Energy Saving Tips

Normally, 44% of your utility bill goes for heating and cooling. Whats more, heating and cooling systems in the United States together emit over a half billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, adding to global warming. They also generate about 24% of the nation's sulfur dioxide and 12% of the nitrogen oxides, the chief ingredients in acid rain. No matter what kind of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system you have in your house, you can save money and increase comfort by properly maintaining and upgrading your equipment.

But remember, an energy-efficient furnace alone will not have as great an impact on your energy bills as using the whole-house approach. By combining proper equipment maintenance and upgrades with appropriate insulation, weatherization, and thermostat settings, you can cut your energy bills and your pollution output in half.

Helpful Buyer's Guide Tips: What to look for when purchasing a NEW system

Comfort:
Sizing of an air conditioning and heating system is critical. If an air conditioning system is too big for the home, it will be humid. The cycle time will be too short not allowing the air conditioning system to sufficiently remove humidity. Humidity removal is one job of your air conditioning system. The other job is making cold air. If the air conditioning system is too small, it will not provide sufficient cooking to reach the desired temperature inside the home when outside temperatures are extreme (your house will be too hot.) For best comfort, a 2-Stage air conditioning and heating system is recommended because it provides 2 Stages of air conditioning and 2-Stages of heating to create a more even temperatured environment throughout your home.

Efficiency:
You want the most efficient system for your dollar. In Texas, our most extreme season is the hot summer season. The most important factor you should consider when purchasing a new unit is S.E.E.R. - Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. Always remember the higher the S.E.E.R. rating the higher the efficiency. The S.E.E.R. denotes the efficiency rating not the size of the unit.

Warranty / Service:
When purchasing a new system, the first year of labor is provided by the dealer not the manufacturer. The manufacturer only provides the warranty on the parts. It is important to do business with a dealer with a long-standing reputation of work history and quality service. We are locally owned and operated since 1987. Our technicians will leave you with no questions about the operation or safety of your equipment. Metro Express Service - The Right Choice.

Financing:
Approximately 98% of our customers finance their new system. The monthly cost of financing a new system will, many times, be offset by the monthly savings on the homeowner's energy bill. Once the system is paid in full, the monthly energy saving goes directly to the homeowner. Metro Express Service has a finance manager that will find the right financing plan for you.
