Considering energy costs, what is most effective in controlling home costs?
A. First, is to make sure that a home’s current HVAC system is properly maintained and adjusted. A change of habit that leads to lower temperature settings for the home in winter and higher temperature settings in summer will greatly affect energy use. In addition, there are add-ons available for current systems to make them more efficient, especially thermostats, humidifiers, and some zoning controls that have efficiency implications. If your current system is nearing the time for replacement, your efficiency options are expanded and the potential for savings in comparison with an existing system can actually be quite dramatic.
