according to the u.s. department of power, 56% of the total power consumption in the average unites states household goes towards operating the heating and cooling systems. that percentage can either be higher or lower depending on how efficient your heating, ventalation, and air conditioning system is functioning. an easy way to reduce the amount of power these systems use is by accessorizing. no, i am not suggesting that you run out and buy a purse that matches your furnaces blower motor. instead, i am suggesting adding a programmable thermostat, sealing the ducts, and replacing the furnaces air filter. four seasons house services can perform all of these services and get your heater running as efficiently as possible for this upcoming cold seasons season.
programmable thermostats

when you set the program on the thermostat, you will choose a temperature for times when the family is house and awake and a temperature for when the family is away or asleep. the more you take advantage of the rollback in temperature and all of the features offered by a programmable thermostat, the more money you will save! but, if the thermostat is never installed correctly, you will never benefit from its features. trust the knowledgeable handymen at four seasons to setup your new programmable thermostat and start saving!
