$500 Energy Tax Credit

Minneapolis St. Paul homeowners can save up to $500 on the purchase of a new, high-efficiency furnace or combination system through the federal Energy Star Tax Credit Program. Not all heating and air conditioning products qualify, but the ones that do can save you big money in the long-term, as well, through lower heating bills.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention

Your Minneapolis St. Paul Furnace may be a threat to your family. Defective furnaces can emit deadly Carbon Monoxide fumes that can kill. There are two critical things you can do to protect your family from this odorless gas, and you should do them today.

Increase Furnace Efficiency

While regular professional furnace check-ups and furnace cleaning are very important steps in keeping your furnace trouble-free and operating efficiently, there are chores you need to handle on your own, for the same reason. Keeping the area near your furnace clean and free of flammable materials is your responsibility. It will help prolong the life of your furnace and eliminate fire risks. Just a little time spent on a regular basis will pay off in a big way.

Replace Octopus Furnaces

If your older home is heated with an inefficient bulky gravity or octopus furnace, replacing it with a modern, high-efficiency gas furnace is one of the best upgrades you can make. You will not only save hundreds of dollars every year in energy costs, but your new furnace will heat your home better and give you back wasted space. Learn more about why replacing your money-eating gravity furnace makes sense.

Central vs Window Air Conditioning

If you’re still using window air conditioning units in your Twin Cities home, you’re not getting all the comfort you deserve during the hot summer months. Adding central air conditioning to your heating system will give you cool, comfortable living, without all the noise and hassle of window units.

Gas Furnaces vs Boilers

If your older Minneapolis St. Paul home has a boiler that supplies steam or hot water to heat your home, you may have considered switching to a modern, high-efficiency gas furnace to provide forced-air heating. In many cases this conversion can be done by an experienced HVAC company like Residential Heating & Air Conditioning. There are pros & cons of making this conversion, though, and it’s not right for every home. Learn the facts about switching from a boiler to a gas furnace.
