Most of us like to make resolutions every New Year in order to set goals for ourselves. We resolve to do everything from losing weight to making more money, and even though we may put forth a good effort for the first few months, these self improvement resolutions are often forgotten before a real improvement is ever made. This year, why don’t you try something a little different? Here at Four Seasons, we want to encourage you to use this year as a chance to make some much needed energy efficient improvements in your home and Four Seasons can help!
Home Improvement Resolutions
- Replace the Furnace: The older the heating system is, the better the chances are that it is extremely inefficient. If you were to swap out that old unit with a high efficiency Lennox system from Four Seasons, you could save up to 30% or more on your energy bills every year!
- Improve the Efficiency of the Furnace You Have: If you unit is fairly new and rated at 80% AFUE or higher, you may want to just consider starting a maintenance routine this year. A seasonal tune-up from Four Seasons will keep that unit running at peak efficiency for years to come, and prevent problems that could shorten your system’s lifespan. This service will also help you get the most out of your heating system this year!
- Install a Programmable Thermostat: Another low cost improvement that can be made to your existing furnace is the replacement of the thermostat. Swapping out the thermostat with a programmable one will allow you to easily set back the temperature in the home while you are away. This will save you both time and money!
- Insulate the Attic: If your attic is lacking insulation, improving that situation could end up being the most beneficial improvement you make in your home. An attic that allows heated air to escape your home could be costing you hundreds extra every year. Any other improvements to the heating systems will not improve your home’s energy efficiency until this problem is taken care of. Luckily, Four Seasons has expertly trained attic insulation crews that can check this resolution off your list in a matter of a few hours.
- Replace the Old Water Heater: Many of us don’t even think about our water heater until we wake up one morning to a cold shower, but that old water heater could be costing you big time! Replace the old system with a new high efficiency water heater from Four Seasons, or at the very least, turn the temperature back to 120 degrees in order to conserve some energy.
The best part about committing to these resolutions is that they don’t take an entire year to complete! When you have Four Seasons lend you a hand, you can improve your home’s energy efficiency in no time at all. Give Four Seasons a call today, and stick to your resolutions in 2011!
