The Benefits of Using an ENERGY STAR® Furnace or Air Conditioner

Choosing an ENERGY STAR® certified furnace or air conditioner isn’t just about keeping your home comfortable—it’s a smart investment in your energy use, monthly bills, and even the environment. 

At My Fireplace, we help homeowners in London and surrounding areas find efficient, reliable heating and cooling solutions. Whether you’re upgrading your furnace or considering a new air conditioning, here’s why ENERGY STAR models are worth considering.

1. Lower Energy Bills 

ENERGY STAR certified systems are built to operate more efficiently than standard models. A high-efficiency furnace can use up to 15% less energy, while air conditioners can save you up to 20% on cooling costs. Over time, those savings can really add up—especially during our cold Ontario winters and hot, humid summers. 

2. Better Comfort, All Year Long 

Modern ENERGY STAR furnaces and air conditioners offer better temperature control and more consistent airflow. Features like variable-speed motors and smart thermostats help maintain even temperatures without the hot or cold spots you might get with an older system. 

3. Reduced Environmental Impact 

ENERGY STAR certified products use less energy, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It’s a practical way to lower your carbon footprint without compromising on comfort. When you upgrade your home’s HVAC system, you're making a positive step toward a more sustainable future. 

4. Increased Home Value 

Upgrading to an ENERGY STAR furnace or air conditioner can increase your home's resale value. Today’s buyers are more energy-conscious than ever, and energy-efficient upgrades are an attractive selling feature. 

5. Eligibility for Rebates 

ENERGY STAR systems often qualify for government rebates and local incentives. These programs can help offset installation costs, making it even more affordable to upgrade. Our team can help you navigate current rebates available in Ontario.
