It does not matter where we are; we all like to be comfortable with the temperature – not too hot in summer and nowhere near cold in winter. When we are out of doors, we have only our choice of clothing to achieve these comfort zone desires; but, once we get inside any place or building, we not only expect, we demand, that the air temperature be such that we neither have to strip off in summer nor wrap up for winter. In most cases, we get our way in this thanks to heating and air conditioning in Knoxville, TN.
Great For Those Who Enjoy The Comfort
But all this warming up and cooling down comes at considerable expense and this can become a real problem for the person who has to pay for it all. Hopefully, not too many of us experience quite this extreme; but, imagine the following scenario.
It’s a mid-summer weekend at a typical suburban house; dad is outside mowing the back yard and somewhat sweaty when he hears loud pop music coming from his off-spring’s bedroom window. He storms inside and goes to that bedroom; on barging through the door, he is hit by two things – a blast of loud music and a blast of icy cold air. The beloved off-spring has set the hi-fi volume to maximum, the air-con fan to maximum and the thermostat to minimum. Is he happy that, under these conditions and, with the window open, he is not only paying good money to try and cool down the whole neighborhood but, he is also paying for them to enjoy a free pop concert! The moral of this is either close the window or turn off the air conditioner if you do not want to waste money (the free concert is another matter).
Intelligent Use
Once the dad in the above example has cooled down and trained his family in the economic use of the summer air-con (and the winter heating); you might think that his power bills for Heating and Air Conditioning In Knoxville TN would drop back to more reasonable levels. Unfortunately, that may not always be the case. Worn machinery of any kind does not run efficiently and wastes power. Even old equipment that has been regularly serviced and well maintained might not incorporate the latest energy saving technology. Anyone who feels they are paying too much for heating and air conditioning in Knoxville, TN should call in an expert to assess the situation.
All systems for heating and air conditioning in Knoxville, TN should be regularly serviced and possibly upgraded from time to time. To make sure that you are getting the best out of your system, you can always get helpful advice from Cantrell’s Heat & Air.
