Is Your HVAC System Costing You Money?


On November 19, the St. Augustine News took a hard look at home HVAC systems and how inefficient they can be. According to the News, the average home HVAC system "wastes 25% of the HVAC's energy draw," mostly due to leaks in the system. Worse:


"...a truly 'faulted' system could waste as much as 75% of the HVAC's energy draw.

These are huge percentages. If the average system wastes 25% of the HVAC's energy draw through leaks, it means that anywhere between 5-15% of a given building's total energy cost is wasted. Poof. Gone."

This is why it's important to have your HVAC systems checked regularly. Abel Onsite, a heating and cooling company based in the Twin Cities region of Minnesota, recommends that you have an HVAC system inspection performed seasonally. Abel Onsite offers a program called the Abel Performance Program, which includes a yearly inspection of your systems, as well as no emergency rate and discounts on parts and labor.

  1. Manufacturers have created incentives to help the concerned homeowner lower their energy bills. Once you factor in the rebates, the higher efficiency HVAC equipment, while more expensive than lower SEER equipment, provides you with an investment that creates positive cash flow while making you more comfortable all year long
