Here are the top reasons why Fall is the perfect time to invest in a new HVAC system and how it can lead to significant energy savings:
Improved Energy Efficiency: Modern HVAC systems are designed to be far more energy-efficient than their older counterparts. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), replacing an old HVAC system with a new, energy-efficient one can save homeowners up to 20% on heating and cooling costs.
Take Advantage of Rebates and Discounts: Many HVAC manufacturers and utility companies offer incentives and rebates for homeowners who upgrade to energy-efficient systems. During the Fall, these incentives are often more plentiful, making it a financially wise time to invest in a new HVAC unit.
Lower Repair Costs: If your current HVAC system has been requiring frequent repairs or is nearing the end of its lifespan, investing in a new system can actually save you money in the long run. Fall is an ideal time to replace your HVAC unit before the harsh winter months set in, reducing the risk of sudden breakdowns when you need your heating the most.
Environmental Impact: Older HVAC systems are less environmentally friendly, emitting higher levels of greenhouse gases. By upgrading to a new, energy-efficient system, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Upgrading your HVAC system during the Fall not only ensures your comfort throughout the season but also leads to long-term energy savings and environmental benefits. Take advantage of the incentives available and make the switch to an energy-efficient system for a more comfortable and sustainable home.

Here are some valuable tips to embrace mental wellness and navigate the season with positivity:
Embrace the Beauty of Nature: Connecting with nature can reduce stress, boost mood, and provide a much-needed break from daily routines.
Practice Mindfulness: Fall can be a busy time with various holidays and commitments. Mindfulness helps to bring awareness to our thoughts and feelings, allowing us to navigate challenges with a clear and focused mind.
Stay Active: Regular physical activity is not only essential for our physical health but also has significant benefits for our mental well-being. Whether it's a workout at the gym, a dance class, or a brisk walk in the crisp fall air, exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood boosters.
Establish a Routine: As the season changes, maintaining a consistent daily routine can provide stability and a sense of control. A structured routine can help alleviate stress and anxiety, especially during times of change.
Seek Professional Support: If you find yourself struggling with mental health challenges, don't hesitate to seek professional support. Talk to a therapist or counselor who can provide guidance and tools to navigate through difficult emotions.<a href="https://stewartheatingandair.com/homesense-blog/"></a>

Regular physical activity can enhance your mood, improve your physical fitness, and contribute to your overall well-being.
Summer opens up a variety of outdoor activities that are not only fun but also great for your health. Swimming is a great low-impact exercise that works all your muscle groups. Cycling, whether on a trail or in the city, provides excellent cardiovascular benefits. Hiking in nature can reduce stress, and a simple walk in the park can provide both physical and mental health benefits. Remember to protect yourself from the sun's rays and to stay hydrated during these activities to ensure you're taking care of your overall health.
However, staying active doesn't mean you should disregard the importance of rest. Good quality sleep is crucial for your body to recover from the day's activities and to ensure you have enough energy for the next day. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night and try to maintain a regular sleep schedule, even during vacation or on weekends.
Nutrition also plays a vital role in maintaining your health during the summer. Opt for lighter meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid heavily processed foods and drinks high in sugar, as these can lead to energy crashes and dehydration.

These devices allow you to program temperature settings based on when you're home and when you're away. Some can even learn your patterns and adjust accordingly, ensuring optimal energy use.
Another strategy for energy saving is zoning. Zoning systems allow you to control the temperature in different areas or 'zones' of your home. This means you can cool only the areas of your home that are in use, rather than cooling the entire house.
Both of these methods reduce the workload on your HVAC system, resulting in significant energy savings over time.

Not only is water essential for nearly all our bodily functions, but dehydration can lead to a number of health issues ranging from headaches and dizziness to severe heat-related illnesses.
Aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day during summer, or more if you are physically active or spending a lot of time outdoors. It's a good idea to always carry a water bottle with you and take regular sips throughout the day.
While water is the best hydration choice, you can also incorporate fruits and vegetables with high water content into your diet. Watermelon, cucumbers, strawberries, and lettuce are all great choices. These foods not only contribute to your fluid intake but also provide beneficial vitamins and minerals.
Avoid drinks with high sugar content, like sodas and commercially prepared fruit juices, as they can lead to dehydration. If plain water isn't appealing, try infusing it with fresh fruits, herbs, or a splash of lemon for a refreshing twist.
Remember, hydration is not only about drinking enough fluids but also about replenishing electrolytes, especially during intense physical activities. In such cases, opt for a natural electrolyte drink or a homemade solution with water, lemon, salt, and a bit of natural sweetener.

