Dealing with an old, inefficient air conditioner affects not only you but also the environment. Some of the common issues associated with running old AC models include high operational costs, subpar cooling, intermittent system failures, and environmental risk brought about by its refrigerant (R22).
Here at Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning, we care about you as much as we have concern for the environment. We partnered with Lennox to provide you with effective home comfort solutions while taking care of Mother Nature. We are your environment-friendly HVAC company in Bloomington MN.
Benefits of Energy-Efficient Air Conditioners
Some homeowners are concerned about investing in high-efficiency air conditioners, mainly because of the price tag. While they may view the cost as a reason for doubt, you should first consider the advantages of an energy-efficient AC.
One of the features of new, efficient air conditioners is that it runs with at least two stages, which are low and high. On the other hand, older units only have a high setting. This low setting enables the unit to run for longer periods while providing more even cooling and better humidity control.
Also, an energy-efficient cooling system guarantees lower energy bills compared to an inefficient machine. According to the Department of Energy, a high-efficiency air conditioner can lower your energy consumption by 20-50 percent.
Moreover, cooling systems manufactured after 2010 are now equipped with R410a, a safer refrigerant type.
