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.

What you Need to Know About Zoning

How do zoning systems save energy? They allow you to manage how warm or cool each room of your home is by working with your central heating and air system to provide individualized control. The system is designed to automatically open and close dampers in your home's ductwork, letting in just the right amount of air based on thermostat settings for each zone. Everyone stays comfortable in every room, and you'll avoid wasting energy. As Westinghouse heating and air experts, we can recommend a zoning system or other equipment that can cut your energy bills and make your home more comfortable. Call us for a consultation today.

When to Air Out the Inside

Did you know that your efforts to save energy could be compromising your indoor air quality? That’s because harmful elements can’t escape an airtight environment, and become concentrated indoors instead. We recommend that you “air out” your home about once a week. In the winter, turn off your heating system and open a few windows while you make a run to the grocery store or take a walk around the neighborhood. In the summer, open windows at night and keep them closed during the heat of the day. As Westinghouse heating and air experts, we can recommend additional products and practices to improve the air quality of your home. Call us for a consultation today.
