Green Heating and Cooling Tip:

Each degree you turn down the heat saves 3 percent of heating costs, while each degree you raise the temperature of your air conditioner saves 3-4 percent of cooling costs. By changing the temperature by 2 degrees all year, you can save about 2,000 pounds of C02 a year.

more than just environmentally friendly, it’s also economically beneficial home and business.

The Carbon Footprint of HVAC Equipment

According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, heating and cooling accounts for 48 percent of the energy used in a typical home. In fact, over eight percent of all the electricity generated in the U.S. is used for residential air conditioning at an annual cost of over 15 billion.

Residential fuel and power consumption can be significantly reduced by replacing older equipment and improving the efficiency of the HVAC system. At Bayside Heating & Air Conditioning, we provide a variety of environmentally-friendly products and services designed to lower annual heating and cooling costs and reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
