A Simple Hvac Heating and Cooling System Duct Test Can Save You Money

Two-thirds of all homes have leaky ducts that go undetected. These leaks can cause your energy bill to go up and affect the comfort and air quality inside your home. The good news is, repairing leaky ducts is often fairly easy and inexpensive, especially with FPL’s and Aloha Air Conditioning’s help. Here’s what you need to know about your ductwork to avoid wasting energy and money.

1. What are leaky ducts?

• When your cooling and heating duct system has leaks or holes in it, air is allowed to escape into the attic, which ends up wasting energy and costing you money.

2.  What can you do?

• Schedule an FPL Energy Expert to perform a fast, easy and affordable Duct System Test to determine if your dusts are sealed properly and if repairs need to be made.

3.  How does it work?

• Pay $30.00 for the first central A/C system to be inspected and $15.00 for each additional air handler.
• Receive a complete report of the repairs needed and then contact us at Aloha Air Conditioning (954) 772-0079 as we are a proud independent contractor who has been evaluated by FPL and have a record of good reviews from our customers.
• Get incentives from FPL to help cover the cost of repairs:

– Up to $154.00 per central A/C system for single-family detached homes.

– $60.00 for multi-family, single-family attached homes, manufactured and mobile homes.

4.  What are the qualifications for a Duct System Test?

• Single- and multi-family homes where the duct system is accessible qualify
• Multi-family homes with chimneys and gas appliances are not eligible unless there is a firewall.

5. How do you participate?

• To request a Duct System Test, simple call 1-800-DIAL FPL (1-800-342-5375), or visit them online at https://www.fpl.com/

Helping You Get the Most Energy for Your Money

Because cooling and heating your home accounts for almost half of your annual energy cost, it’s important to make sure that your A/C system is operating properly and efficiently and that your ductwork is free of leaks.

That’s why Aloha Air Conditioning offers a variety of cooling and heating solutions designed to:

• Save you money on your electric bill without sacrificing your comfort
• Improve the air quality in your home.
• Assist in the repair of your ductwork and the replacement of your A/C system.

By following these tips, you can maximize your A/C system’s efficiency while saving energy and money along the way.

Making Your A/C System Work For You

To ensure your A/C system is working as efficiently as possible, here are some things you can do to get the most for your energy dollars:

1.  Check your thermostat

• Cool your home at 78® or warmer with the thermostat fan switch on “auto.” For additional savings, raise your thermostat to 82® or warmer when you’re away from home.
• Heat your home at 68® or cooler with the thermostat fan switch on “auto.” To save even more, lower your thermostat to 65® or cooler at bedtime or when you’re away from home.
• Install a programmable thermostat to adjust the temperature automatically and maximize your energy savings. It also helps to maintain a comfortable temperature when you wake up or return home.
• When on vacation, cool your home at 85® with the thermostat fan switch on “auto”, to help prevent mildew from developing (in most homes).

2. Use fans

• Reduce your A/C costs and keep your home comfortable by using inexpensive, energy-efficient ceiling fans to circulate the air. This will allow you to set your thermostat higher and still feel cool.
• Turning off your ceiling fan when you leave the room could save you between $3-7 a month, depending on the speed, model and age of fan.
• When buying a fan, choose the right size for the room. For example:

–         10’ x 10’ room or smaller = 36” fan

–         15’ x 20’ room = 52” fan

–         Rooms larger then 15’x 20’ = two 52” fans

3. Keep your unit clean and clear

• Learn where your A/C filter is.
• Change the filter regularly using the proper size, or clean it monthly.
• Keep leaves, shrubbery and debris at least 18 inches away from your outdoor unit to avoid blocking the airflow.

4. Maintain proper airflow through your system

• Keep the interior doors and vents open to help your A/C circulate air more efficiently.

5. Keep sunlight out during summer months

• Close your blinds, drapes and shades during the hottest time of day

6. Install or upgrade insulation

• Install or upgrade insulation in your home, especially if it was built before 1982, to help reduce your cooling costs and make your home more comfortable.

7. Consider buying a new A/C unit

• If your system is over 10 years old, has undergone frequent repairs and still doesn’t keep your home cool, it may be time to purchase a new unit.
• FPL’s A/C Program can help you when shopping for a new system. Call us for a copy of the free A/C Buying Guide to help you buy a high-efficiency system that’s right for your home.

8. Maintain and service your unit regularly

• Maintain and service your unit regularly to help your unit run more efficiently

Hvac Heat System Repairs and Maintenance

Normally in the past, we never paid much mind to heating here in South Florida as we only really heated our homes or offices less than 72 hours a year. This past winter, in early January, we broke that old fact and turned up the temperature on our thermostats as the temperatures outside shot down. We are the best heating service company. Contact us (954) 772 0079 today and we will prove it to you.

Well here we go again, not even a year has passed and we are doing it again. Let us help you stay safe and warm. Some people had found that they never even had their heaters installed or connected. Some even found out that the wire size in their home was not sufficient to handle any heater of any size. 

If you find yourself left out in the cold by your prior a/c heating service company or the guy down the street that was doing you a favor, don’t worry, we will gladly be the companyto come to the rescue and ensure that you are safe and warm to make it comfortably thought the rest of what we anticipate to be a harsh season here in South West Palm Beach, Broward and North Miami-dade counties.

Proud to be South Florida’s Best Heating Service!

Give us a call (954) 772 – 0079 now. We promise to treat you right.
