Living in Barnstable County, MA, you know how important it is to be ready for the most extreme temperatures in any season. One easy way to protect your home, your family, and your wallet from the summer heat and winter chill is to make sure your home energy equipment is up to snuff.
Falmouth Energy installs high-efficiency heating and cooling systems so you can keep your living space comfortable while saving money all year long.
Why Upgrade to High Efficiency?
Using higher-efficiency heating and cooling systems translates to more effective energy output. This can provide significant benefits for your property, your family’s comfort, and the environment. Here are just some of the benefits:
- Savings on annual heating and cooling costs
- Improved year-round home comfort
- Reduced risk of equipment failure
- Fewer emissions
What Makes a System High Efficiency?
Each furnace or boiler’s efficiency is measured by annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE). Simply put, this rating represents how much heat the system gives off, taking into account the energy consumed by the system’s operation. Air conditioning system efficiency is measured in a similar way, using the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER).
High-efficiency heating systems most commonly share these characteristics:
- 90% to 98.5% AFUE
- Sealed combustion
- ENERGY STAR® approval
Top high-efficiency air conditioning equipment typically boasts the following:
- 20 SEER or higher
- Compatible with programmable thermostats
- ENERGY STAR® approval

When Should You Upgrade?
If your current heating or cooling system is more than 15 years old, you can save 30% to 50% on your energy bills by upgrading to new, energy-efficient appliances. Installing new equipment is particularly important if your heating system’s stack temperature is over 500° or if your A/C still uses R22 or R410-A refrigerant.
