Does my air conditioning and heating system hurt the environment?

Many Laguna Hills consumers have grown more aware of their personal impact on the environment.  People want to find ways to maintain comfortable, modern lifestyles, but they also want to do their part to protect the world we share.

The heating and air conditioning industry has been one of the most responsible for reducing the industry’s impact on our environment.  Yet, we cannot do it alone.  Some of the greatest environmental gains come from simple steps you can take.

What’s The Easiest Thing I Can Do To Help?

One of the simplest, most economical, and smartest things you can do to reduce your Laguna Hills home’s environmental impact is to tune up the air conditioner every Spring (heat pumps should be tuned in the Spring and Fall) and to clean and adjust the furnace burners in the Fall.  This helps the environment by restoring system efficiency and capacity, which reduces waste and run time.  It also cuts utility expenses, reduces the potential for an equipment breakdown, and extends equipment life.  It’s not just smart for the environment. It’s smart for your wallet and your time.

What’s Can I Do To Make The Most Impact?

The most significant way you can reduce your home’s environmental impact is to purchase one of today’s most efficient systems.  Laguna Hills heating and air conditioning technology has improved dramatically in recent years, both minimizing the industry’s environmental impact and energy costs.  The most efficient gas furnaces release the least amount of nitrous oxide and other by-products of combustion.  The most efficient air conditioners and heat pumps use the least electricity, cutting smokestack emissions at generating plants.

How Can I Avoid Damage From Refrigerants?

Older residential air conditioners use HFCs, which do impact the ozone layer, but far, far less than the CFCs found in household refrigerators.  Since your air conditioner is a sealed system and we capture and recycle HFCs from your air conditioner, there is little risk that your refrigerants will impact the environment as long as there are no leaks.  If your system leaks refrigerant, it is important to get it repaired or replaced as soon as possible.  If you replace your Laguna Hills air conditioner, many new air conditioners use a different type of refrigerant that is environmentally neutral.
