TUNING YOUR HVAC UNIT
Keeping your heating and air conditioning units running in proper order is very important. For the best life of your equipment, a proactive approach is best. Always service your unit prior to the coming season. In the spring, service your air conditioner and in the fall, service your heater. Tuning your HVAC unit on a regular basis will keep costs down on future costly repairs and the possible need for replacement before its life expectancy. It will also keep your tech in tune with your equipment so he will better understand how to trouble shoot in the case of interuptions with unit efficiency. Having a yearly servicing to your HVAC unit could save you thousands of dollars! We provide service contracts so you won't forget that it is time to have it done again each year. Call today to create an annual scheduled servicing
YOUR AIR DISTRIBUTION
Your air ducts are one of the most important systems in your home, and if the ducts are poorly sealed or insulated they are likely contributing to higher energy bills.
Your home's duct system is a branching network of tubes in the walls, floors, and ceilings; it carries the air from your home's furnace and central air conditioner to each room. Ducts are made of sheet metal, fiberglass, or other materials.
Ducts that leak heated air into unheated spaces can add hundreds of dollars a year to your heating and cooling bills. Insulating ducts in unconditioned spaces is usually very cost-effective. If the supply ducts are leaking, heated or cooled air can be forced out of unsealed joints and lost. In addition, unconditioned air can be drawn into return ducts through unsealed joints. Call today to have your ducts checked, insulated and/or sealed properly.
YOUR PROGRAMABLE THERMOSTAT
You can save as much as 10% a year on heating and cooling by simply turning your thermostat back 7°-10°F for 8 hours a day from its normal setting. (If you have a heat pump, don't do this without a programmable thermostat). You can do this automatically by using a programmable thermostat and scheduling the times you turn on the heating or air conditioning. As a result, the equipment doesn't operate as much when you are asleep or not at home.
Programmable thermostats can store multiple daily settings (six or more temperature settings a day) that you can manually override without affecting the rest of the daily or weekly program.
Ask your Patriot Bear Heating & Air technician for help if needed.
