Energy-efficient buildings, appliances, air conditioners, furnaces, light bulbs, cars, electronics – the list goes on and on. We hear the term repeatedly, but do we actually understand what it means and why it’s important?
Your HVAC system is an essential element to keep your home comfortable, but it is also one of the most expensive, energy-utilizing appliances in your home. An energy-efficient HVAC system will use less electricity and fuel to produce the same amount of warm and conditioned air. Choosing an energy-efficient HVAC system will lower the strain on your wallet and the environment.

I called on December 25th at midnight and started leaving a message and Thomas Hoffman the owner called me back almost immediately. He said he would come out the next morning between 8:00 and 10:00 am snd he was promptly on time. He fixed my problem and while he was there I decided to get an estimate for a new furnace and air conditioning unit. The price was very reasonable and the installers one of them being his son were both very professional very courteous, polite, arrived on time and finished the same day. I enjoy knowing that I now have the support of Thomas Hoffman heating and air conditioning along with the peace of mind that comes with owning a Trane. Nothing stops a Trane.

Nick was excellent. Super profession, quick, and up front with the pricing (which was fair). Hopefully we don't need to call anyone to fix our AC again, but if we do - I'm calling Nick!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Layton, for your amazing review! We really appreciate your support and hope to be your first call for any future repairs!
Same day service. Technician arrived as scheduled. Replaced capacitor quickly. Friendly technician. Repair cost $429 seemed high for inexpensive part and 20 minutes labor.

My ac compressor was replaced. They always do a good job and they are always available when you need them.I think the price was a little too high since they only had to change the compressor in my unit. The compressor was under the warranty. Other than that Im very satisfied with the job the technician did.

What Is Energy Efficiency?
Simply put, it means using less energy to get the same job done—many appliances and products in your home use more energy than they actually need. By using energy-efficient products, you eliminate energy waste and lower energy costs. In the process, you cut your energy bills and reduce pollution.
Many furnaces and air conditioner systems utilize way too much energy. It’s expensive as well as harmful to the environment. Choosing the most energy-efficient HVAC system possible is one of the most cost-effective ways to combat climate change, clean the air we breathe and help people meet their budgets.
Energy Efficient HVAC Systems
There are many choices when it comes to using energy-efficient products. Anywhere that energy is used is an opportunity to improve efficiency. Some examples of energy-efficient products include light bulbs, windows, insulation, and other types of products that are ENERGY STAR certified. This list also includes your HVAC system, as well as your thermostat.
To choose the most energy-efficient HVAC system for your home, you need to understand your options. The specific system you need will vary widely depending on your climate and the layout and age of your home. The best way to choose the right system is to consult an HVAC technician. At Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating, we can help you explore your options and help you decide what system is right for you, your family, and your budget.
Understanding the SEER Rating
There are differences between energy-efficient HVAC systems. Not only will some systems be more efficient for different homes, but they will each have a different rating system for efficiency.
It’s essential to pay attention to the SEER rating when purchasing a new air conditioner, heat pump, or furnace. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is a measurement of its efficiency. Typically, the higher the SEER rating, the more efficient your appliance is, but other factors affect efficiency. Don’t base your decision purely on the SEER rating.
Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Efficiency
HVAC efficiency refers to how effectively an HVAC system uses energy to heat and cool a space. Higher efficiency means lower energy consumption and cost savings over time.
Regular maintenance, upgrading to energy-efficient models, using programmable thermostats, and ensuring your home is well insulated can improve HVAC efficiency.
A high-efficiency HVAC system operates at a higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, using less energy to heat or cool the same amount of space compared to lower SEER models.
The benefits of a high-efficiency HVAC system include reduced energy costs, lower environmental impact, improved indoor air quality, and increased comfort levels in your home.
