Air Conditioning & Cooling

Every summer the heat and humidity drives homeowners to turn up their air conditioners. If you’ve got an older unit, maybe it’s time to think about replacing it with a new more energy efficient one.

Older air conditioners—both central and room--use 30-70% more electricity than newer energy-efficient models, driving up peak demand and costing you more. And, older units can corrode or rust, leading to refrigerants, HCFCs and CFCs leaking and causing environmental damage and pollution. Air conditioners contain refrigerants like freon, that create the "cooling" effect. They are ozone-depleting substances and have global restrictions to ensure they are not released into the atmosphere.
