Use a Programmable Thermostat

Having a programmable thermostat installed is a simple way to lower your energy costs and it’s important if you’re interested in Indianapolis indoor air quality solutions. Programmable thermostats allow temperatures to be pre-set for different times of the day. For example, it might be ideal to keep the temperature at 73 degrees when you are home but 70 degrees when you are at work or sleeping.

 

Programmable thermostats have Adaptive Intelligence Recovery. They are designed to determine the amount of time and least amount of energy it takes to move from one temperature to another. As a result, temperature change within the program uses less energy than manual changes and these devices serve as excellent Indianapolis HVAC energy savings tips. WiFi programmable thermostats provide the added benefit of being able to access and control your HVAC system through your phone, tablet, or computer.

Install High Efficiency Equipment

For more Indianapolis HVAC energy savings tips, onsider investing in a 95% – 98% efficient furnace with heat pump. Gas furnaces and electric heat pumps allow your energy costs to be split more evenly. A heat pump efficiently uses electricity to heat your home until the outdoor temperatures fall to 20-30 degrees. At this time, the system automatically switches to the gas furnace which is more efficient (and produces a warmer heat) in extreme temperatures.

 

What’s the advantage to having a 95% efficient furnace? With this type of furnace, 95% of the heat is distributed throughout your home and only 5% is lost through the flue. With an 80% efficient furnace, for example, 80% of the heat is distributed throughout your home while 20% is lost through the flue. Variable speed and/or variable capacity motors, as well as inverter systems, also play a big role in the efficiency and comfort of your furnace and air conditioner!
