Energy Efficient Cooling Systems

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, approximately two-thirds of all homes in the United States have air conditioners. Air conditioners use 5% of the total electricity produced in the U.S. at an estimated cost of $11 billion. This results in roughly 100 million tons of carbon dioxide released into the air each year – this breaks down to about two tons per home!

Switching to energy efficient cooling systems not only helps the environment, but, it also helps reduce your cooling costs. If you already have an energy efficient A/C system then proper maintenance is necessary to keep your system running for a long time and to keep saving you money on cooling costs.

When you’re shopping for a new A/C system, be sure to check the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) number. Higher SEER numbers save you more money on cooling bills and 13 SEER is the minimum efficiency standard.

Polar Heating & Air Conditioning offers Carrier air conditioning units with SEER higher than the minimum standard and as high as 21. Carrier also features Puron® Refrigerant which is environmentally sound and chlorine-free.
