                                                            Steps to Heating and Cooling Efficiently

                                                            Picture

                                                            Save Energy on Heating and Cooling

                                                            By Following these Simple Steps

                                                            Step 1.

                                                            Change Your Air Filter Regularly

                                                            Contaminates and material that is being removed from your indoor air is collect in the filters.  A dirty filter increases the energy needed to deliver warmth or cooling throughout your home or business.  It also becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and many known pathogens.  Thus replacing filters regularly not only promotes better indoor air quality (IAQ) but also saves energy and increases the life expectancy of your complete Mechanical System.  

                                                            Check your Air Filter monthly and replace every 3 months regardless of visual cleanliness.  Comfort Engineered Systems offers worry free filter replacement scheduling through Southeast Louisiana.  Call us today to join our Customer Network and never worry about filter replacement or system cleaning again.

                                                            Step 2.

                                                            Service and Clean your HVAC equipment Annually

                                                            By simply cleaning the heating and cooling coils on your HVAC equipment you can increase the energy efficiency of your system dramatically.  Keeping the system clean not only increases energy savings but also increases service life of the equipment.  

                                                            Comfort Engineered Systems offers EPA Certified Cleanings throughout the Gulf Coast.  Worry free scheduled service cleanings offer our customers peace of mind.  Proactive maintenance plans can be scheduled at your convenience for either in season or off season rates.  Please take a look at our EPA Certified Cleaning Program.

                                                            Step 3.

                                                            Install a Programmable Thermostat 

                                                            Having a current thermostat with proper settings and controls saves consumers on average $180 a year.   If your systems does not have a Programmable Thermostat call us today and we can have one installed program the thermostat to meet your needs and schedule.

                                                            Step 4.

                                                            Keep HVAC Equipment in Conditioned Space

                                                            Very few people realize that keeping HVAC systems within conditioned space increases efficiencies by up to 50%.  All too often we see leaky improperly installed duct work in hot attics or run underneath houses to cut corners and installation costs leaving customers with phenomenally high energy bills.  By thoughtfully designing duct runs and air handling equipment to be contained within the envelope of the structure we also can drastically reduce tonnage and system requirements.  Consider this if you wanted to keep a drink cold you wouldn't place it in the sun, so why would you place your Air Conditioning equipment in a 150 degree attic?

                                                            Comfort Engineered Systems designs all of our installations on ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) and EPA design standards to maximize air conditioning and heating efficiency.  This allows us to calculate the unique requirements for each HVAC system which include but are not limited to Solar Heat Gain, Thermal Envelope and type of materials the home is constructed of to ensure proper duct and equipment sizing.  Whether you are an Architect, General Contractor or property owner alike let Comfort Engineered Systems design and perform a J-load calculation on your home.  By doing so you ensure you are designing to the highest HVAC building standards and are living in comfort and the knowledge that you are saving against future increases in the cost of heating and cooling your building.

                                                            Step 5.

                                                            Consider buying Energy Star Equipment

                                                            If you have older equipment or indoor comfort issue Contact us to professionally evaluate your HVAC equipment.  If the system is not performing efficiently or needs replacement consider only Energy Star equipment.  Through a complete diagnostic by Comfort Engineered Systems home owners save $100's and sometimes thousands off their annual heating and cooling bills.  Coupling the system with a Solar Energy System can produce a lifetime of energy needs and offers stunning returns on investment in excess of %400 in some instances.

                                                            Installing Energy Star Qualified Equipment is a great place to start.  Comfort Engineered Systems guarantees proper installation to the highest achievable certification level no matter which Green Rating or system qualification your project needs.  Comfort Engineered Systems is proud to save our customer on their utility bills and increase the life cycle of your equipment through proper scheduled installation, service and cleanings.
