Why is HVAC the #1 Source of your Household's Energy Usage?

Upgrading To An Energy-Efficient Carrier® Value Goes Beyond Savings

Cooking a dinner, using a computer, watching TV, heating/cooling a house -- all these household activities require energy. But according to Energy Star, a federal program that promotes energy efficiency, about half of what the average household spends on energy bills goes toward heating and cooling. Upgrading you old HVAC unit to an energy-efficient Carrier system can cut utility costs by about 20% (or $200 annually on average). 

PAY ATTENTION OT EFFICIENCY RATINGS

To earn an Energy Star rating, furnaces must be more efficient than standard units, with annual fuel utilization efficiency ratings, or AFUE, of 85% for oil furnaces and 90% for gas furnaces. Upgrading to an Carrier HYBRID HEAT dual fuel system is a more energy-efficient variation of the traditional heating and cooling split system because it allows greater control over which fuel is used for heating. The inclusion of a heat pump allows the option of electricity-fueled heating and cooling, in addition to gas furnace heat. 

Most homes have split systems made up of an outdoor condenser and compressor that are connected to an indoor air handler that's part of the furnace. Split systems must have a SEER rating of at least 16 and an ERR rating of at least 13.  The higher the rating, the more energy efficient the unit.
