If you’re planning to buy a new heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system in the near future, you should consider choosing an energy-efficient model.
All HVAC systems consume electricity, natural gas and/or propane during operation. Some, however, consume less than others.
By choosing an energy-efficient HVAC system such as this, you’ll experience the following benefits.
#1) Saves Money on Heating and Cooling
You’ll save money on your home’s heating and cooling expenses with an energy-efficient HVAC system.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), for instance, upgrading a 10-year air conditioner with a newer and more energy-efficient air conditioner can result in 20% to 40% lower cooling costs.
Energy-efficient HVAC systems are designed to consume less energy, so they’ll save you money on heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
#2) Quieter Operation
Energy-efficient HVAC systems are typically quieter than their energy-hungry counterparts. You won’t hear a loud or obnoxious noise while it runs.
Rather, energy-efficient HVAC systems run quietly in the background. Furthermore, many of them are designed with acoustic-dampening materials that absorb sound vibrations, resulting in an even quieter level of operation.
#3) Better for the Environment
Of course, there are also environmental benefits associated with energy-efficient HVAC systems.
It will reduce your carbon footprint, which in turn makes the world a cleaner place. So, if you’re trying to go green in your home, consider switching to an energy-efficient HVAC system.
#4) Tax Rebates
Not only will it save you money on your home’s heating and cooling expenses, but purchasing an energy-efficient HVAC system could make you eligible for a tax rebate.
The federal government offers tax rebates for homeowners and builders who purchase energy-efficient HVAC systems. For an eligible central air conditioning unit, for example, you’ll receive a tax credit of up to $300. To learn more about the available tax rebates, click here.
