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.

Choosing the Right SEER

As summer heats up, you might be thinking about a new air conditioner. Do your wallet a favor and choose a high efficiency model. New air conditioners come labeled with a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER), a standard that lets you calculate how much electricity the air conditioner will consume. The higher the SEER, the less it will cost you to operate the appliance to achieve the same level of cooling. As HVAC experts, Westinghouse can help you navigate the many options available in energy efficient air conditioning. Call us to set up a consultation today.

Does SEER Have You Confused

The terms you encounter when shopping for a new A/C system can be confusing. Like SEER, which stands for the seasonal energy-efficiency ratio of a cooling system. SEER measures how efficiently the system will operate throughout the cooling season. A higher SEER means a higher efficiency. As Westinghouse heating and air experts, we can help you choose the right system to optimize your home comfort and energy savings. Call us for more information today.
