Cut cooling bills with new a/c

If your home’s cooling bill has been inching up over the years, high energy prices might not be the only culprit.

An air conditioning system that is more than 10 years old could be costing you a bundle in unnecessary cooling bill.
            Same goes for a furnace that’s 15 years old. A new one could cut your heating bill substantially.
            Heating and cooling your home accounts for more than 40 percent of your energy costs, so if you replace an older, energy-efficient air conditioning system or furnace with a modern model that uses energy more efficiency, you could save big bucks.

Energy Star estimates that you can save up to 20 percent by replacing an inefficient a/c with one that has the Energy Star label, which guarantees that it’s energy efficient. Get a unit that’s even more energy efficient, and you could cut your bills by up to half.
