Unfortunately, during the summer months, your energy bills are going to be significantly higher than usual.
Make no mistake, no home in Jupiter Florida is going to be comfortable to live in without an HVAC system, so you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. During the hot Summers, an air conditioning unit is not a luxury, it is a necessity.
In most cases, a higher than usual electric bill can be due to an HVAC system that over the years has been less efficient. This essentially means that the older your unit is, the more energy it is going to take to run at maximum efficiency.
In this article, we will discuss why it is important to install and maintain an energy efficient HVAC system into your home and how it can help you to save money on your energy bills.
Determining Energy Efficiency
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is used to determine the energy efficiency of your HVAC unit.
An air conditioning unit should have a minimum SEER rating of 14. This rating goes all the way up to 23. This is an important factor to take into consideration when purchasing an HVAC unit.
As a consumer, you should always bear in mind that the higher the SEER rating, the more energy efficient your HVAC unit is going to be. In turn, your energy costs will also be significantly lower.
Reasons Why You Should Purchase an Energy Efficient HVAC System
Bills, bills, bills!
