A 13% electric rate is proposed for next spring on top of a recent one. Aside from turning off lights when you leave the room, what can be done to reduce the impact on your budget?   Top three energy users are heating, cooling, and hot water (according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration). The good news? Mechanical Extremes can be your money-saving friend.

New HVAC systems are built to save.  Mechanical Extremes, as an authorized Carrier dealer, can take efficiency and home-comfort to new levels.  By the way, did you know that Carrier invented air conditioning?

Here’s a real-life story.  A customer said it was hard to keep the house cool in the summer, and he worried that his 19-year old furnace might give out at the wrong time.  He invested in a new Carrier Infinity system from Mechanical Extremes.  His reaction? “I use to save by using the old AC only when I couldn’t stand the heat anymore.  Then, I would crank it.”  And when the new system was installed?  “The second summer, I stopped turning the system on and off.  I just let it run at 74 degrees.  My bill was actually less, and both floors of the house were more comfortable.”  Among other high-tech innovations, this Carrier system saves by dehumidifying when full-on air conditioning is not necessary.  The result?  Less power used and greater comfort.
