Geothermal Power Up by 5% in 2012

March 7, 2013

Geothermal Power Currently there is a 30% tax credit for the installation of a geothermal system.  According to the Geothermal Energy Association, installed geothermal capacity grew by 5% in the United States in 2012. This growth builds on the already growing trend of geothermal usage over the past decade. However, in order for this trend to last, the government needs to continue its support of these programs by the continuation of tax credits and by its support of geothermal research and development. As of the first week in March 2013, geothermal industry leaders and government officials met in Washington, D.C. to discuss how they should move the geothermal industry forward. Currently there is a 30% tax credit for the installation of a geothermal system. This tax credit is available through the end of 2016. In addition to this, many states have extra incentives available for the installation of residential geothermal systems. St. Louis Geothermal Installation Scott-Lee Heating Company is dedicated to giving you quality customer service and reliable geothermal system maintenance and installation throughout the St. Louis Metro Area.

How Beneficial Is Geothermal Heating and Cooling?

February 22, 2013

A geothermal system will cut costs by as much as 70%. Geothermal systems have become one of the most popular heating and cooling systems in recent years. As oil and electricity prices have risen, they have gained a sizable place in the market, thanks in large part to their ability to cut heating costs. Another reason for their popularity is because of a 30% tax credit that will end in 2016. If these oil and electricity costs are treating you like a jilted friend, then find comfort in the arms of geothermal. These types of systems will have initial upfront costs, but pay off themselves in the long run, usually in two to ten years. A geothermal system will cut costs by as much as 70%, and the longer they operate, the better the savings and more money in the bank. When used in cooling mode, the electrical usage is reduced by 20% to 50% compared to traditional heating and cooling systems. Another good side to this form of green energy is its durability and low maintenance. The underground piping often has long-term warranties associated with it, and if installed properly is a worry off your shoulders. The few mechanical...

Customer Survey Review

February 8, 2013

Customer Survey Review Scott-Lee Heating Company is proud to be a Premier Lennox Dealer in the St. Louis area. A recent customer satisfaction survey was completed by Dan R. of Wildwood, Missouri. Out of a possible 40 points, Dan gave us 40 points! He also posted this comment, “My installation went perfectly. I called Scott-Lee Heating after getting one bid from a contractor who could not install until the end of the week – three days away. Forecasted temps were for the low teens for several days. At 7:40 AM, Scott-Lee said they had the furnace in stock and could install that day. At 9:00 AM the furnace was delivered, and by 1:00 PM the furnace was installed, with the old furnace removed. My recently remodeled basement with a narrow ninety-degree turn stairway looked perfect. By 2:00 PM the house was warm again. Thank you Scott-Lee for excellent response, professional service, and for beating the first bid by $100.00.” We appreciate our customers and the feedback they leave for us.

Warmth In Your Home For Less

February 4, 2013

The Different Ways to Reduce Your Energy Bill American families are using more energy and spending more money to pay for heating a larger space for fewer people. Don’t let the cold winter temperatures get you down! Even though it feels like it, winter doesn’t have to be all about shivering nights curled up under a blanket. With the proper insulation, you can keep the chill off your back and still enjoy a cozy home. Here’s everything you need to know about reducing your energy bill so that you can stay warm this winter without breaking the bank. Use Your Wall Heater Winter is the perfect time to give your wall heater some extra love, especially if you still have open floor space in your home, like an open basement. It typically runs on electricity, so all you need is enough outlets to keep it powered. Use it to keep yourself warm when you can’t get into your house (like overnight), or use it to heat the water in your garden once you’ve got everything planted. You can also bypass the heating element entirely by using a cool-to-the-touch wall heater. These are little electric heaters that are specifically designed for...

Minimize Energy Loss in HVAC Duct Work – St. Louis HVAC

December 21, 2012

We are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality and most energy-efficient heating systems. Many duct systems lose a considerable amount of energy due to leakage and poor insulation. It is estimated that leaky ductwork can lose 20-40% of heating energy. This results in higher energy bills, inconsistent heating of the rooms in your home, and poor indoor air quality. However, changes and updates to your heating and cooling air ducts can reduce heat loss in your HVAC system. When duct systems are well-designed and efficient, they distribute air properly and keep air from leaking. However, even ducts that are properly sealed and insulated can still lose some heat. In newer energy-efficient homes, the air duct systems are being placed within the conditioned space of the home. There are many types of supply duct configurations. No matter where they are placed, air ducts need to be well sealed. Duct System Maintenance In some cases, it is just a matter of making sure furniture is not blocking the airflow through the registers. You may also try vacuuming the registers in case dust has built up in them. However, simple maintenance may not be enough. Rooms that lack sufficient airflow may need new air...
