Carini Adds Ecobee Smart Thermostat Which Offers Functionality, Savings, Extras

Filed Under (Article) by admin on 18-04-2012

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA – A programmable thermostat is a great way to save money on heating and cooling costs, which typically comprise 50 to 70 percent of overall home energy use, but it only saves money if it is being used correctly.

Many homeowners do not utilize their thermostats’ benefits due to complicated programming instructions, but ecobee Smart Thermostat eliminates that problem, according to Gabriel Carini, who recently added the product to what he offers through his San Diego heating and air conditioning repair company.

“Programming ecobee is easy with the touch screen, simple step-by-step instructions and online tutorials,” the Carini Heating And Air Conditioning owner says.

The proof is in the statistics with more than 80 percent of ecobee customers running an energy-saving program versus the 23 percent North American average. A research study showed that the average ecobee user is saving 26 percent on their energy consumption each year, which is equal to about $500.

“Ecobee addresses what our clients are most concerned about, so we’re excited to be able to offer this option to them,” says Carini, a San Diego heating service provider. Read the rest of this entry »

El Cajon Air Conditioning, Heating Expert Says Schedule Tune-Up Before Summer

EL CAJON, CALIFORNIA – Gabriel Carini, a heating and cooling veteran of nearly a decade, is reminding home and business owners to schedule a spring tune-up for their air conditioning systems to make adjustments where necessary and take care of minor repairs before the summer season.

“If just a few aspects of an air conditioning system are slightly off, problems can overwork the unit, costing you more and shortening the life expectancy of the system. Even worse, if problems persist, the result could be a very costly repair,” says the owner of Carini Heating And Air Conditioning.

Air conditioning is, of course, used most during the hottest months of the year, and a maintenance service with an El Cajon AC repair expert, which costs $89, will ensure the system is functioning at peak efficiency.

Tagged Under : , , , ,

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA—The residential heating and air conditioning services of Gabriel Carini’s San Diego business have expanded. In January, Carini Heating And Air Conditioning added hydronic systems to the list of what they service, replace and repair.

“We’ve recently expanded our expertise and capabilities on hydronic systems and decided to create a more formal hydronic system program for our residential clients,” says Carini, an HVAC expert in Southwest California.

A hydronic system uses water as the heat-transfer medium in heating and cooling systems. There are two ways to design hydronic systems: one system heats or cools directly, and the other design uses water-to-air heat pumps to transfer energy from the hydronic loop to the space for heating and cooling.

Ever Consider Relocating Your Furnace? Experts Say You Should

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -You may have never considered it, but there are some very convincing reasons to hang your furnace instead of leaving it on the ground in a crawlspace or in a closet in the house.
In most cases, hanging the furnace is actually the ideal location, according to Gabriel Carini, the founder of Carini Heating and Air Conditioning, a San Diego heating repair expert.
Why Is Hanging The Furnace Ideal? The most obvious benefit of getting a furnace up off the ground is that it’s easier access to the system. Bowen Smith, a heating and air service technician with the company, recounts a recent job as an example of why this is helpful.
This client had an existing furnace and water heater in the crawlspace of his home. The water heater flooded and because the furnace was on the ground, he found the unit sitting in six or seven inches of water, Smith says. With the client’s furnace inoperable, he had to go without air conditioning, too.
