The government has recently extended the tax credits for new energy-efficient equipment through 2011. This makes right now an awesome time to purchase new heating and cooling equipment for your home. The qualifying equipment for the tax credits and utility rebates will save you money in two ways: the reduction of the amount you pay on your monthly utility bills and a discounted price on the new equipment.

Homeowners here in the Twin Cities often ask whether they need to have an annual service check-up for their heating and cooling systems. Experienced HVAC contractors will generally explain that the annual service check can protect the health of your home comfort system, much like an annual physical will keep your body healthy.

If you haven’t been maintaining your home comfort system, most likely your utility bills are much higher than they need to be. Your air conditioning and heating systems may not work as well as they used to. Your A/C could be heading for an inconvenient and expensive breakdown this summer, just when you need it most here in the Twin Cities metro area. Worst of all, your system may need to be replaced years sooner than it should down the road.
