Energy Savings at the Touch of a Button

Posted on November 1, 2011 by WestAIR Heating & Cooling

When you are at work during the day, sleeping at night or away for the weekend a programmable setback thermostat can be set to lower your temperature.  According to Energy Star(tm), you can save about $100 every year in heating and cooling energy costs by properly programming and using an Energy Star rated setback thermostat. Energy savings can quickly offset the costs of a new setback thermostat.

Specials are available if you schedule your installation with other furnace or Indoor Air Quality services. Call us today to schedule a simple installation of an energy saving setback thermostat.

Improve Indoor Air Quality with Duct Cleaning

Posted on October 5, 2011 by WestAIR Heating & Cooling

Do you or family members suffer from allergies or asthma? The accumulation of dust, dirt and other pollutants can pose a threat for everyone that breathes the air. Airborne contaminants include dust mites, fungi, germs and mold. Pollutants are drawn into the heating and air conditioning ducts through the return air registers.

You may want to have your ducts cleaned if you notice an excess of dust behind your return air grills or have had a remodel/construction project completed recently.

Duct cleaning of your air duct system can make a difference in your Indoor Air Quality and can cut your energy costs by increasing the efficiency of your system.

It is recommended that you have your ducts cleaned once every other year.  Specials are available if you schedule your cleaning with other furnace or Indoor Air Quality services. Call us today and schedule a duct cleaning this Fall.

Repair or Replace?

Posted on August 17, 2011 by WestAIR Heating & Cooling

Have you ever weighed the options whether to repair or replace? There are various tips that can help you when making your final decision.

Typically a service call will be enough, but when your bill for repair costs exceeds $400 it’s probably time to consider replacement. A few other indicators that it may be time to replace are if:

• Utility costs become too high.
• Equipment is 15+ years old, this includes: furnace, a/c, condenser and coil.
• You plan on living in your home for more than 2 years.
• Efficiency ratings are out-of- date. We have put together an efficiency ratings chart to help you.
