Average Life Span of an Air Conditioner

How old is your A/C system? If it’s more than 12 years, it may be time for a replacement. Even if the system seems fine, it’s nearing the end of its life and could be costing you much more to run than a newer, more energy efficient model. As heating and air experts, we can help you select a Westinghouse system that will help you save energy and money, too. Call for a consultation today.

Choosing a Thermostat That Fits Your Needs

With so many kinds of programmable thermostats available, how can you begin to choose? Think about your family’s schedule and how often you are away from home for activities like work and school. If your routine changes every day, consider a 7-day model with the flexibility to set different programs each day. If your schedule stays the same during the week, but differs on the weekend, a 5 + 2 model could be the right option for you. For those who keep one schedule Monday through Friday, another on Saturdays and a third on Sundays, 5 + 1 + 1 models work best. Call us, the Westinghouse HVAC experts, for advice on selecting and installing the right programmable thermostat for your lifestyle. You could be saving as much as $180 a year!

How Properly Placed Trees Help Your AC Performance

Strategic landscaping will help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Plant deciduous trees to block the sun's rays to avoid overheating. When these trees lose their leaves in the winter, they’ll allow the sun to help warm your home all day long. Combine this idea with additional tips and energy efficient equipment options from us, the Westinghouse HVAC experts, to reduce annual energy costs. Call for more information today.
