Energy costs are rising. For most homeowners, this is not breaking news since energy costs have been consistently on the rise. As a contractor, you can do something for your clients to subside this issue with the help of ENERGY STAR®.

 

ENERGY STAR® Incentivizes Purchases

 

This year, ENERGY STAR®, the leading organization for energy efficiency and innovation, certified several of our products. The 1870 and both the 8144NC and 8145 Ventilation Systems were certified as Most Efficient 2020. The 1870 is the first whole-home dehumidifier to be awarded as Most Efficient.

 

Beyond recognizing and rewarding energy-efficiency, the ENERGY STAR® website houses rebates and incentives offered by 800 different energy companies throughout the United States. You can search the database by zip code or product to see the different rebates and incentives offered for ENERGY STAR® products in your area.

 

This database extends beyond AprilAire products and includes all other ENERGY STAR®  registered HVAC products.

 

You can also use the website to compare ENERGY STAR® products to show the customer that you are providing them with the most energy-efficient product across all of your offerings. This can be done in-home or virtually.

 

These selling tools can be used to help sway customers to purchase efficient products. Not only are you providing your clients with healthier air, but you are also providing them savings. Residential energy usage is bound to go up as more people are staying home and are relying more heavily on electronic products to occupy their time.

 

Investment in Energy-Efficiency

 

Energy companies invested $8 billion in incentives for ENERGY STAR® products and independently these products saved homeowners $35B in energy costs.

 

Pushing consumers toward more energy-efficient products helps lessen energy consumption so these energy providers do not have to build more expensive infrastructure.

 

It is worth contacting different energy companies in your area to see if other incentives and rebates are available for other AprilAire products like our smart home thermostats, humidifiers, zoning panels, and our air filters. Energy companies want to provide consumers with more efficient products and are willing to use incentives to increase these purchases.

Optimizing Indoor Air: The Role of Humidifiers in Energy-Efficient Homes

< 1 minute read

Share

Modern homes are built for maximum energy efficiency, reducing natural ventilation, and limiting the amount of dry outdoor air entering the home during the heating season. This has led to a misconception that humidifiers are unnecessary in newer homes. Research shows that without a humidifier, indoor humidity levels drop below what’s needed to maintain comfort and preserve the home. HVAC professionals play a key role in addressing this issue by recommending and installing humidifiers to ensure proper Indoor Air Quality and balanced moisture levels for customers.

The Growing Need for Better Indoor Air Quality

< 1 minute read

With 1 in 5 Americans suffering from asthma and allergies, Indoor Air Quality is a major concern. HVAC professionals play a key role in addressing this issue by recommending effective air filtration solutions.

 

Whole-Home Electronic Air Cleaners: A High-Performance Solution

Unlike standard mechanical filters, electronic air cleaners (EACs) use an electric charge to capture even the smallest airborne particles, providing superior filtration throughout the home. Installed within the HVAC system, they effectively remove allergens, dust, and other contaminants.

 

Why Recommend an Electronic Air Cleaner?

  • Higher Efficiency – EACs outperform traditional filters, especially for tiny airborne particles
  • Comprehensive Air Filtration – Integrated with the HVAC system, they clean air in every room
  • Ideal for Allergy & Asthma Sufferers – Helps reduce triggers like dust, pollen, and pet dander

 

While industry testing standards for EACs are still evolving, independent studies confirm their effectiveness. Offering whole-home electronic air cleaners gives contractors a high-value solution to improve IAQ and enhance customer satisfaction.
