What is the Best AC Temperature?
With the changing seasons, what is the optimal AC temperature for homeowners? Research shows that the optimal temperature changes throughout the day depending on different goals, lifestyles, and geographical locations. While one of the best ways to understand what works well is to experiment, there are a few ways experts recommend for saving money while staying comfortable. What Is The Best Temperature for an Air Conditioner in Warm Weather? It may be tempting to set the temperature as low as possible when it is...
How to Maintain Your HVAC in the Summer
The summer heat is one of the few true tests for an HVAC system. As homeowners experience rising heat and humidity, air conditioning temperatures are typically turned down to keep their homes cool and comfortable. During this season, one of the worst situations to be in is sweating in a home with a malfunctioning HVAC system. Fortunately, there are several ways to maintain your AC in the summer to ensure that it runs properly and efficiently. 1. Maintain the Air Filter Properly caring for the air filter allows...
The Importance of Monitoring Humidity Levels with HVAC Systems
The Environmental Protection Agency recommends keeping indoor humidity levels between 30-50% year-round to maintain comfort levels and good air quality. The Problems With High Humidity Levels Too much humidity in a home, and the risk of having mold, mildew, dust, and allergens increases substantially. High humidity levels also cause damage to hardwood floors and fabrics, condensation on windows, and a musty odor in the home. With high humidity levels, the home feels too warm, causing HVAC systems to work harder...
Energy Efficiency and Smart Thermostats Go Hand in Hand
Smart thermostats make it easier than ever for homeowners to keep their homes comfortable without even thinking about it. However, there’s a lot more to the importance of having a smart thermostat besides convenience. Here are 3 reasons why smart thermostats are key to energy efficiency in an HVAC System. 1. Reduced Energy Usage and Cost HVAC units without a smart thermostat often run on only one speed, and must be adjusted manually. This leaves the burden of determining ideal temperature and efficient energy...
How to Maximize Energy Efficiency with HVAC Systems
What’s a SEER ratio? The U.S. Department of Energy defines SEER as the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, or the measure of the energy efficiency of a heating and cooling system. Minimum standards are set by the DOE, depending on geographical region. To calculate a SEER ratio, DOE simulates a “typical” cooling season of a region, and compares outdoor temperatures (from 60 degrees to over 100) to a constant indoor temperature. Then, they divide that number by energy usage in Watt-Hours. The total is the...
Why Is ENERGY STAR Important When Choosing Your HVAC System?
ENERGY STAR is the industry-standard label denoting energy efficiency. If a product has an ENERGY STAR label, it means that it has met or exceeded very strict requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for energy efficiency and environmental impact. ENERGY STAR certified HVAC heating and cooling systems, such as Ecoer’s, have earned the ENERGY STAR seal of approval. This seal ensures that the system you are getting saves energy, and the environment! Investing in energy efficiency saves money!...
