With air conditioning units that are up to 20% more efficient than older models, Washingtonians can enjoy lower cooling bills year-round while helping reduce energy use and our reliance on fossil fuels.
But you shouldn’t wait for summertime heat waves before upgrading their system – now’s the time! Need another reason to upgrade? You can save money by doing it.

A good furnace lasts from 15 to 20 years, but many of the furnaces become less efficient after a few years of usage because of wear and tear.

December is here! Cold temperatures are already starting to seep in through left open windows, unsealed doors, and the cracks throughout our home.

This is an interesting question, and one that gets to one of the most important aspects of being a furnace owner—vigilance.
