What You Need to Know About 2 Stage Air Conditioners

Have you considered upgrading to an A/C system with two-stage cooling? These systems maintain even temperatures more efficiently because they have two levels of operation: a low setting that meets your home’s cooling needs 80% of the time, and a higher setting that runs longer when needed. Call us to discuss two-stage A/C systems and other energy efficient Westinghouse equipment options today.

Alarming Facts About Air Filters

Here’s an alarming statistic from Westinghouse: 50% of homes with central heating and A/C systems don’t get a regular filter change. In fact, 10% have never had a filter replacement. For optimum air quality, you should check your air filter every month, and replace it when it looks dirty or after three months—whichever comes first. For extra protection, install a HEPA grade furnace filter that will remove more particles overall, and also catch the tiniest ones that pass right through regular filters.  As Westinghouse HVAC experts, we can recommend products and practices to improve the air quality of your home.

Are Air Leaks Robbing You of Money

Air leaks could be increasing your energy costs more than you know. Look for ductwork that's disconnected at vents and registers, as well as compromised seals at floors, walls and ceilings. Increase airflow and comfort by keeping vents clear of furniture and rugs. If you have a fireplace, close the flue damper when it’s not in use to prevent air from escaping. As Westinghouse HVAC experts, we can advise you on these and more improvements to help you save energy while increasing the comfort of your home. Call us today for a consultation.
