Energy-Efficient HVAC Upgrades for Your Home

During the freezing Brighton winters, your HVAC system works overtime to keep you warm. You enjoy the cozy comfort, but it comes with a price: a steep energy bill. Or maybe your heater runs nonstop and still doesn’t keep you warm, all while your energy costs keep climbing. These scenarios are all too common, but there’s good news — energy-efficient HVAC upgrades can transform your home’s comfort and significantly reduce your energy bills. As your partner in home comfort, Dominion Service Company is here to help you navigate the best options for making your home more energy-efficient. Here are some key upgrades you can implement for a more efficient HVAC system.

Upgrade Your Air Filtration System

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to improve your HVAC system’s efficiency is by upgrading your air filtration system. Regularly replacing your air filters with those that have a higher MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) count can trap more contaminants, leading to cleaner air and a more efficient system. Additionally, consider adding HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters to capture even finer particles. To take your air filtration a step further, incorporate UV filters. UV filters use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses, and mold spores that pass through your HVAC system, enhancing your home’s indoor air quality and the efficiency of your system.

Install a Programmable Thermostat

A programmable thermostat is a game-changer for home energy efficiency. By installing one of these smart devices, you can ensure your HVAC system runs only when necessary, reducing energy consumption without sacrificing comfort. A programmable thermostat allows you to set specific temperatures for different times of the day, such as cooler settings while you sleep and warmer settings while you’re awake. You can also choose to set higher or lower temperatures (depending on the season) when no one is in the house. This optimizes your HVAC system’s performance, leading to significant energy savings over time.

Upgrade to a Central AC Unit

Investing in an energy-efficient central air conditioning unit can have a substantial impact on your energy bills. Modern energy-efficient central AC units use advanced technology to cool your home more effectively while using less electricity. Features such as variable-speed compressors and smart controls allow these systems to adjust their output based on your cooling needs, providing consistent comfort while minimizing energy use. Energy-efficient cooling systems also come with improved SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings, indicating their efficiency. Upgrading to a high-SEER central air conditioning unit can significantly reduce your energy consumption and costs in the long run.
