Save, Save, Save…

Who doesn’t want to save these days? I want to save time, money, energy and anything else I can think of. There is just not enough of anything these days to be wasteful or maybe as I have gotten older, I just care more about saving money and being efficient with regards to time. I need the things around me to work promptly and properly. I just don’t have time for my computer to have issues, my oven not to turn on or my toilet to back up. That being said, I really do not have the time to wait for my furnace to die before replacing it with another one. It’s one thing for my computer or toilet to have problems – those things I can work around. It is a whole other ball game for my heat not to work and my home to be cold. Read why “Wait and See Doesn’t Really Work” so that you are not left out in the cold and can save your time, money and energy costs today.

New vs. Old

In a war of new vs. old, who wins? I guess it would depend on what we were referring to. I personally think “old” music is better than the “new” stuff that is called music now. Between old and new cars… that’s a tossup for me; I like features from both. Old dog vs. new dog… I’ll take my old dog, thank you very much. But, when talking about an old vs. new heating system, it’s new that wins hands down every time. The old ones just cannot compete. They use more energy to produce the same amount of heat as the new ones which means they cost us more money just to run them. They can give out at any moment and then what are you left with – a cold home and a big bill. But don’t take my word for it. Read “Hey, I’m freezing in here. Is the furnace even working?” and find out why a new heating system is the way to go this winter.

Finding a Way to Beat the Energy Increase

It seems each year, things are getting more and more expensive and energy prices are continuously on the rise. Last Winter was no exception. In fact, it was quite shocking just how much energy prices had increased. With another Winter fast approaching, it’s a good time to figure out how to beat the almost certain energy increase this year. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a typical 10 year old furnace will cost you $746 more in energy this year than a new high efficiency Bryant heating and cooling system. Just consider how much of your money goes to Energy Companies or Mideast Oil Producers instead of staying in your pocket. How to Save… The simplest way to save money overall is to replace your old worn-out unit with a new high efficiency one. The demand for high efficiency items is increasing and basic economics tells you when supply doesn’t meet demand, prices go up. The best time to get a super-efficient heating and cooling system is before the winter price increase. After that, it’s only a matter of time before the manufacturers raise prices. By replacing your unit now, not only will you beat the near-certain price increase on new units later, but you will also save money on energy costs each month. Another way to be sure you save this winter is to have a Free Energy Analysis done on your home. Your unit may not need replacing right now. You may simply need a trained professional to suggest some free ways to save energy.

The Maintenance Issue

It is common knowledge that we must take care of things in order for them to work the way they were designed. If we don’t change the oil in our cars, bad things will happen. But isn’t it still a bit annoying when the “change oil” light comes on? Now you will have to find time in your already busy day to spend at least 30 minutes having your car serviced, all so that you can continue to drive it without any problems. I will admit this is a tri-monthly experience I don’t enjoy and wish there was some kind of reward to be had for keeping up with all those oil changes. Don’t get me wrong, I know the real “reward” is the money I am saving by keeping it maintained as opposed to “letting it go” and then having to spend a ton in repairs. We all know this to be true when it comes to cars, but we turn a blind eye to the same logic when it comes to our home comfort systems. We continue to use our home comfort system year after year, even after it has spent months being unused and we don’t want to spend the money to have it serviced so it will run safely and efficiently. Unfortunately, not applying the same maintenance logic we use with our cars to our home comfort system is costing us more money in the long run. Read “The Easiest Way to Save Money I’ve Ever Seen… is about to end” to learn more about maintaining your home comfort system and all the many rewards that go along with it.
