Many families receive a sizable tax refund each year that they can use to invest in improving their homes. One great investment to make with that extra money is to update your heating and cooling system to save you money all year round on your energy bill. What better way to get the most out of your refund then to use it to make your home more efficient and comfortable for years to come?
Energy efficient heating and cooling systems can make a large difference in your utility bills each month. As much as 50% of energy bills go toward keeping your home at an even, comfortable temperature. If your system is 10 years old or older, you could save up to 30% on your annual heating and cooling costs by replacing your HVAC system with a new energy efficient system. Over the years, the new system can almost pay for itself! In addition to ongoing savings, there are several other reasons to look at upgrading your HVAC system:
- If you struggle to keep your home at a comfortable temperature, a new energy efficient system can solve many of these problems. Having a trained professional evaluate your home and recommend the best system for your needs can make a huge difference in how comfortable your home stays in both the winter and summer months.
- New efficient HVAC systems can lower your carbon footprint. New technology has made many of the newer models healthier for the environment and can reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted.
- A new system can also add to the value of your home when it comes time to sell. Many people are looking for homes that have energy efficiency when they are in the market to buy.
What better way to use your tax refund then to invest it back into your home and see a return on that investment for years to come!
