- According to the Environment Canada report Climate Change Plan for Canada (2), 28.7% of personal greenhouse gas emissions are from space heating, compared to 49.9% from transportation. Since there are more than twice as many vehicles as household furnace/ boilers, this means that the average furnace/boiler produces more ghg’s than the average vehicle. When you reduce the amount of natural gas you use to heat your home by a certain percentage, your ghg’s from heating should be reduced by about the same amount. Old furnace = approx. 1.5 tonnes Tankless water heaters vs old tank type = 964 lbs less CO2 The energy Canadians consume in their homes and workplaces creates greenhouse gas emissions when it involves the combustion of fossil fuels. In addition to direct emissions of 77 MT in 2000, energy consumption in buildings accounted for 57 MT of emissions from the generation of electricity from coal, oil or natural gas.

- If the furnace in your home is more than 15 years old, it’s time to consider replacing it. Typical older conventional furnaces have an AFUE of 60%, which means that 40% of the heat provided escapes up the chimney. The higher the AFUE rating, the less natural gas you will use, and the lower your heating bill will be. Old furnaces, including forced air, wall, room and floor furnaces, can have energy wasting standing pilot lights. Newer models with electronic ignition systems have an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of 92% or higher and can run up to 15% more efficiently than standard models. Not only that, you can get up to a $300 rebate on the purchase and installation of a qualified furnace. Save up to $1,615 over the product’s estimated 18 year lifetime* Save up to 66 therms per year* Help reduce greenhouse gas emissions *Savings based on installation of a more efficient furnace (94% AFUE) to replace a less efficient unit (70% AFUE) of the same size. Consider switching to a tankless water heater. Since tankless propane water heaters heat water on demand rather than storing hot water in a tank, they can lower household energy bills by up to 60 percent and save the average family 10 to 20 percent of its daily water use. And not only will you cut back on water waste, the use of propane water heaters generates 60 percent fewer earth-damaging carbon emissions than electric-powered heaters. And, as far as green house gas emissions, propane and natural gas emit less carbon dioxide than any other fossil fuels. propane tankless water heaters cost up to 60 percent less to operate than a standard electric unit.“ Each 5,000 kWh results in the release of one tonne carbon, more if your utility uses loads of coal, less if it has high hydroelectric and nuclear use. The three biggest savings could come from using the most efficient air conditioners and refrigerators, and switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs. Let’s just begin with the light bulbs. You can check out Energy Star to learn more about appliances, insulation, etc.)Heating and cooling costs the average homeowner about $1,000 a year — nearly half the home's total energy bill. If your central air conditioning unit is more than 12 years old, replacing it with an ENERGY STAR qualified model could cut your cooling costs by 30 percent. ENERGY STAR qualified central air conditioners have a higher seasonal efficiency rating (SEER) than standard models, which makes them about 14% more efficient than standard models. Want to maximize the efficiency of your existing equipment? Learn how your heating and cooling equipment, ducts, and insulation work together to maximize your home's comfort. Perform routine maintenance to keep your system working efficiently. Make sure your equipment is properly sized Know when to replace your heating or cooling system. Purchasing new equipment? To get the most out of your purchase: Ask for an ENERGY STAR qualified model. A salesperson may suggest a less efficient unit and say it is energy-efficient. Look for the ENERGY STAR. Ask your contractor to show you if it is cost-effective to replace your equipment with an ENERGY STAR. EPA's HVAC Investor software is easy for contractors to use and will help to answer your questions. See if your purchase qualifies for ENERGY STAR financing. The efficiency of your heating and cooling system depends on more than the equipment you buy. Proper sizing and installation of your equipment, installation of a programmable thermostat, sealing air ducts, and seasonal maintenance all contribute to a heating and cooling system that delivers comfort and savings. Get a quality installation.Oversized equipment can cause reduced comfort and excessive "air" noise. Oversizing will shorten the life of the equipment by causing it to cycle on and off more frequently than a properly-sized unit. Undersized equipment, with airflow that is too low, can reduce the efficiency of the air distribution and accelerate wear on system components, leading to earlier failure.

