Alternatives to Harsh Cleaners That Impact the Air You Breath

Household cleaners contain chemicals that impact the quality of the air you breath every day. As an alternative, consider natural cleaning agents such as baking soda and white vinegar, or a brand of cleaner with specially formulated non-toxic ingredients. As Westinghouse HVAC experts, we can recommend products and practices to improve the air quality of your home. Call us for a consultation today.

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.

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.
