Where a Heat Pump Is a Good Idea

Will a heat pump save you money? If you live where temperatures typically stay above freezing and electric rates are low, the answer is most likely yes. Heat pumps draw heat from outdoor air in winter and release it inside. In summer, the process is reversed. The cost of buying and installing a heat pump divided by the total hours used each year is often less than that of buying and installing individual heating and air systems. As Westinghouse HVAC experts, we can recommend a heat pump or other equipment that can cut your energy bills while keeping your home more comfortable. Call us for a consultation today.

Make Your AC More Efficient In the Summer, by Maintaining it in the Spring

If you want to get your A/C ready for the summer, start in the spring. Clear leaves and dirt from the inside of your unit’s top grill. Trim nearby landscaping to allow at least two feet of clearance around the unit. Set the thermostat to cooling mode and run your A/C a few minutes to confirm that it’s working. Then call us to schedule an annual checkup. As the Westinghouse heating and air experts, we’ll ensure your system is in top working order so you’ll never have to sweat a summer A/C breakdown.

Do You Know What's Hiding In Your Carpet?

Carpets are great for home comfort, but not so good for air quality because they collect dust and dander. If your home is carpeted, be sure to vacuum regularly. In addition, consider a whole house air cleaner to remove toxins and improve the overall air quality of your home. Contact us, the Westinghouse HVAC experts, for more information today.
