Heating & Cooling
As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So good decisions about your home's heating and cooling systems can have a big effect on your utility bills.
When it comes to heating and cooling equipment, bigger is not better. The key is to make sure the unit is properly sized and make sure your home is efficient. The better your home is at holding the heat in, the less heat your furnace must produce. The less heat that is required of your furnace means a smaller furnace is required (save money) and less fuel is used (saving money again).
According to the EPA, up to 40% of a home's heating load is due to air infiltration through the cracks and holes in the crawlspace and attic. Ecohome Solutions will use a blower to measure the amount of air leaks as well as evaluate your windows, doors and insulation to make sure your new furnace is the right size.
