Most homeowners are on the lookout for ways to make their heating and cooling systems more efficient. Their goals are to save money on their electricity bills and reduce their home’s environmental impact. Here are three green heating and cooling solutions HVAC contractors can install for you.

Upgrade Your House With These Green Heating & Cooling Solutions 

1. Radiant Floor Heating

Radiant floor heating works by sending heated water—up to 150 degrees—through a series of coils installed under the floors of your home. The water heats up your home’s floors, which will allow you to turn down or even shut off your heater. This unique technology uses very little electricity and is perfect for urban locales as well as more rural properties. Floor heating can also improve the air quality in your home because it doesn’t have any air ducts, which can release potential contaminants and allergens into the air.

2. Ductless Air Conditioners

The U.S. Department of Energy noted that 30 percent of the electricity used by traditional air conditioners is lost while the cool air travels through the air ducts. You can make your home’s cooling system more efficient by having HVAC contractors install ductless air conditioning units. These smaller, more efficient units provide zoned cooling, keeping your home comfortable in the summer. You can also increase energy efficiency by installing a smart thermostat, which allows you to change your home’s temperature using your smartphone.

3. Heat Pumps

Consider working with HVAC contractors to install a heat pump to cool and heat your home year-round. These unique devices bring warm air inside in the winter and expel hot air outdoors in the summer. The U.S. Department of Energy announced that homeowners could save up to 50 percent on their electricity bills by installing heat pumps.
