Heating and Cooling Equipment
|
| Did you know that heating and cooling represents approximately 44% of your total energy usage? That's right; consumers spend approximately 6% to 12% of their gross income paying for residential fuel and energy costs—an amount equal to $100 billion annually. The ENERGY STAR® Residential Heating and Cooling (HVAC) Program is a voluntary labeling program for home heating and cooling systems: furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, air conditioners, and thermostats. The goal of all ENERGY STAR® programs, is to help consumers reduce their overall energy use by identifying energy-efficient products. EPA estimates that consumers could save approximately 10% to 40% on heating and cooling bills. |
The following equipment meets ENERGY STAR® guidelines: Equipment Type | ENERGY STAR® Guidelines | Furnaces | 90 AFUE | Central Air Conditioners | 13 SEER | Boilers | 85 AFUE | Air Source Heat Pumps | 7 HSPF / 12 SEER | Gas-Fired Heat Pumps | 1.2 COP (H) / 1.25 COP | Geothermal Heat Pumps | 2.8 COP (H) / 13 SEER | Programmable Thermostats | 4 daily, weekend/day, and other energy comfort settings |
