Energy-efficient homes are more common than ever. Although they provide many benefits, including reducing overall energy usage and a smaller carbon footprint, they come with some disadvantages as well.
Have your utility bills suddenly jumped? It could be your heating and cooling system.
When the temperature gets low, your energy bill gets high. That’s because you spend more time indoors during the winter. And we don’t blame you—it can get pretty cold here in Wisconsin.
On most thermostats, you can choose between On or Auto for your fan setting.
While an air conditioner’s efficiency is measured by its SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, an electric or gas- or oil-fired furnace’s efficiency is measured by its AFUE, or average fuel utilization efficiency. This standard measurement is given in percentages, letting you know how much of your fuel is actually used to heat your Wisconsin home and how much fuel is wasted.
Your furnace may be blowing cold air because the pilot light has gone out. Call us at 262-246-4772 or request service online to have it properly fixed. This is indicative of a bigger problem that requires professional help.
We want to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Although today’s furnaces can generate heat using a variety of fuels, natural gas is one of the most popular. Natural gas furnaces typically use a combination of methane and other carbon-based gases.
