, we will make sure your system is running smoothly so it lasts you longer and helps you conserve energy.
