It seems that rising energy costs are becoming the new norm, making energy efficiency top of mind for many homeowners.

Since your old HVAC system can account for up to 60% of your energy bill, it makes sense that your home comfort system would be the first place to look when looking to improve efficiency.

On our blog, we’re always discussing ways to help you save. From filters to programmable thermostats, you can see a difference in your monthly energy bill. However, the most impactful thing you can do to increase your energy savings is to upgrade your furnace and air conditioning to a high efficiency system.

People purchase properties and houses as investments, and your heating and cooling systems are no different. The higher the system’s efficiency, the greater the payback.

The initial cost may seem large, but there are flexible financial options you can use to create lower monthly payments. These payments can also be offset by the decrease in price of your monthly energy bills. Just think about the developments in technology over the past 20 years. We barely had the Internet 20 years ago and some people’s heating and cooling systems are older than that.

Lennox, one of our manufacturers, even offers an Energy Savings Calculator. It uses national averages to calculate total savings you can receive over a 5, 10 or 15 year period. They also have settings to check for your heating system and cooling system separately.

Try out Lennox’s Energy Savings Calculator yourself to find out what your home’s savings could be:

Once again, these savings are based on averages, so depending on your settings and home size; your savings could increase beyond these projections.
