4. Eco rebates
Certain high-efficiency products may also be eligible for an eco-rebate. These rebates are sponsored by your local energy company and are typically used as an incentive for consumers to use less energy per household by purchasing more energy-efficient appliances. See which Trane products qualify for an eco rebate in your area when shopping for a new HVAC system.
5. Buy an energy-efficient air conditioner
This seems obvious, but buying a more energy-efficient air conditioner will have the biggest influence in your costs over time. According to the Department of Energy, over half of your home energy use goes to heating and cooling. If your current system is ten years old or more, you may be able to save up to over $500 a year if you upgrade to a more energy-efficient system**. Energy saving features to think about when looking to purchase a new air conditioner include SEER rating, cooling stages and Energy Star® qualification.
One last tip
Buying a new air conditioner is a decision you’ll live with for many years to come. To make sure you get the right system, at the right cost, contact your local Trane Dealer.
