Choose the Best Energy Efficient System

You may have seen the blue Energy Star label on appliances, but if you are like many people, you do not know the history behind the label and what the label really means. Energy Star is a program started by the EPA in the early 1990’s.

Part of the programs goals was to establish a way for consumers to identify energy-efficient products and to give manufacturers additional incentive to create those products. Here is more about the benefits of choosing an Energy Star cooling system.

Lower Utility Bills

Energy-efficient appliances use less energy, and this means you should see lower utility bills.

Those cooling systems that have the Energy Star label were required to go through special standardized tests to ensure they met current standards for energy savings.

These cooling systems perform as well as or better than old systems, but they are designed to use less energy to do so.

Increased Comfort

Energy Star cooling systems use top of the line technology, design and materials. This results in a better system that meets your Winston-Salem home’s cooling needs.

You will experience this comfort all without needing to turn your thermostat lower. In addition, energy-efficient products run more quietly than old-style cooling systems, which means a quieter home environment.

Increased Home Value

If you ever choose to sell your Winston-Salem home, an energy-efficient cooling system is a valuable selling point. More and more, buyers are looking for homes that have already been upgraded to be more energy-efficient for they know this will save them money on utilities. Investing in an energy-efficient system now, therefore, saves you money on utilities and can bring you more money later on when you move.

When you choose an Energy Star rated cooling system for your home, you benefit and the environment benefits as well. Your heating and cooling system is responsible for a large percentage of energy use in the home.

By cutting the energy consumption by choosing energy-efficient systems, you help decrease your home’s carbon footprint. This is a win-win situation.

In addition, the government sometimes offers incentives to homeowners who make energy-efficient changes in the home. You can sometimes qualify for rebates or tax cuts just by replacing old appliances with Energy Star appliances.
