## Home Energy Cooling

With all the increases in energy costs over the past decade, the financial impact
of heating and cooling your home. Especially cooling in the summer folks. It has
become real concern for many people. However despite our climate it hasn’t discouraged
cooling ourselves down. That’s because more domestic and commercial investment in
air conditioning systems.

As I’ve [written](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/06/get-smart-about-home-cooling-this-summer/)
before:

**Boost Energy Efficiency, Lower Bills Up to 25 Percent**** **

Upgrading your system and installing a smart home thermostat will significantly 
reduce your utility expenses. The most energy-efficient heating and cooling [products](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/02/ge-magnetic-cooling-a-quantum-leap-in-refrigeration/)
on the market are ductless mini-split systems. They will save as much as 25 percent
on your energy bill. Further, an efficiently controlled thermostat save an additional
10 percent a year. 

Here’s how ductless mini-split systems work. Thin copper tubing is used to pump 
refrigerant from an outdoor compressor directly into an indoor air-handling unit,
where the air is quietly distributed to the interior space. This eliminates the 
need for basement or attic evaporators and bulky, expensive ductwork. Mini-splits
are easy to install and usually require only a 3- to 4-inch hole through a wall 
or ceiling to connect the indoor and outdoor units.

#### **Customized Home Comfort Control**

Take control of your comfort. Most HVAC manufacturers offer apps that enable systems
to be controlled from anywhere using a mobile device. Now, voice-control capability
uses digital assistants to verbally dictate home temperatures—“Alexa, set the living
room temperature to 70 degrees.” For instance, Fujitsu offers a free app that enables
Web-activated control via mobile devices and now voice-activated control via Amazon
Alexa and Google Home.
