Posted on January 18, 2017 January 13, 2017 by Renee Huepper	
Is it time to replace that aging HVAC equipment in your home? This might not be the best news you’ve received lately, but there is always a silver lining. Not only can new equipment (i.e. furnace, heat pump or air conditioner) be much more energy efficient, saving you money every month, but two fantastic national and local promotions can help you save big time on initial cost.
American Standard HVAC Trade-In Offer
Beginning January 1 through March 15, 2017, residential customers that choose American Standard replacement equipment for both the indoor, outdoor and control units of their homes may qualify for a rebate up to $1000. That can be significant savings when replacing HVAC equipment. There are certain requirements, and installation must be completed within 30 days of purchase.
LES Sustainable Energy Program Offer
LES utilities has another great offer for Lincoln, NE residents. Starting January 1, 2017, with a total balance of $2,000,000 in funds, LES is providing incentive payments to customers replacing existing HVAC equipment or buying for a newly built home. Heat pumps and air conditioner units that meet certain efficiency standards and are installed by a qualified contractor can yield incentive payments of $200 to $400. These incentives will be available until the promotional balance has been depleted.
Benefit from Both Offers with Bill’s
Customers that choose Bill’s Heating & Air Conditioning can take advantage of both of these great programs at the same time when the right equipment is purchased.… Read More

﻿﻿4 Home Winter Preparation Tips
Posted on December 27, 2016 November 26, 2019 by Renee Huepper	
Winter can be tough on your home in many ways. Frigid temperatures affect the interior and exterior. Snow and sleet storms create wear and tear. And closing up our houses tight can cause other issues that can affect your family’s health and wellbeing. There are things you can do to help ease the pain the colder seasons cause. Small efforts in winter preparation can save your pocketbook, your health, and ward off disasters.
Window and Door Preparation – If we could see air with the naked eye and watch it continually seep through our windows and doors, we might realize all the money and energy wasted. By removing screens and replacing them with storm windows and doors, less heat will slip through the cracks. Sealing edges inside and out with caulk is an addition step that keeps hot air in and cold air out.
HVAC Maintenance – Your furnace has been resting all summer long. As temperatures plummet, it fires up and is expected to run smoothly all through winter. As with any machine containing multiple moving parts, your HVAC system requires maintenance. Scheduling an annual tune-up not only keeps things running well all season but can increase efficiency and reduce energy bills. Avoiding a very cold morning is also an added benefit.

Furnace Repair – What you really need to know
Posted on October 12, 2016 October 9, 2016 by Renee Huepper	
Fall ushers in cooler temperatures and crisp air. Leaves begin to fall; football crowds gather and everything comes in pumpkin spice flavor. It’s a magical time of year that slowly transitions into a colder, often arctic winter. This is the time of year when your air conditioner begins to hibernate, and your furnace comes alive and takes center stage. Many of us don’t think twice about our home heating until the first day we need it. We set our thermostats a few degrees warmer and assume all will work perfectly. Typically furnaces don’t break down in mid-summer. They wait until the wee hours on a Friday morning to let you know they need some TLC. How can you avoid seeing your breath in your own home and ruining your day and when should you schedule a furnace repair visit?
Typical Signs Furnace Repair might be needed
Let’s face it; furnaces make noise. If you have noticed your furnace noise increasing in volume over time or if it has started banging, that could indicate an issue. Problems with the ignition and/or a cracked or broken belt could be to blame.
Another indication that furnace repair might be needed is if you find yourself continually standing in front of your thermostat bumping up the temperature. Does it feel like your furnace just can’t keep up?… Read More
