If you think you need a new air conditioner, or you have other energy concerns in your house, Walton EMC offers their customers a free home energy audit.
I received great advice, and found out that we didn't really need a new air conditioning unit (although a new one would be nice)...we had some gaps in our duct work. I needed a service call from Hixon HVAC anyway, so I called them and the fee for service was $60 and the fee for fixing the ducts was $50. Our air conditioner works with so much more efficiency now - we can really feel strong forces of air flowing. It was definitely money well spent, considering that one air conditioning company we called recommended replacing our entire duct work system!
The latest newsletter from Walton EMC says that "if 20 percent of the conditioned air escapes from the ducts of your HVAC system, its efficiency is decreased by 50 percent. That means you're spending twice as much as necessary to make your home comfortable."
They also say that you are not off the hook just because your house is new. New homes often have poorly installed ductwork.
