Wasteful Spending v. Money Well Spent

July 30th, 2009 by AJ Nahmad

Where do you draw the line between wasteful spending and money well spent?  That’s a million dollar question these days.  Well, we offer you this answer…spending money in order to save money is money well spent; using money to benefit your community, your country, and your natural environment is money well spent; and we’d hope you agree that spending money to make your family healthier and more comfortable is money well spent.

These are fundamental principles that can help us make smart decisions with our finances while times are tight.  So where does that lead us?

Well, knowing that HVAC typically accounts for about 50% of the energy consumed in a US home, weatherizing your home and upgrading to a high-efficiency heating and air conditioning system with indoor air quality features is an extremely responsible way to spend hard earned money. These upgrades to your home will save you money on your utility bills, reduce allergens and pollutants in the air your family is breathing, and reduce your family’s impact on global warming. What other purchase can make such an impact?

The Federal Government will give you up to $1,500 for these energy efficiency upgrades; State and Local governments as well as Utility companies will often chip in hundreds of dollars too.

Really we’re talking about the mission of ACDoctor.com.  We truly believe that when a homeowner upgrades his or her HVAC system it’s a win-win for their family and for the environment, and we want to connect homeowners with high-quality HVAC professionals that can help.


Its the Middle of Summer…Have You Checked Your AC’s Filter?

July 28th, 2009 by Eric Benishek

A few months back I wrote a blog letting you know that with very little investment you can help keep down your utility bills and reduce the wear and tear on your air conditioning system.   So here is my reminder…if you haven’t done so yet…change or clean your air filter today!   Savings of 5-15% is typical, simply by changing your filters regularly ( in my last blog I said at least every other month…if you can, you should change them every month).

If your not the “handy” type, many of the HVAC service companies in your community offer an ongoing maintenance service that can do this for you.  So, either get out there and change your filter or call your friendly HVAC specialist to come out and do it for you…today! 

If you’d like to learn more about filters and your air conditioning systems maintenance, AC Doctor is happy to oblige, just click here.

Your Dollars To Spend, Your Money To Save

July 8th, 2009 by AJ Nahmad

Like we’ve been saying, it is a great time to buy a new high-efficiency HVAC system.  This is not a new message, but let’s get specific…here is the money available (a “back of the envelope” calculation) for a homeowner living in Florida, serviced by Florida Power & Light, to buy a 3-ton, 16 SEER system:

Federal Tax Credit via the Stimulus Bill: $1,500
+FP&L Rebate: $585
+Carrier Cool Cash Rebate: $1,200  or similar manufacturer rebate
=Total Dollars available: $3,285!!!

This doesn’t even account for the hundreds you’ll save in monthly energy bills as a result of using a high efficiency system.

So, it’s 90+ degrees in Florida, you’re system is ancient, you’ve got hot spots in your home…what are you waiting for???

That $3,285 is yours to use!!!  Call a contractor and make your home comfortable today.  (Oh, and tell them AC Doctor sent ya)
