Global warming is a growing problem, and one that the human species will be forced to face in the coming years. Most industries have already begun to adapt to how things are changing, and the HVAC industry is no exception. At S&L Prime, we find ourselves factoring climate change into our work more and more, and wanted to talk about some of the recent innovations in HVAC technology.
HVAC Systems Use a Lot of Energy
Our HVAC systems keep us warm during the winter and cool during the summer, but doing so uses a lot of energy, which in turn puts a large strain on the environment. Most energy used in the United States is from nonrenewable sources and fossil fuels, both of which aren’t good for the ozone layer.
Newer Systems are Better
Newer HVAC systems are more efficient and better for the environment. This statement is generally true about all newer models of HVAC systems, but is especially true for newer more innovative ones. Geothermal heating and cooling systems work great and have low environmental impacts, as do ice-powered air conditioners. Both have been rising in popularity.
Replacing Your HVAC System Will Save You Money and Help the Environment
The upfront cost of replacing your current HVAC system can be pretty high, but when compared with the cost of operating an inefficient system over a number of years, the cost of replacement is actually the better deal. If you have an older HVAC system, you should seriously consider upgrading it, you’ll be happy you did.
