Prep Your Home for Winter and Save $$$ on Energy Bills

Winter is an expensive time. Not only do you have all the holiday shopping hoopla to worry about, you also have to think about heating your home. Those oil and electric heating bills can get expensive, not to mention any supplemental heating you do in your fireplace. You need all the help you can get when it comes to saving money on your energy bills. Here are some ways to prepare your home for winter and save $$$:

Close off Windows and Doors

Caulking around windows will seal in the heat. This is especially necessary if you have old, drafty windows that can leak lots of precious energy. If you light a candle and place it near your windows, you’ll know you have tiny cracks if the candle flickers. It’s time to consider window replacement in the spring, especially if your windows are more than 20 years old. Close off any rooms you don’t use by shutting doors and closing vents. Why heat the guest room, finished basement, or office when you don’t use them that much? This is also the time to put your storm doors in and store the screens for winter if you haven’t already done so.

Inspect Your Furnace

Failing to do this can lead to a shorter life span for the unit as well as inefficient operation. By catching small problems before they get bigger, you are doing your part to cut down on the possibility of costly repairs. This is also the time to change your furnace filters, so stock up now so you always have some throughout the winter. Usually filters last two to three months before they need to be changed.

Reverse Ceiling Fans

There’s a little switch up at the top of your fan that you probably never noticed before. In winter, make sure your fan blades are going clockwise to keep warm air propelled downwards. In summer, switch them back to counterclockwise, which will pull the hot air up and out.

Invest in a Smart Thermostat

This way, you can control your heating throughout the day and night via your smart phone, tablet or other device, no matter where you are. Schedule your heat to kick on an hour before you’re due home from work at night. Keep it low while sleeping, as well as during the day when you’re not around. According to Energy.gov, just the simple act of turning down your thermostat 7°-10°F for eight hours a day can help you save as much as 10% a year on energy. Home automation technology is getting more and more popular with homeowners across the country, thanks to its unparalleled convenience and efficiency. Statista says the number of active households incorporating home automation technology is expected to exceed 41.3 million by 2021, with digital connection and control steadily increasing year after year.

Should You Go With Ductless AC?

If you’re thinking about installing a new AC system in your home, you may be considering something a little different: ductless AC. In a nutshell, split ductless allows you to add air conditioning to many rooms without the need for opening up walls or installing ductwork like you would with a standard central-air system, according to Consumer Reports. It’s a convenient, affordable, less invasive alternative to central AC, featuring an exterior condenser and indoor evaporator unit holding the cooling coil, fan, and controls. The addition of indoor blowers can disperse the cold air throughout rooms more efficiently.

An evaporator blower is mounted on the wall, which you can control with a remote. The benefit to having multiple units is that you can save energy through zone cooling: only cool the rooms you want and not the ones you don’t. The result? You’re saving more money on energy bills and keeping more money in your wallet. While more expensive than a window unit, split ductless AC systems are less expensive than central air. It’s the perfect solution for those looking to cool just a few rooms of their home. For whole-home cooling, central air is probably a better bet, as is a window unit for single room coverage.

Benefits

While ductless AC isn’t for everyone, if you fit the bill, this type of system can be a great complement to your home. For one thing, ductless AC is a highly flexible solution, as these types of units deliver air directly into different zones throughout the house. The result is a cost-effective alternative to inefficient window units, space heaters and electric baseboard heaters. If you like the ability to control temperatures in different rooms, ductless systems may be right for you.

Other benefits include:

Cost savings: They operate on less power, which uses less energy, which reduces your bills

Energy efficient: Use only what you need

Tax credits available: Check with the IRS for the model you want to buy and any tax credits that may go with it

Easy installation: Quick, easy installs make for less money spent on labor

Improve air quality: Multi-stage filtration cuts down on dust, bacteria, pollen, allergens and other particulates

Reduce your carbon footprint: Less impact on the environment throughout the unit’s life span

Next Generation Ductless AC by Daikin

Finding a reputable HVAC dealer who works with only the best manufacturers is key. Here at Cold Factor Heating and Air Services, we stand behind Daikin Mini split technology — the best in the industry. These wall mount systems give you energy efficiency and comfort control, available in both heat pump and cooling-only applications. They’re quiet, they’re streamlined and they complement your home décor, best for enhancing and augmenting single room cooling.

