GeoFurnace is about saving energy, which in turn saves our customers money. We are dedicated to staying abreast of changing technologies in the residential heating and cooling industry because we believe it is the right thing to do for our country and our planet.
Think of the energy it takes to heat and cool your home just like gas mileage and your car. Just like a car, every day a heating system operates, it can get good mileage or poor mileage. It all depends on the efficiency of the system. Over the life of a typical system (15 years), a lot of your money can be saved or wasted. This website will attempt to illustrate some of the ways you can save money on a daily basis.
It all starts with the design and installation of the system itself…
All Systems Are Not Equal
The graph at the right illustrates the universal basic difference in residential heating and cooling systems. Most people assume that all HVAC (heating, ventilation, and cooling) systems are basically the same, and therefore can be chosen on price alone. Nothing could be further from the truth. Before we even discuss our energy-saving products, this graph clearly illustrates how much a poorly designed and installed system really costs in terms of wasted energy. Four things: proper sizing, proper air flow, refrigerant charge, and air duct sealing can dramatically affect energy consumption. Each factor by itself does not represent huge savings. But when all are added together, the savings can be more than 1/3 of the total amount of energy needed to keep a home comfortable! Just imagine how much energy would be saved by the correct design and installation of home heating and air conditioning systems in the United States alone.
At GeoFurnace, we understand that energy efficiency starts with proper design and sizing. That's why we always calculate the amount of a home's heat loss based on window area, R-factor of the walls, construction quality, and many other factors before we quote a system. We have always been (and always will be) dedicated to energy-efficiency. We believe it is more important today than ever before. A well-designed and engineered high-efficiency indoor comfort system can pay for itself by saving you money every day it operates.
Give us an opportunity show you just how much.
