Both Kansas and Missouri customers are eligible for a special rate when you install a heat pump. A heat pump does the job of both a traditional furnace and air conditioner. It extracts heat from where it's not needed and moves that heat either indoors or outdoors. In the wintertime, heat is collected from the outside air or ground and transferred into the home. Today's heat pumps deliver greater year-round comfort, at less cost, than any other home heating or cooling device.
Ceiling fans can help circulate warm air in the winter and cool air in the summer.
But while circulating air may make you feel slightly more comfortable, ceiling fans have no effect on the efficiency of your air conditioner or heating system. They can, however, help distribute warm and cool air more evenly which should allow you to increase your thermostat setting in the summer or decrease it in the winter. That depends on the size of your home. An air conditioner that is too large will incur unnecessary operating costs and an undersized unit won't cool your home efficiently. The best way to determine the proper air conditioner size is to have a qualified cooling contractor perform a cooling load calculation on your home.
