Your home's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is vital for maintaining comfort and maximizing indoor air quality. Before you know it, summer heat will be here -- the Philadelphia and Bucks County region has already experienced temperatures in the seventies! And while you enjoy the warm weather this summer, the last thing you want to deal with is HVAC issues in your home. That's why you should plan ahead to avoid discomfort, stress, and expenses later.
Here are a few ways to ensure that you and your family stay cool and save on energy this summer.
HVAC Considerations Heading Into Summer
Schedule your AC cleaning and safety inspection
A good first step is to schedule your annual AC tune-up with your local HVAC contractor. Our experienced technicians will perform a comprehensive tune-up that consists of cleaning the unit from the inside out, checking that everything is running safely and properly, and making sure your system is running as efficiently as possible. A clean system won't have to work as hard to run, meaning you'll feel more comfortable and save money at the same time.
Save upfront by choosing high-efficiency equipment
With the Inflation Reduction Act, tax credits, and rebates, you can earn incentives when installing or replacing an HVAC system. The benefits of energy-efficient air conditioning systems include reduced energy use, consistent and accurate temperature control, and overall increased comfort levels for your home. Our Comfort Specialists can assess your home and your family's needs to find the best energy-efficient air conditioner that will start paying for itself as soon as you turn it on.
Automatic energy savings everyday
If it’s not time to replace your HVAC equipment and you've made sure to schedule your tune-up, you can also make your current system work smarter for you. Ask your technician about a smart thermostat or wi-fi thermostat to increase energy efficiency (and make your life easier!) With easy-to-use scheduling and occupancy-sensing features, these thermostats can automate your energy savings 365 days a year.
Heat and cool efficiently with heat pumps
The latest advancements in the HVAC world are happening with cold-climate heat pumps, such as the Mitsubishi Electric Hyper-Heat heat pump. These all-in-one systems fulfill cooling, heating, and humidity control needs for your home, and they do so with high efficiency while delivering year-round comfort. With both ducted, ductless, and combination options, heat pumps are a flexible solution for any home. They even come in compact, side-discharge units that are perfect for homes in the city or those with limited outdoor space. Many heat pumps also qualify for electric energy-efficiency rebates and tax credits as mentioned above.
