How an Energy Efficient Furnace Helps

This winter I was completely fed up by the sporadic heating from my ancient furnace. After much indecision, I finally consulted my regular home remodeling contractor, Landmark Construction Crew for suggestions on what to do.

The technicians took a look at the heating system and promptly suggested that I should go for a new and energy efficient furnace that would heat my house properly and also cause a substantial reduction in my energy bills.

We set to work on the project and they updated me about the varying AFUE ratings of various furnaces and what they meant. They guided me on the best configuration and make to suit my family’s needs.

While I was assured of proper installation by the experienced team, they informed me that faulty ducting or inadequate insulation will still continue to strain even the new system and lower its performance. This made sense to me and I agreed that they should first go ahead and seal all the leaks and check the insulation. A proper ducting system was also planned and installed before upgrading the furnace to the latest version. I was even made to realize that regular checking and cleaning is essential for keeping the furnace working properly.

In hindsight, I really appreciate that we are able to stay warm and toasty all winter without any cool drafts or cold floors anywhere. And the utility bills do not deliver a shocker anymore either!

Keep the Environment Clean & Green with Solar Energy

These days’ going green has become the mantra of many people around the world. With the state of the world getting worse every year, people are now trying to take an active step forward in trying to use products which are environment friendly. One of the biggest causes for environmental pollution and deterioration is the use of fossil fuels to power our homes and our cars.

Luckily there is a method to tackle this problem, and that is by installing a solar system in your home. Solar energy has officially been recognized as the best alternative to using fossil fuels which cause harm to the environment, and which are also nonrenewable resources. Solar energy is safe to use, and it is renewable, which is why PV solar system installation has become so popular all over the country.

Now you can contribute to a safer and greener environment with the help of Landmark Construction Crew Energy Upgrades. The team helps to install solar systems precisely so that you can get the federal tax credits and which will help you save big time on your energy bills!
