Calculating Energy Savings
To help you learn more about making the best choice for your home, Day & Night™ has listed some key factors that affect heating and cooling efficiency. Remember, all Day & Night products meet or exceed federal standards for efficiency and can greatly save on energy costs, especially compared to an older, less efficient system.
Department of Energy Measurements and Standards
In 1992, the Department of Energy set up a system to measure efficiency and established efficiency standards for the heating and cooling industry. Any predated, inefficient units can be wasting your energy dollars. Remember, no product can be 100% energy efficient.
Actual savings on a new Day & Night unit depend on several variables: the weather in your area, utility costs, the insulation of your home, the installation of your existing system, and your personal comfort preferences.
Generally, if you live in a hot climate, you may benefit from a higher SEER cooling unit. If the cold outlasts the warm weather and you have above average fuel costs, you may need a higher AFUE furnace.
Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star Program
The Energy Star Program, initiated by the Department of Energy and the EPA, promotes the use of energy efficient products. Look for the Energy Star symbol on Day & Night units that rate in the high numbers of efficiency. Day & Night is manufactured by International Comfort Products, LLC Corporation (USA), a voluntary partner in this government program.
