Save up to $700 When You Upgrade to ENERGY STAR® Certified Home Heating Equipment

The Benefits of ENERGY STAR Certified Heating Equipment

The average annual bill for a home equipped with a gas furnace and central air is about $875, which is roughly 43% of a year’s total energy spending.* A properly installed and maintained energy-efficient certified boiler or furnace can help you lower your energy use and save money. ENERGY STAR certified boilers use about 5% less energy than standard models, while ENERGY STAR certified furnaces are about 15% more efficient.*
