Over the past 10 years, technology and ipads have truly changed the way we work, play, and live, but technology in our cabin has equally been changed while we were in this time… My family and I have had a heat pump in our cabin for the past 15 years, however during the last few years, the weekly energy costs have skyrocketed.
I attributed the greater bills to the age and wear and tear on my heat pump and A/C.
When we decided to replace the old inefficient equipment, our company suggested updating to a equipment with a higher SEER rating. The SEER rating on an Heating, Ventilation and A/C unit is absolutely pressing. This number reflects the amount of energy efficiency the equipment will have compared to others. The old heat pump in our cabin had a SEER rating of 8. It was top-of-the-line back in its day, but now the best machines have a SEER rating of 21. My wifey and I upgraded to a equipment with a SEER rating of 16, and since we do not live in a temperature where the A/C has to run constantly, we didn’t need a higher seasonal energy efficiency rating; Both of us have noticed a lot of swings since having the new heat pump installed. The difference has been love night and day… Our energy costs have harshly dropped. The two of us spend an average of 20% less each week. The two of us also love the air quality much more, because it is cool and crisp with less humidity, updating to better Heating, Ventilation and A/C technology has improved our bills and our quality of life.
