Bruce BermannFebruary 17, 2021.Had Efficient replace a humidifier and tune up furnaces the other week. Nothing but good things to say about the experience-timely, accurate, complete. Definitely recommended.
Troy SuarezJanuary 13, 2021.The tech arrived on time and was very friendly. I got a text from their automated service that told me the tech was on his way so I didn’t have to sit around and wait. He serviced my furnace and garage heater and explained what he did when the job was done. They also provided recommendations for a chimney issue that was outside their expertise. Will definitely be using them again.
Colleen HuberDecember 17, 2020.Absolutely phenomenal service! Chris has assisted me twice, he’s incredibly professional and knowledgeable!! Matt has assisted me once and he’s also incredibly professional and knowledgeable! Both men are kind and considerate! Absolutely wonderful service! Always on time! Always a joy to work with! They’re simply the best!!
Alan LubowNovember 28, 2020.Good Value. Quality Workmanship. Reliable Forced air Gas Furnace at a fair price. We were referred to Efficient Heating and Cooling from a neighbor. We received two quotes: one for an updated version of our 30-year old furnace and one for 95% efficient furnace. The costs were in line with industry standards so we went with the 95% efficient furnace from Efficient Heating based on our neighbor’s recommendation. The installation went as planned; the workmanship on the sheet metal and air intake and exhaust vending was spot-on. From start to finish it’s just what you expect - quality work, quality product, fair price.
Karen LavinNovember 27, 2020.They cleaned the furnace and caught a damaged part causing our humidifier to not work. We were unaware of the problem. They fixed it in no time and everything is working more efficiently now.
Jason AltNovember 19, 2020.Justin and his team were great. Very nice and easy to work with, and they went the extra mile to track down and solve my furnace problem. I will definitely use them again in the future.
joe smithNovember 7, 2020.Informative. Matt came by and walked us through everything. Explains how our system works and what may cause problems. Expert advice was offered and we felt comfortable with the entire service along the way. Justin and Chris did the install efficiently and clean. I was happy to hear back from for a follow up.
Smart Thermostats
A thermostat might seem to be a basic feature of your home, but it can have a big impact on your energy bills. Did you know that the right thermostat can help you save up to 10% on heating and cooling costs per year? In fact almost half of monthly energy costs are controlled by your thermostat so a smart thermostat can help reduce your energy bills.
Thanks to the Internet and the digital revolution, you can now turn down the heat, turn on the lights, adjust the shades, and lock the doors simply by tapping a phone app or talking to a digital assistant. Smart thermostats has changed the way we work with home heating and air conditioning. They intelligently adapt beyond manual programming to learn and identify ideal settings for greater efficiency, create energy usage reports, and even alert you when it’s time for routine maintenance.
You can easily control your comfort settings, and set or change your schedule remotely via phone app or wi-fi connection. Some of the key pieces of information to know are:
- Know Your Equipment & Your Wiring
- Choose Your Type and Identify Compatibility
- Understand the Installation Process
During the heating season, you may set your thermostat to a cooler temperature while you are away so you do not waste energy (and money). To do this, you might program your thermostat to come on a few minutes before you arrive home or you might just manually turn up the heat. What if you could use your phone to tell your thermostat you were on your way home? Or what if your thermostat could sense when you were close to home and calculate the optimal time to make your home warm and cozy for your arrival?
There are so many types, and brands of thermostats on the market, and not all of them may suit your home’s equipment and wiring. With some solid research, however, it is possible to find a thermostat that can keep your energy bills at a minimum. If you use a smart thermostat in your home, you can remotely monitor your home’s temperature. You can do so using your smartphone or your computer! Depending on the smart thermostat, you can adjust heating and cooling in different rooms.
What Smart Thermostat Is Best For My Home?
The ecobee and Nest are widely considered the best two smart thermostats available. If you read just about any smart thermostat review, you’ll see these two almost always come out on top. Both of them, however, come with their unique sets of advantages and disadvantages. If you want to select the correct product, you need to carefully compare their offerings and purchase the one that’s most suitable for you. At Efficient Heating & Cooling we recommend the Ecobee. Here are some details of why.
Ecobee – HIGHLY Recommended
Features
Heightened Senses
Ordinary thermostats read the temperature in just one room—usually the front hallway. Understandably, they can struggle to deliver comfort in the rest of the home.
Pair your ecobee smart thermostat with up to 32 sensors to detect both temperature and occupancy throughout your home. Each SmartSensor you add increases your smart thermostat’s ability to deliver comfort in the rooms that matter most and better balance out hot or cold spots.
Introducing eco+
eco+ is a free upgrade exclusive to SmartThermostat with voice control customers that works in the background to deliver maximum energy efficiency and comfort with minimal effort on your part. Learn more about eco+.
Smart Home & Away
Smart Home & Away detects occupancy to automatically adjust your thermostat to save energy when you leave home and restore your comfort settings when you return.
Follow Me mode
The occupancy sensors in your smart thermostat and SmartSensor(s) detect which rooms are in use and adjust the home temperature accordingly for comfort in those rooms. Over time, your ecobee thermostat learns your family’s occupancy habits and automatically adjusts the temperature for smarter comfort and further savings.
Smart Recovery
With the Smart Recovery feature enabled, your ecobee thermostat uses local weather information, your occupancy habits, and an ongoing analysis of your HVAC system’s heating and cooling patterns so that it’s always the right temperature at the right time.
Thermal Protect
Keep your home comfortable and prevent your HVAC system from excessive runtime with Thermal Protect. With it enabled, your ecobee thermostat will ignore a sensor when its readings diverge from those of your other sensors beyond a certain customizable limit. (This can sometimes happen when a sensor is placed in a room that tends to get hotter (e.g. attic) or cooler (e.g. the basement) than the rest of the home.)
Home IQ
Shows you how much energy you’ve conserved each month and gives you valuable insights into your heating and cooling equipment. It’s like a home energy audit at no additional cost!
Alerts & Reminders
ecobee thermostats carefully monitor your heating and cooling equipment’s performance and will let you know when your system needs servicing or maintenance.
AC Overcool to Dehumidify
If you don’t have a dehumidifier hooked up to your heating and cooling system, your smart thermostat will use your air conditioner to lower indoor humidity.
Robust staging options
ecobee thermostats are optimized for use with multistage heating and cooling equipment. They will engage the higher stage when the indoor temperature is far from the desired temperature and switch back to the lower stage as it gets closer to your desired temperature. You can also control staging using advanced setting options.
Optimal Humidity
In homes with humidifiers, your ecobee thermostat will regulate indoor humidity to prevent frost build-up on windows when it’s cold outside and indoor humidity is high.
Fan Dissipation
After a system heating or cooling cycle, your ecobee smart thermostat will run the fan to get the most heating or cooling and dehumidification out of your equipment.
Free Cooling
In homes with ventilators, when your ecobee smart thermostat recognizes the telltale temperature drop of a cool summer evening, it uses the outside air instead of your air conditioner to cool down your home.
Compatible with most HVAC systems
ecobee thermostats are compatible with most HVAC systems, including radiant heating systems, multistage, and dual-fuel heat pumps.
