50% of your yearly utility bills can be directly credited towards cooling and heating your home. Yes, half of your utility
bills are thanks to your air conditioner and furnace. That’s a lot of money, and a lot of spent energy! Air conditioners
alone account for 1/6 of this country’s electrical consumption! That means just to cool our homes, tons of pollution is
emitted into the environment.
Thankfully, there are a few products available that can reduce your dependence on your air conditioner. EcoBright Room Recirculation Fans and EcoBright Home Recirculation Systems use only 1/10 of the electricity your air conditioner does. Yet each device can make you feel as much as 10 degrees cooler in your home. They can greatly reduce how many days you turn your A/C on and how low you turn down your thermostat!
By installing an EcoBright Room Recirculation Fan in rooms where you spend the majority of your time, you can reduce your energy bills by 40% in the summer. As an added bonus, they can reduce your bills by 10% in the winter, too!
An EcoBright Room Recirculation Fans requires 1/10 of the amount of energy it costs to operate even the smallest of air conditioners. That’s why it compliments your A/C so well. You can set your thermostat roughly 8-9 degrees warmer, and not feel a difference in the comfort level of a room with a Room Recirculation Fan in it. And with every degree you turn up that thermostat, you’re saving between 3-5% on your cooling costs! The dollar savings can mount into the thousands over time.
Most homeowners always debate on when to turn on their air conditioner. Early heat waves in the spring or late ones in the fall can force you to keep your A/C running more than anticipated. The more often its running, the more you’re paying in utility bills.
When you can have an EcoBright Home Recirculation System installed in your home, you can wave good bye to this constant debate. In fact, an EcoBright Home Recirculation System can take the place of your air conditioner in many instances. If nothing else, depending upon your A/C use, it could reduce your cooling expenses by $500 to $1,800 each year.
The EcoBright Home Recirculation System is installed in your attic, and when it’s turned on, it sucks fresh air from the outdoors into your home. It can lower the overall temperature of your home 5-10 degrees. And it uses 90% less electricity than even the most energy efficient A/C.
An added benefit of having an EcoBright Home Recirculation System is the constant supply of fresh air that it brings into your home. According to environmental experts, due to chemicals in carpet, paints, and finishes, your home is filled with pollutants. It’s actually 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. By having a Home Recirculation System, you reduce your exposure to these chemicals.
