Heating and cooling account for a large portion of your home’s energy use, which is why outdated systems can significantly impact both your comfort and your utility bills. Investing in energy-efficient HVAC upgrades not only saves money but also makes your home more environmentally friendly. At A. Fagundes Plumbing & Heating Inc., we help homeowners in Lowell, Tyngsborough, and Nashua take advantage of modern solutions designed to keep their homes comfortable year-round while reducing energy waste.
Upgrade to a High-Efficiency Furnace or Air Conditioner
Older systems often operate at lower efficiency levels, which means they consume more energy than necessary. Modern furnaces and air conditioners have much higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings. Choosing a high-efficiency unit allows you to heat and cool your home more effectively while keeping monthly costs in check.
Consider a Heat Pump System
Heat pumps have become increasingly popular because they provide both heating and cooling in one system. Instead of generating heat, they transfer it, making them far more energy-efficient than traditional systems. Many homeowners in Massachusetts and New Hampshire are turning to heat pumps to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels while enjoying year-round comfort.
Install a Smart Thermostat
One of the simplest and most affordable upgrades you can make is installing a smart thermostat. These devices learn your habits and adjust heating and cooling cycles automatically, so your system only runs when needed. Over time, this helps cut down on wasted energy while giving you better control over your indoor climate from anywhere using a smartphone.
Seal and Insulate Your Ductwork
Even the most efficient HVAC system can struggle if your ductwork is leaking or poorly insulated. Energy loss through ducts can account for up to 30% of your system’s energy consumption. Sealing leaks and adding insulation ensures that conditioned air reaches every room, improving efficiency and comfort.
Improve Indoor Air Quality with Energy-Saving Add-Ons
Upgrades like energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and advanced filtration systems not only improve air quality but also help your HVAC system run more efficiently. These systems reduce the strain on your heating and cooling equipment while ensuring your family enjoys cleaner, healthier air.
