Summer can be a tough time when it comes to energy costs. Hot days lead to large air conditioning energy bills that can be painfully expensive. If this summer seemed to cost you even more than usual when it came to keeping your home cool, it may be time to invest in a new HVAC system. But before you invest in a new system, it may be worth your while to have an energy analysis performed on your HVAC.
What to Expect in an Energy Analysis
Many quality HVAC service contractors offer an energy analysis to help gauge the performance of your HVAC system. This evaluation is especially valuable on older systems that may be costing you a small fortune extra in energy costs over newer, more efficient models. Some of the factors that many contractors will check in an analysis include:
- Energy output and consumption
- Air quality in the home
- Air and temperature distribution
- Inspection of equipment
- Inspection for safety issues
Once the analysis is done, the contractor can recommend solutions for decreasing energy use and increasing efficiency. In many cases the HVAC system is still in good condition but just needs maintenance or maybe the addition of an automated thermostat to improve efficiency. In other cases, it may be worth the investment into a newer model that offers a much higher level of energy efficiency, paying for the new system in a matter of a year or two.
If you are tired of paying too much for your energy bill to cool and heat your home, call your local HVAC contractor to schedule an energy analysis and inspection of your HVAC system. It could make a big difference in your monthly energy bills.
