A great amount of energy is lost due to the use of air conditioning systems. To keep the room air-conditioned with cool and clean air takes more and more energy. If people continue the traditional air conditioning practices, the planet will soon face the biggest problems. Fortunately, eco-friendly, green air conditioning becomes an option.
Eco-friendly air conditioning is a great way to save energy and help the environment. There are many ways to make your air conditioning green. One way is to use a programmable thermostat. This will allow you to set the temperature for when you are home and when you are away. This way, you are not cooling an empty house.
Another way to save energy with your air conditioning is to make sure that your unit is the right size for your home. If it is too big, it will use more energy than necessary. You can have a professional come and check to see what size you need.
Green air conditioning is a system that uses the most efficient, modern, and environmentally-friendly technologies for air cooling. The system is powered by either solar energy, geothermal power, or other green energy sources available. Although the upfront cost is much higher, operating it requires less energy and it offers more benefits.
Some of the benefits of using a green air conditioning system include:
- Reducing your carbon footprint and saving money on energy bills
- Helping to improve indoor air quality
- Prolonging the life of your AC unit by reducing wear and tear
- Making your home more comfortable during the summer months
- Helping to preserve the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Why Use Green Air Conditioning?
Going green in your air conditioning or HVAC system offers serious benefits to you, your family, and the environment.
· To conserve energy
Less energy consumption means a better environment. It provides your family with a healthier environment. It is a big step to more fossil fuel reduction daily.
· To reduce carbon footprint
One of the many benefits of using green air conditioning is that it reduces carbon footprint, which directly worsens climate change.
· To save money in the long run
It may cost you a little more than the price of an energy-efficient and high-technology air conditioning system. However, going for green air conditioning translates into more and bigger savings on monthly expenses on electricity bills. Around 30% to 50% of monthly electricity consumption is said to be reduced.
· To support the local community
As the local government steps up to promote green alternatives, using a green air conditioning system is probably a major contribution.
· To enjoy the tax break
According to federal law, those who replace an old and less energy-efficient system with newer green technology are qualified for tax breaks. The government also provides support to homeowners and commercial space owners who choose to go green.
What to Do If You are Switching?
· Purchase an appropriately-sized high-efficiency unit
Pick the best and most appropriate size that suits your needs and your space. Whether you plan to improve your home’s cooling, heating, and ventilation, or it is intended for the office, the right size allows you to maximize the unit’s full potential.
· Install multiple zone programmable thermostats
This type of appliance allows you to set the HVAC system at an adjustable temperature so that you don’t have to manually turn it off and on.
· Improve the home insulation
Home insulation is important if you want to enjoy the benefits of an energy-efficient green air conditioning system. It may cost additional expenses but it will be worth it all in the long run.
· Install metal insulation
A thin metal sheet serves as insulation that reduces the heat transfer from the unit to the room. It works as a heat barrier.
· Improve the ductwork
If the ductwork is poorly built, it will only lower the efficiency of the unit. You can improve it by sealing and insulating the ductwork.
