If you’re looking to purchase a new HVAC system for your heating or cooling needs, take a closer look at products with the Energy Star label. While there may be plenty of inexpensive options available, many of these systems end up being more costly to run and maintain. HVAC systems that have earned the federal Energy Star label offer many advantages, which makes them the ideal choice if you’re seeking to upgrade or replace your old equipment.
- Energy Star certified products offer immediate savings. A typical HVAC system with an Energy Star badge is about 10 percent more energy efficient than the required minimum federal standards. Aside from the substantial annual savings on your energy costs, consider that since Energy Star certified systems do not need to work as hard to keep your home comfortable, unexpected repairs may be kept at a minimum. Purchasing a new HVAC system could also qualify you for tax credits or manufacturer’s discounts or rebates, keeping your overall costs at a minimum.
- Energy Star labeled products are good for the environment. Protecting the environment has never easier. Using HVAC systems that sport the Energy Star logo helps control global warming. Because these products need less power compared to non-Energy Star HVAC equipment, less electricity is used. This in turn equates to fewer greenhouse gas emissions. A number of certified brands also use parts or components made from recycled materials.
- Energy Star products are well built. It’s not easy to earn Energy Star approval. Models that qualify must pass strict energy performance ratings. Any company willing to devote the research and development needed to earn this distinction is a company that has great pride in its products.
