Heating and Cooling in Denver Homes: Ensuring Good Indoor Air Quality


Today’s Denver consumers are product-savvy. Before they part with their hard-earned money for a new HVAC unit, they first make sure to look into factors like energy efficiency and maintenance requirements. Once they assess the different facets of their HVAC options, they are ready to make the purchase. Unfortunately, no matter how high a unit’s energy efficiency rating is, it will be a waste if it was installed incorrectly. A recent survey by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NSIT) reveals that a large number of HVAC efficiency issues are due to installation errors. Overall, these installation mistakes increase household energy consumption by 30 percent.

Denver Heating Equipment Selection: The Important Factors to Consider

Before saying “Sayonara!” to an existing furnace, however, homeowners should first make an assessment of their household’s required heating capacity and fuel or power source so they can decide on a suitable replacement option. If homeowners decide to go with a gas-burning unit, they should first study the market since costs of oil, gas, and other fossil fuels tend to fluctuate depending on conditions.
