Optimizing HVAC efficiency requires understanding system performance, implementing smart controls, and making strategic upgrades. The interactive calculator below helps you evaluate different upgrade scenarios and calculate potential savings.

Use the calculator to input your current system details and explore various upgrade options. Each scenario shows annual savings, payback period, and return on investment to help you make informed decisions.

Essential Efficiency Strategies

🔧 Maintenance & Optimization

•Regular Maintenance: Annual tune-ups can improve efficiency by 5-10%
•Air Filter Replacement: Clean filters reduce energy use by up to 15%
•Seal Ductwork: Proper sealing prevents 20-30% of energy loss
•Insulation: Proper attic and wall insulation reduces heating/cooling loads

💡 Smart Technology Integration

•Programmable Thermostats: Set-back temperatures save 10-25% annually
•Zoning Systems: Heat/cool only occupied areas for 15-20% savings
•Smart Sensors: Occupancy detection prevents wasted energy
•Weather Integration: Adjust settings based on outdoor conditions
