Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning has been installing programmable thermostats in homes across Chicagoland for many years now and the benefits of these thermostats have saved homeowners hundreds of dollars over the years. Now, there is an even easier way to get the most out of a programmable thermostat. Wifi enabled thermostats allow the homeowner added flexibility when it comes to setting the day to day program on the unit. The traditional programmable thermostat required manual setting changes and one forgotten adjustment could add up to extra cost that could have been avoided.
Added Benefits of a Wifi Enabled Programmable Thermostat
If you have a wifi network within the home, you can sync this thermostat with that network and access its settings from anywhere. Smart phones, tablets, and computers are all able to communicate with this device, so you could adjust the temperature from nearly anywhere. Instead of having to stick with one schedule every week, you can switch it up. Life is always changing from day to day, and these thermostats offer a new level of flexibility that simply could not be achieved with the old versions. For more information about these thermostats and to learn how you start saving more today, call Four Seasons!

In this case, it was the guarantee that we will always be there for our customers when they are in need and that we will make the process of buying a new system for your home as easy as possible.

“On behalf of our family, we wanted to thank Four Seasons for there wonderful service, they were there for us when our old furnace broke in the winter time. They provided us with the best service ever when it came down making the best decision on a brand new furnace as well as helping us with the financing. We sincerely thank you…” (more…)

As January inches closer and closer to its close, many of us are beginning to realize that this winter is not going to be as fierce as expected. We haven’t had to rely on the furnace as much as we have in recent years, and the decreased demand for heat has driven down the price of natural gas. The savings have begun to roll in and now all of this money that was to be allocated for heating and home is sitting around in need of use. Why not put that money to good use and invest it in your home? We cannot hope for these mild winters to continue in the future, but you could energy costs down even in the harshest of winters by making energy efficient improvements with Four Seasons!
Efficiency Improvements from Four Seasons
Any efficiency improvement from insulation to light bulb upgrades would make a difference, but upgrading the furnace and air conditioner will literally transform the way your home consumes energy. The combined energy use of these two systems makes up the majority of the energy use within the home. If these units are inefficient, that could add up to a lot of waste especially during the heavy use seasons. (more…)

One of the top complaints when it comes to home comfort is temperature inconsistency from room to room. Drafts and inadequate circulation are often the source of these types of problems, and many homeowners feel that they are at a loss when it comes to finding a solution to this issue. Many people can’t afford to blindly spend their money in search for an answer, but Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning has a few suggestions that any homeowner can cheaply implement in the home.
3 Ways to Even Out Your Home’s Temperature:
- Furnace Fan: The first step towards improving circulation in the home would be to turn the furnace circulating fan to “On.” The fan is most likely set to the “Auto” position which would only allow the fan to run when the furnace is generating heat. By turning the fan on all of the time, more air exchanges will be made through the ducts of the home which will lead to better circulation and disbursal of air in the home.
- Ceiling Fan: During the winter months, changing the direction of flow of the ceiling fan will help aide circulation in the home as well. A fan set to run clockwise will push air up. This effectively pushes that hot air that has risen to the ceiling back down into the room. This will help eliminate temperature variances from room to room and help optimize use of the heat created by your heating system. (more…)

Now that the snow has finally arrived, many of us are probably realizing that we didn’t miss it as much as we thought. Though this is only the first real snow storm of the season, there are bound to be more and with the snow comes ice and icicles. At Four Seasons, our biggest concern is what will happen when ice and snow buildup on power lines to the point that they collapse under the weight. This can leave entire neighborhoods without power for days, and in Chicago, even a few hours without heat in the home can become unbearable. It is because of this fact that there has never been a better time to consider having Four Seasons install an automatic generator in your home.
4 Reasons to Install a Generator from Four Seasons
- Restores Power Instantly: Automatic generators are wired directly into the power supply of the home. The unit is able to sense when power is cut off from the grid and will turn on automatically. The transition is so seamless that you may not even notice the power outage!
- Power as Much or as Little as You Want: Automatic generators can be customized to fit nearly any budget. You don’t have to power the entire home in order to purchase one of these systems. Power just the furnace and sump pump or power the entire home. It is your call, and Four Seasons will help make it as affordable as possible. (more…)

Have you ever thought that going green was simply out of your reach? Well, if you have you are not alone. When many of the energy efficiency technologies were first put into furnaces and air conditioners, the prices of these systems dramatically increased to a level that made them impractical for the average homeowner. Nowadays things are different. Sure there are still the super fancy, super high tech systems that cost a bit more, but now there are also more affordable systems that can still reach the high efficiency levels that you are looking for. Four Seasons wants you to know that you don’t have to spend your life savings just to save a little more every month on your energy bills, and we will show you how!
Affordable Energy Efficiency
The Lennox G43 Gas Furnace may be the perfect system for your home if you are working on a tight budget and still want to save some money. This system falls under our lowest price range, yet it is still rated at 92.1% AFUE! That level of efficiency could save you hundreds of dollars each year compared to your current standard furnace. Couple this with our attractive financing options and almost anyone can afford a high efficiency furnace from Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning. Get started today by calling your Home Comfort Specialist for more information, and go green on a budget now!

Boilers have a very long lifetime especially when they are cared for properly. At Four Seasons, we have seen old boilers last 20, 30 and even 40 years before breaking down to the point that they need to be replaced. So, how old is your boiler? Is your boiler still the original unit that was there when you moved into your home? If so, you can save money and energy by replacing that old system with a new high efficiency boiler from Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning.
Overpaying Every Month
You run into two problems when you allow an old outdated boiler to run in your home. The first problem is the cost. The older the boiler the odds are the less energy efficient it will be. Some older boilers waste as much as 50% of the natural gas they consume during the combustion process. That adds up to a hefty cost every month on your utility bills and for most of us, overpaying every month by 50% is simply not an option! (more…)

Winter is plagued by fierce storms in the Chicagoland area. For many, this means that the electrical supply to the home is not guaranteed. One strong gust and suddenly the home is without power. You and your family are then left at the mercy of your power company and their ability to get the power back up and running quickly. Frequent power outages not only disturb the flow of your day to day life, they also disturb the reliability of comfort in your home. No matter how great your furnace may function, it is useless without a source of electricity. Four Seasons’ Home Services division has the answer to your power outage problems: a whole house automatic generator.
Protecting Your Family’s Comfort
Unless you think your family could handle several days without heat in the home, you may want to sit down and seriously consider the benefits of a whole house generator. These systems, when installed by Four Seasons, will automatically switch on in the event of a power outage. They will use natural gas to produce electricity for as much or as little of the home as needed. At the very least you can attach this machine to the furnace, air conditioner, and sump pump. (more…)