Poor insulation and air leaks can cause your HVAC system to work overtime, increasing your energy consumption and your bills.
Check your home's insulation, especially in the attic, as hot air can enter your home through the roof, causing your HVAC system to work harder.
In addition to insulation, check your home for air leaks, particularly around windows and doors. Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal these leaks and keep the cool air inside.
By keeping your home well-insulated and sealed, you'll optimize your HVAC system's performance, resulting in energy savings and a more comfortable home.

Ensuring your skin's health requires a combination of sun protection, good skincare practices, and maintaining overall health.
First and foremost, protect your skin from the sun. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 30. Apply sunscreen liberally to all exposed skin 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating. Keep in mind that even on cloudy days, up to 80% of the sun's harmful UV rays can penetrate your skin.
Beyond sunscreen, consider wearing protective clothing such as long-sleeved shirts, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses with UV protection. Seek shade during the sun's peak intensity hours, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Skincare is equally important during the summer. Wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser to remove sweat, oil, and dirt. Moisturize your skin to prevent dryness caused by sun and heat. Choose a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which help to retain moisture.
Finally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle supports skin health. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated, and eat a balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, which provide essential nutrients for skin health.

Or, if not added roominess, at least a better way to organize what you have. Creative ideas like these could be just the trick to help you free up valuable workspace:
Crockpots don’t have to be just for cooking. They can also hold go-to utensils, such as wooden spoons and spatulas, in a convenient spot on the kitchen counter.
Rein in the chaos of plastic containers. Store lids in a large plastic bag so you can see what you have at-a-glance – making it easier to match the lid to the right-size container.
Use easy-to-grab bins or baskets to hold items in out-of-the-way spots, such as open spaces above cabinets or refrigerators.
Repurpose desk organizers for your daily work at the kitchen sink. Hang them on a nearby cabinet or wall and use them to hold sponges, scrubbers, and dish detergent.
Similarly, store rolls of aluminum foil and boxes of plastic wrap upright in a magazine file.
Use a simple canning jar to hold measuring spoons and place it near the stove.
Get those loose plastic bags out of your valuable cabinet space and push them into empty tissue boxes for quick retrieval without the clutter.

Like, low, high. Cold, hot. We’ve certainly seen those extremes in weather this year – and will be seeing even more.
You’d think that serious cold would be followed by a milder summertime. But that’s not what the weather people see happening. Instead, after a really cold winter pretty much across the country, we’re moving right into another extreme: a really hot summer.
So those really low temperatures are headed really high, and those uncomfortably cold days are about to become uncomfortably hot.
But here’s the good news. This fact of weather life does not mean that you have to be uncomfortable, especially in your own home. In fact, there’s an important step you can take right now to ensure that your home comfort stays steady whatever ups and downs the thermometer shows.
This info tells you lots more. <a href="https://www.stewartheatingandair.com/comfort-tips.asp">Please take a look. </a>

Some predictions are wonderful to have like... “It is going to be a mild summer.” That one is awesome, so it would definitely be listed in the “gift” category.
Other predictions may make life a little difficult for someone involved in the prediction. I would imagine it is both a coaching dream and nightmare to be predicted to win a national championship. On one hand, surely it makes recruiting a breeze – who wouldn’t want to be on that team! On the other hand, I am assuming the coach would have to work very, very hard to keep the team focused on each and every game left to play. So maybe that one is a gift and a curse.
Another “gift” is knowing that this is going to be a COLD winter. Knowing it in advance allows you to make adjustments to your heating system so that you save money this winter instead of spending it unnecessarily.

First, we would probably all call the police – immediately. Then, we would really, really hope he was kidding. No one wants their home to explode, or even a room in their home to explode.
That would be a terrible tragedy, not to mention the mess to clean it up and the money spent trying to right everything again. It is definitely better just to avoid this happening altogether. I will take prevention every single time that choice is offered to me.
While this is a very dramatic scenario, it is a real possibility for people who choose not to have their furnaces serviced year after year.

