As we work to preserve our environment for our children and grandchildren, the ARS Lafayette Home Team has the knowledge and products to lower your energy costs and reduce the negative impact on our environment when heating and cooling your home. As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling, so making smart decisions about your home's heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort.

Energy Star Rated Products
ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. government-sponsored program that helps businesses and homeowners save energy and protect the environment by giving them the information they need to make smart choices about efficiency.

An ENERGY STAR furnace can reduce your heating costs by as much as 40%.  And an ENERGY STAR air conditioner can save you up to 60% on your cooling bills. Choosing an ENERGY STAR qualified product not only makes sense economically—it also makes sense from an environmental standpoint. According to the EPA, if just one in ten households installed ENERGY STAR heating and cooling products, the change would keep more than 17 billion pounds of pollution out of the air.

ARS carries multiple lines including Amana, Bryant and Trane products that meet the ENERGY STAR standards.
