At least I know that my system is efficient
My family & I like to go on getaway for about two weeks every summer, my friend and I value the time that my wonderful friend and I get to spend with each other, then i suppose that all families should take a cut from their normal routines, get their family together & go on a getaway. It’s healthy for a family to get away & spend quality time together, then when my family & I go on getaway my wonderful friend and I like to make sure our hot water heater is off, our blinds are closed, doors are locked & Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system is set to a higher temperature so the air conditioning equipment doesn’t kick on as much. When I was near my Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system to check it out before my wonderful friend and I were leaving I saw there was an abbreviation on the sticker of my unit. I was confused because I wasn’t sure what it meant. I decided to look it up. The abbreviation was “AFUE.” This is a standardized efficiency rating. AFUE means annual fuel use efficiency, but on my equipment it study AFUE 90. This meant that I get 90 cents of usable heat for every $1 of fuel that is burned. I though that this was a wonderful ratio. At least I know that my system is efficient. Other abbreviation ratings that I saw online was, SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating), COP (Coefficient of Performance), & HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor). If you see any of these efficiency ratings on your equipment or come across them, ask your serviceman for more information… Next time I have a maintenance check up I’m going to ask about my AFUE rating.
