In most areas of the country, heating expenses consume a large part of a family's annual energy budget. The prices we pay for our main heating energy sources --oil, gas and electricity-- are continuing to rise. That's why it's more and more important to have a heating system that performs efficiently.
A number of factors determine the efficiency of your heating system. For starters, we know that by improving a home's insulation and airtightness, it's possible to reduce the demand for heat because less heat will leak out through the building envelope. Beyond these improvements, heating system efficiency depends on the type of heat being used and the efficiency of the heating appliance in use.
Replacing an old-fashioned thermostat with a programmable model is a recommended upgrade that will save energy and money just about all year round. A programmable thermostat can store time and temperature settings so that the HVAC system can "rest" or operate at minimum levels when the house is unoccupied, or when family members are sleeping at night. You don't have to remember to turn down the heat to save money; the thermostat can do it for you.
Different programmable thermostat models allow you to store HVAC system settings for weekdays, weekends, or even different settings for each day. A NO Dealers can help you select the model that best suits your HVAC system and your lifestyle.