That means your home comfort system can have a big effect on your utility bills. So taking care of it can save you a lot of money on your energy bills and also improve your home comfort.
A good way to keep your system running smoothly and efficiently through each season is to get a tune-up. I know what you’re thinking; that’s what you do for a car. But your home cooling system, like a car, requires maintenance to run well.

I don’t mean obsessively clean, just people-live-here-clean.
By now, most of us have got the basics down of keeping our home tidy, vacuuming, dusting, cleaning the bathrooms, etc., but did you know your home comfort system also needs a good cleaning? I bet that is one thing that gets overlooked.
It is not something that jumps to the front of one’s mind when you are going through a mental list of what needs to be done. Too often, we neglect our home comfort system. We expect it to work with maximum efficiency the second we turn it on without ever stopping to think about what has spent months building up while it sat there unused.
For information on why and how to have your home comfort system cleaned, read <a href="https://www.stewartheatingandair.com/comfort-tips.asp">“The Dirty Secret…”.</a>

Depending on the subject (surprise party vs. hazardous waste) and who it is about (relative vs. major corporation), a secret can be a fun event bonding people together or it can go to the other extreme where a bit of information left untold has the potential to be dangerous to your health.
Everyone has secrets both big and small and we are no exception. Don’t be too alarmed. Our secret is not as scary as hazardous waste; and one thing is for sure… Whether we are referring to people or companies, the truth will come out eventually.
Why, then, do so many companies leave out information their customers need to know in order to make informed decisions? Money, of course, and maybe power and definitely a concern for their reputation.
We are just not interested in being a company with secrets. To learn more about a big secret the heating and air conditioning industry has been keeping, read “Have You Heard the Dark and Dirty Secret…about Your Home Comfort System?”

A cracked door here, an open window there – while your air conditioning system is churning out cool air – will lead you from energy efficiency to extra energy usage. And that leads to higher energy bills.
Any number of vulnerabilities in the airtightness of your home can cause your home comfort system to work overtime – needlessly sending your energy bills upward. In your mind’s eye, you can almost picture your nicely cooled air escaping through these various openings.
But now with a special test, you don’t have to settle for your imagination or guesswork. You can get a very clear picture of what’s happening with your energy use throughout your whole house.
We’ve got some information about how trained technicians employ high-tech equipment to pinpoint trouble spots, and you can find out more in this report, <a href="https://www.stewartheatingandair.com/comfort-tips.asp">How to Look at Your Energy Use from All Angles.</a> Please check it out.

Well, it won’t take much detective work to figure that out – because what your system is telling you about the summer heat isn’t a secret.
You can pretty much guarantee that if you’ve got a well-maintained, fairly new energy-efficient home comfort system, it’s saying, “No problem. I’ve got this.” But if your heating and air conditioning system has been chugging through summer heats for a while, the message could be a bit different.
For example, if you can tell that your home comfort system is undergoing strain trying to keep up with rising temperatures, it could be giving clear signs that you need to make another plan for your home comfort this summer. Some of the signs you’ll see will be inconsistent comfort, more repairs than ordinary, higher energy bills – and just an overall sense of uncertainty about whether it’s time to make a change.
Well, we’ve got some news that can help you through that uncertainty – and be very comfortable with whatever decision you make. This info explains what I’m talking about. <a href="https://www.stewartheatingandair.com/comfort-tips.asp">Please take a look.</a>

With all of the holidays – which is great fun – money has the potential to add up quickly – and then add to that the expense of trying to keep the house heated and everyone warm – well, it is an almost suffocating time of year for the dear ol’ piggy bank.
I am pretty sure I want what everyone else wants – to spend less on my utilities and to put more money into savings. Energy expenses are just through the roof these days and it doesn’t seem like that will change anytime soon, if ever.
But what can we really do about it? We HAVE to heat our homes; that part is not really an option and while I do enjoy a good fire every now and then, it is really not an efficient way to warm our homes all winter long.
A solution may be easier to come by than you think. Read<a href="https://www.stewartheatingandair.com/comfort-tips.asp"> “Have You Heard about Hybrid Heating?”</a> This is something to get really excited about and a way to let that piggy bank fill up with savings.
