Energy $avings: Central Air | Heating
John's AC & Heat installs and services Energy Star-certified air conditioning and heating products.
The ENERGY STAR program was created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to help businesses and individuals make energy-efficient purchases. You'll see the ENERGY STAR label on items that meet superior energy efficiency standards. It's an easy way for consumers to identify quality, high efficiency products.
You can get a Tax Credit for installing an Energy Star product, of 10% of the cost (up to $500) or a specific amount from $50 to $300. The offer applies to an existing home that is your principal residence. New construction and rentals do not qualify.

About Energy Star Central Air Conditioning
(from www.energystar.gov)
EER stands for "Energy Efficiency Ratio." Air conditioners with high EERs are good, because they cost less to operate. Unfortunately, they're also more expensive, so you have to find a balance. Air conditioners' EERs usually range from 8.2 to 10.5. So if you're going to have your air conditioner on 24/7 and you're planning on keeping it for a couple of years, then it's worthwhile to get an a/c with a high EER. If you only need an air conditioner to last you through the summer (and you're planning on being at the beach most of the time anyway), get an air conditioner with a low EER. Here are some other things to think about when purchasing your air conditioner:
* Warranty: Perhaps the most important feature of all, particularly if you have a history of bad luck with electronics. Be sure that your air conditioner comes with at least a 1-year warranty that covers labor and parts on the entire unit. This way, if something breaks down, you can return it and get a new one or send it in to be serviced free of charge. Some stores even offer an extended warranty plan (typically covering 4 to 5 years instead of just 1) for an extra fee. This may be a smart purchase if your electronics always seem to break right after the 1-year mark.
Earning the ENERGY STAR means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. By choosing ENERGY STAR qualified heating and cooling equipment and taking steps to optimize its performance, you can enhance the comfort of your home while saving energy. Saving energy helps you save money on utility bills and protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the fight against climate change.
ENERGY STAR qualified central air conditioners have higher seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) and energy efficiency ratio (EER) ratings, making them about 14% more efficient than standard models.
The central air conditioner also needs a blower motor – which is usually part of the furnace – to blow the cool air through the duct system. The only way to ensure that your new air conditioner performs at its rated efficiency is to replace your heating system at the same time. It’s especially recommended if your furnace is over 15 years old. If you purchase a new energy-efficient air conditioner but connect it to an older furnace and blower motor, your system will not perform to its rated efficiency.

About ENERGY STAR Boilers
AFUE, the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, measures the amount of fuel converted to space heat in proportion to the amount of fuel entering the furnace. This is commonly expressed as a percentage. Whether gas or oil, ENERGY STAR qualified boilers have annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) ratings of 85% or greater, making them 6% more efficient than models that simply meet the federal minimum standard for energy efficiency.

About ENERGY STAR Furnaces
ENERGY STAR qualified furnaces have higher Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings and higher efficiency blower motors, making them about 15% more efficient than non-qualified models.
ENERGY STAR qualified boilers have annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) ratings of 85% or greater. AFUE is the measure of heating equipment efficiency. They achieve greater efficiency with features, including:
- Electronic ignition, which eliminates the need to have the pilot light burning all the time new combustion technologies that extract more.
-
Heat from the same amount of fuel
sealed combustion that uses outside air to fuel the burner, reducing drafts and improving safety.
