The cold weather has arrived and is here to stay for the next few months. It is time to be diligent in regards to maintaining your heating system. Change the filter on your furnace every month to ensure it stays clean. A clean system reduces energy costs and reduces break downs. Stay warm and Merry Christmas from all of us at Steel-T

Whether you have lived in this beautiful state your whole life, just a few years, or only a few minutes…you already know how temperamental Colorado is!

Last week you could have mistaken Denver for Seattle, this weekend Denver felt like a mountain town, today it’s bright and sunny and in a few days it’s back to Seattle – what does all this mean to you?

We would like to take time to say Thank you to all of those who are in the military or those who have served and there families.  It took over nine years but the efforts our men and women in uniform put forth paid off.

A promise made by President Bush was delivered by President Obama in an effort that all Americans can agree upon.  The bringing to justice of Osama Bin Laden for being the mastermind behind the World Trade Center Terrorist attacks of 9/11.  He could not hide and could not run forever.  For the colors and truth of those who carry our flag will never fail!  We have and will always have the strongest and most faithful military in the world!  It is with great gratitude that we thank those who are willing to hold arms to protect our way of life!  Thank you to everyone who has or is part of protecting the United States of America!

Rebates! Rebates! Who doesn’t love a good rebate? We here at Steel T love to take care of our customers, which is one of many reasons why we decided to partner up with Xcel Energy (energy credit in Denver). How does a savings of $1500 sound to you? Not too shabby, eh? When you purchase a new Carrier air conditioner (yes, it’s time to start getting ready for summer!), you will receive an offer of up to $1,000 from Steel T, Carrier and Xcel Energy. To put a cherry on top, when you claim the Federal Tax Credit you can receive up to an additional $500. Not too bad for a days work if you ask me…

Fun fact of the day: when you set your thermostat back 10-15 degrees for eight hours a day, you will save nearly 10% a year on your heating & cooling bills! The first step in this money-saving action plan is to make sure you have a programmable thermostat. If you haven’t upgraded your current HVAC (heating, ventilating & air conditioning) system to a programmable interface, Steel T can install one for you in as little as an hour. For more information about programmable thermostats and how they can save you money on your energy bills.

Of course, it is not necessary that you have a programmable thermostat in order to save the 10% (on average $200 a year) – but let’s face it – it will make your life so much easier. We here at Steel T prefer to lower the temperature during the night when everyone is asleep; however you can time the adjustment to happen as soon as you leave in the morning for work. The most important thing is to figure out what works best for you and then do it! Why wouldn’t you? The average American spends $1,900 a year on electricity bills, start your savings now!
