If you <a href=\"\/heating\/furnaces\" target=\"_blank\">replace this furnace with a high-efficiency unit<\/a> that has such features as multi-stage burners, a multi-speed blower, and sealed combustion, you can make tremendous improvement. Some old furnaces have 80% to 95% AFUE ratings. These new high-efficiency furnaces can have up to 98% AFUE.<\/p>\n<h3>Solar Heating<\/h3>\n<p>You might look at this suggestion and think, \u201cWow, that\u2019s <em>too<\/em> big a change!\u201d But going solar can be much easier than you think. And the savings\u2026 there\u2019s nothing like using the <em>free<\/em> power of the sun. You can\u2019t get less expensive than that! We install excellent <a href=\"\/heating\/solar-heating\" target=\"_blank\">active solar heating systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Dehumidifier<\/h3>\n<p>This is something to plan for spring and summer, but it\u2019s an excellent way to lower your bills during the middle of the year. Balancing humidity with <a href=\"\/indoor-air-quality\/dehumidifier\" target=\"_blank\">a whole-house dehumidifier<\/a> can lower the amount you need to run your air conditioner over the spring and summer by 25%.<\/p>\n<h3>Energy Recovery Ventilator<\/h3>\n<p>An ERV is a way to draw fresh air into your house while at the same time recovering the energy you use to heat and cool the house and apply it to the air. This means better air quality while saving money on heating and cooling. (That\u2019s one of the big <a href=\"\/indoor-air-quality\/energy-recovery-ventilators\" target=\"_blank\">energy recovery ventilator<\/a> advantages: it\u2019s useful all year.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Want to find out more about energy-efficient appliances and other installations?