For larger rooms and multiple rooms, Daikin’s Multi-Split Systems allow you to connect two, three or four indoor units to a single outdoor unit. Choose from many combinations of wall mount units, slim duct units, and ceiling cassette units. Enjoy more comfort and energy savings for new construction or renovation home improvement projects.

Nexia Home Automation

Homes of the Future are Smarter Than You Think!

Using your smart phone to open your garage door. Checking your tablet to see if your security cameras are reporting anything suspicious. Scheduling your lights to turn on when you arrive home from work. Sounds like a science fiction concept. But no, it’s just the latest in home automation technology making an appearance in your neighborhood. No longer do you have to be home to turn on the heat, change your user code or allow someone into your home. Now, thanks to technology inherent in products such as that offered by Nexia Home Intelligence, there’s a good chance your home can become smarter than you! Cold Factor can help you connect with this burgeoning technology.

Programmable thermostats and security systems have been around for awhile now, but with home automation systems, you can control what goes on in and around your home at the touch of a button, whether your smart phone, tablet or laptop. At work? Check on the kids when they get home. Enjoying a few days away on vacation? Adjust the temperature accordingly.

What to Expect

When you incorporate a product like Nexia into your home, you combine the best of wireless technology and web access to perform never-before-heard-of feats with little hassle on your part. Let’s take a look at some things you can do with home automation products:

Adjust the temperature of your home with your web-enabled computer, smart phone or tablet.

Create, add or change private codes for all member of the family.

Get instant texts and email alerts when someone uses the code.

Set separate codes for guests or those who must use your home frequently, such as housekeepers and babysitters.

Allow people to enter your home when you are away through a state of the art keypad.

Check the status of wireless locks from wherever you are.

Program your lights to go on and off throughout the day and night.

There are just a few things you need to be able to incorporate this innovative technology into your home: broadband connection with router, computer with Internet, email address and cell phone that has a data plan with text.

Growing Technology

The technology behind home automation has taken off, with no expectations of slowing down anytime soon. According to Forbes, the global home automation industry is expected to increase from $16.9 billion in 2011 to $35.6 billion by 2016, and while only three percent of U.S. homeowners currently feature home automation systems, analysts say that percentage will hit double digits in the next few years. This growth is spurred on by the ever-rising rates of smart phone usage in the United States. A whopping 90 percent of American adults own a cell phone; of that, 58 percent have a smart phone and 42 percent have a tablet, according to Pew Research Center.

Benefits of Home Automation

Safety and Energy Efficiency

There are countless benefits to home automation technology, not the least of which is convenience. But beyond that, technology like that offered by Nexia provides peace of mind for the user. A top benefit is that of the assurance of safety via lighting and appliance controls, since you have the ability to control these two major components of your home through the push of a button, says Freshome. Don’t know if you shut the iron off? What about the your daughter’s hair straightener? Left for work and forget if you turned the oven off after breakfast? Relax. You can check all that through your device of choice. You can also control the lighting to ensure you’re not wasting electricity when you’re away from home. Or perhaps you’re going on vacation and don’t want to leave all the lights off for fear someone is observing. You can time them to go on and off at set times. Same goes for the thermostat. You can control the temperature throughout the day or night, whether you’re at work or on vacation — perfect for cutting down on those high energy bills.

Security

Perhaps one of the best features of home automation is the ability to control your door locks to guard against intruders. You can check remotely whether you remembered to lock your doors, especially when you’re not the last one out the door in the morning. This makes it easy to make sure the kids locked up before setting off on their day. You’re also alerted whenever someone gains access to your home, even when it’s someone who has entered the correct code. You can also view your security camera footage remotely to ensure no one’s on your property who shouldn’t be. In the same vein, you can check up on your kids to make sure they got home safely from school or came in on time for curfew at night. Don’t hassle with unanswered phone calls to your busy teen. Instead, the technology allows you to make sure they’re OK with the utmost convenience.

Time and Sanity Savings

How many times have you left home only to worry all the way to your destination whether you shut off the coffee maker or turned off the upstairs light? You never have to worry about those nagging concerns again with home automation. This not only saves you stress, but also your valuable time. No more rushing home to let the kids in. Instead, you can save your time — and your sanity — by handling that remotely.

As you can see, home automation systems like Nexia can give you peace of mind and help you manage your time better. If a home automation system sounds like something you would like to incorporate into your home, call the experts at Cold Factor in Lewisville today. For Home Automation we serve the entire Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, especially our main service areas Lewisville, Flower Mound and Coppell. Cold Factor can smarten up your home in no time!
