When the temperature gets low, your energy bill gets high. That’s because you spend more time indoors during the winter. And we don’t blame you—it can get pretty cold here in Connecticut.
Here in Connecticut, we’ve reached the season that makes you say, “Gosh, it’s so dark out. Is it really only six in the evening?” Before the days get too short, remember to check off heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) maintenance from your autumn to-do list.
You hear it all the time—buy energy-efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment to lower your Connecticut utility bills!
Let’s face it—there’s never a good time for the heat to go out in your Connecticut home. You certainly don’t want to wait until your heating system stops working for you to realize you need a replacement!
The DOE says air conditioning can account for 35 to 40 percent of your utility bill here in Connecticut. We take energy efficiency seriously.
Sometimes, a simple, elegant piece of technology can deliver more with less. Ductless mini splits are a triple threat—compact wall units that generate heating, cooling, and ventilation. No ducts are required, and no dull whirring noises—they operate in near silence.
The reality is airborne contaminants, such as dust, dirt, and pet dander, can negatively impact the indoor air quality (IAQ) of your Connecticut home. At Ductworks HVAC Services, we want you to breathe in fresh air, which is why we offer maintenance to keep your HVAC in top shape.
Fortunately, ductless mini splits can provide all the essentials for home comfort—warm air, cool air, ventilation, and humidity control. Plus, they’re much more efficient than a standard air conditioner and furnace combination.
Zone controls are a series of dampers retrofitted in your ductwork, coupled with thermostats. They block or permit air from entering customized zones throughout your home. Zoning allows you to control different temperatures in different parts of your home.
The first step to optimizing efficiency is remembering to change your system’s air filter once every three months. This simple maintenance task ensures a balanced airflow, so your AC doesn’t overwork itself.
