2 Easy secrets to a comfortable home & lower utility bills

1) Prevention: In the Pensacola climate, you can save plenty of cash & keep a more comfortable home if you plan ahead & take advantage of the seasonal check up that most companies offer, (usually at a discount), going into the hot summer season. Having your system inspected & cleaned is like the old saying “an ounce of prevention & a pound of cure”. My Family recently had a tranny problem on our Honda Odyssey van that we let slide by for a couple of months, now we have a lot more ($$$) expensive problem! The lesson is “PAY ATTENTION” ! Hey, the HVAC system is the most costly system in your home ~ and it falls under that “Outta Sight, Outta Mind” category ~ plus its unbearable when you don’t have it running properly. So Plan Ahead Don’t be unhappy in the summer heat- Call Now

2) Monitor Humidity & Temperature: The easiest way to save money and to live comfortably is keep a close eye on the humidity level in the home. For each and every degree of temperature you raise your thermostat this summer season, you can save 10% on your utility bill ~ this is according to research by Gulf Power. “But how do I raise temp & still stay comfortable?” The secret is to lower humidity. If you can keep the moisture out it will still be fresh & crisp at a higher temp. The worst thing in the world for a high humidity problem is an A/C unit that is too big for the home. The secret is longer run times & a properly sized A/C system. An insider knows that the problem is usually in the duct system if the A/C equipment is cooling; this means look elsewhere ~like in the Attic!
Listen, if this sounds good to you, maybe we should talk. We are giving away a nice humidity monitor as part of this month’s ethical bribe. E-mail us or “friend us” on Facebook with a humidity comment & we’ll put your name in the drawing for a FREE humidity monitor ($20 value). If your humidity is out of whack or you aren’t comfy in the evening when the heat of the day is gone. Maybe, we can help! Remember, a true test is better than a guess & you can take that to the bank!
