- According to the 2009 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS), 87 percent of U.S. households are equipped with air conditioning
- Air conditioning in nearly 100 million U.S. homes
- Every year,100 million tons of carbon dioxide are released by AC’s, approximately 2 tons/home
- 5 percent of all the electricity produced in the US is from residential air conditioning
- Costing more than $11 billion to homeowners
- Annually, most homes spend about $300 on air conditioning and refrigeration
Here, Caloosa Cooling shares some of Tempstar’s energy-efficient air conditioning advantages and features.
Advantages
- Energy-efficient air conditioners can reduce energy bills by one-third of your heating and cooling costs.
- High-efficiency air conditioners are costly but will save you money in the long run.
- R22 refrigerant AC’s now is the time to upgrade to modern R410A because R22 refrigerants are phased out and illegal.
- R410A models overall decrease carbon footprint.
- New units are more modern and advanced in terms of coolness technology as compared to older models.
- Modern models are built with better materials and parts.
- Making durably strong against ever-changing seasons and harsh weather elements.
- Modern compressor technology and a fan-blade shape produce 68 decibels of sound - about 1/20th of many older units.
- Higher quality parts and improved insulation can help you relax.
- Highly efficient air conditioning systems are technologically designed to function at their best with less repair work overtime.
- Lower repair means fewer maintenance costs but with more savings.
- Depending on certain states, installing energy-efficient air conditioning units get incentives.
- Typically incentives include rebates, tax credits, low-interest loans, and grants.
- New air conditioning with proper annual maintenance and tune-ups can last up to 20 years.
- This energy-efficient investment is worth more than you paid for.
- Modern units with energy-saving features can help save you money.
- The model can automatically turn off both its compressor and fan once it ‘senses’ your space has cooled off.
- A blue ENERGY STAR® certified air conditioning unit means meeting the highest efficiency standards and it uses 10 percent less energy than a standard model.
- EER (Energy Efficiency Rating) and SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) are ratings used to measure the energy efficiency of air conditioners.
- Higher ratings are more reliable with greater efficiency.
- Avoid too-large models that can leave the room clammy and damp or too-small units that would work overtime just to maintain the desired temperature but increases your electric bills.
- Modern designed air conditioners have high-end features as you can set at a precise temperature
- Auto-schedule for on/off settings whatever time you want.
- Energy-Saving Mode
- Auto-Filter Service Reminder
- Wifi-Enabled Thermostat
- A properly installed insulated and sealed AC unit is more efficient and cost-effective.
- During cool night times, turn off the AC, open the windows and turn off all unnecessary electrical devices and appliances to generate heat to the room.
- Set to increase the thermostat temperature by few degrees when nobody is home. In this way, it will reduce the energy load on the AC unit.
- Install ceiling fans properly in the right direction with air conditioning counterclockwise, to send the air down.
- Routinely clean your air conditioning units. Wiping off the vents and cleaning the filter keeps the unit efficient, functional, and longer lifespan use.
- Central air conditioning always keeps the air ducts clean.
