Lower energy costs with Friedrich
With energy costs consistently rising, it’s more important than ever to help your customers save money on heating and cooling without sacrificing comfort. That’s where Friedrich comes in – The Friedrich Endeavor line includes ENERGY STAR® certified models within the new efficiency standards.
WHY ENERGY STAR?
ENERGY STAR certified ducted or ductless air conditioning is an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly way to keep homes comfortable. ENERGY STAR certified air conditioners have higher seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) and energy efficiency ratio (EER) ratings.
WHAT QUALIFIES A SYSTEM AS ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED?
Equipment with a 16 SEER rating or above is considered ENERGY STAR certified. Click here to see more helpful information about certification criteria for different kinds of equipment.
WHAT ABOUT HEATING EQUIPMENT?
A central air conditioner needs a blower motor – which is usually part of the furnace – to blow the cool air through the duct system. The only way to ensure that your customers’ new air conditioner performs at its rated efficiency is to replace the heating system at the same time. It’s especially recommended if the furnace is over 15 years old. If they purchase a new energy-efficient air conditioner but connect it to an older furnace and blower motor, the system will not perform to its rated efficiency.
ARE THERE REBATES FOR USING ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED EQUIPMENT?
Not only can ENERGY STAR certified equipment save customers money on energy costs, they can also earn up to $1,000 in local utility rebates for upgrading to an ENERGY STAR certified system.