- Typical older conventional furnaces have an AFUE of 60%, which means that 40% of the heat provided escapes up the chimney. The higher the AFUE rating, the less natural gas you will use, and the lower your heating bill will be. Natural gas is by far your best alternative as a heating fuel. It's the most economical, cleanest and safest-burning fossil fuel you can buy. You can save up to 38% in energy costs over electric, and up to 6% if you currently heat with conventional oil. This amendment is included in Canada's Clean Air Regulatory Agenda: For the purposes of the Regulations, a gas-fired furnace means an automatic operating gas-fired central forced-air furnace that uses propane or natural gas and has an input rate not exceeding 65.92 kW (225 000 Btu/h). A through-the-wall gas furnace is a gas-fired furnace that is designed and marketed to be installed in an opening in an exterior wall that is fitted with a weatherized sleeve. Furnaces for use in a mobile home or a recreational vehicle are not included in the Regulations. The minimum performance level, Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE), for gas-fired furnaces with an input rate not exceeding 65.92 kW (225 000 Btu/h) shall be 90% . There is no change to the minimum performance level for furnaces intended to be installed outdoors. It will remain at 78% AFUE. This amended energy efficiency regulation for gas-fired furnaces will come into effect on December 31, 2009 . For through-the-wall gas-fired furnaces only, the regulation will come into effect on December 31, 2012. All gas-fired furnaces that have their manufacturing process completed on or after the effective date, and that are subject to the Regulation, will be required to meet the stated efficiency level.

- A zoning system is traditionally sold to increase comfort in a home or office. However, by heating/cooling a smaller portion of your home, at any given time, you will save on energy costs. Zoning systems will allow you to heat/cool only the parts of your home that are occupied at any given time of the night or day. Plus the zoned areas have a faster temperature recovery time, as all conditioned air is going to that zone. It very well could be significant energy savings without giving up comfort.

- 7 PANELS WILL OPERATE A XC17-036 unit (enough to supply a 1500 sq.ft) Uses electricity of the solar panels before using power from the utility company Extra solar power produced can be used to power other appliances the cost is approximately $10,700 to install four solar panels with the electrical. This doesn’t include fees from the utility company, if any, for tying into the grid. We have another estimate from another supplier for similar panels at approximately $20,000 for 15 panels. Most of the cost of the electrical would be the initial wiring and minimal electrical installation for extra panels (i.e. from the 4 panels to the 15), but this is still a large range and we need to look to our suppliers to see if we can find out a more accurate price. The Lennox panels are designed to install up to 15 panels per condensing unit. A few could be installed to start with and cost to add more later would be mostly the cost of the panel plus labour and materials to mount. Our electrician recommends to have the wiring capacity at the first installation for all 15 panels, then it’s just a matter of plugging the new panels into the others. The Lennox panels are designed to operate with the grid. What they do say is that 15 panels would be enough to power a two ton unit without using any power from the utility company, but they do need the grid to start the units. For safety reasons are designed to shut down if there is a grid power outage. power generated could result in savings of: 4 panels = $84.55/year, or with 15 panels = $756.00/year. performance warranty: 90% min. of rated output for 12 years, 80% min. of rated output for 25 years, the micro inverter is 15 years, solar module (excluding panel, frame, hardware) is 5 years. According to my SEER electricity cost calculator, the electricity costs from Direct Energy (not including any administration fees) of two units in your home would be approximately: - XC17 (one 3- and one 2- ton) = $168.00/year - XC13 (one 3- and one 2- ton) = $191.00/year - 13ACX (one 3- and one 2- ton) = $218.00/year propane and natural gas emit less carbon dioxide than any other fossil fuels 5,000 kWh results in the release of one tonne carbon, more if your utility uses coal
