Saving energy is a great New Year's resolution, and Trane can help. A few thought starters on energy savings: • You'll save about three percent of your heating costs for every degree you lower your thermostat during winter months • Installing a programmable thermostat will shave about 10 percent off of your heating and cooling bills, according to the Alliance to Save Energy. The average annual savings is about $100 and programmable thermostats often pay for themselves in two years or less • A professional to tune up your furnace system every year for oil-fired systems, every two years for gas furnaces and three years for heat pumps - will increase the life of the system, improve energy efficiency, reduce pollutants and save money • If your furnace other major appliances, such as heat pumps, are more than 10 years old, it may make sense to replace them with newer, more energy-efficient models • An energy efficient gas furnace with a Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to a 96.7 percent, exceeds the government's minimum AFUE rating for furnaces and boilers by nearly 20 percent, and could save you up to 40 percent on energy consumption and, in turn, lowering your energy bills And on how Trane can help: • The Trane XL19i is among the highest energy efficiency air conditioners available today and its Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of up to 19.5 exceeds the minimum efficiency of 13 set by the Department of Energy. A SEER rating of up to 19.5 can mean a saving of up to 59 percent on a family’s annual energy bill, if the system it’s replacing is 10 years or older • The Trane XV95 is the market’s most efficient gas furnace and the first to attain up to a 96.7 percent Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency rating, which is nearly 20 percent higher than the government minimum standard. By installing an efficient furnace, consumers can save themselves up to 40 percent on energy consumption Let me know if you’re interested in more information... Thanks for your time! Thank you, Jillian Hello Remodelers,

I work with Trane Heating & Cooling, and thought you might be interested in some information on saving energy- especially in a time where we’re all looking to save wherever we can! Saving energy is a great New Year’s resolution, and Trane can help.
