With ever growing environmental concerns a major change was
introduced to the air conditioning industry. In a bid to cut down on its impact
on the ozone layer air conditioners are now required to pass a new set of
standards to be compliant. The major change was made to the type of coolant the
units use. It has to be accepted by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The main substance that was used prior to this change was primarily
composed of chlorine. This had a negative effect on the environment and caused
significant damage to the ozone. This chemical (referred to as R-22) is now
being phased out. It is no longer legal to use.
What has been happening is that the companies have been switching
out the R-22 and replacing it with green freon 410a. it has no effect on the
ozone as it contains no hazardous chemicals. The thing is not to be dismayed by
this. Getting you unit updated will help you to save money in the long run.
Your energy costs will be reduced.
Updating your central air conditioning will also help you to get
great rebates from manufacturers which are usually accessible through your air
conditioning company (just ensure that they are reputable). You can also get
tax incentives for your actions.
All you have to do is ensure that you get an air conditioning
company which is reputable and can service what they sell. Do your research and
find out which company is providing most of the service in your area and find
out how their follow up service is as well. A well done installation or upgrade
of a central air conditioning unit needs little or no maintenance. Remember
that if the upgrade is not done correctly it will cost you again to get it
rectified. You any even need to replace the unit. Also remember that if you are
not aware that the upgrade was not done properly ten you will see the
reflection in your energy cost. A lot of persons make the mistake of getting
the unit from a reputable company and then getting some unlicensed individual
who says that they are skilled to do the upgrade. Protect yourself and get the
job done the right way.

Nowadays with the modern innovations that have occurred with air conditioners the required time for servicing gets longer and longer. Central air conditioning units now require yearly service. The older models should be serviced three times for the year.
It is recommended that persons who use an air conditioner in tropical and sub tropical temperatures get their units serviced more often then those who use an air conditioner in New York. Apart from humid temperatures airborne salt & dirt can also cause problems especially for the older models. A great thing to do would be to get an upgrade to your current model but if that is not possible then the only choice is to service the system especially if you have central air conditioning. That is the only way to keep the air quality as pure as possible. It will prevent the occurrence or worsening of any health conditions like asthma.
Proper maintenance also cuts down on the electricity usage. A faulty unit will work harder to compensate for the problems and thus use more energy. Maintenance of your unit will cut down on your carbon footprint as the environmentalists love to say.
If you have an air conditioner especially in New York where the summers can be horrible and the winters worse you have to have an efficient unit. If your house or apartment is not as cool as it was when you originally bought the unit or if the air is stale then that is your queue to get a technician to check it. In the long run however, preventative measures are always best. You can always get it checked before the time period when you will use it most (like the summer and winter months).
It cannot be reiterated enough that a schedule cannot be set for serving your air conditioning unit. It is dependent on the age of the unit and how heavily it is used. The best thing that you can do is to get it thoroughly checked out by a professional (if you can ensure that you purchase your unit from a company that does servicing as well). The same goes for central air conditioning which is used in most offices.

Breeze-Air.com, an HVAC company that serves the New York City area, announced on August 18th that they have begun to change to green energy and efficient air conditioning units. Ronnie Oberlender, CEO and founder, is doing everything he can to help Breeze-Air.com help the community; by turning to green, energy-efficient air conditioning units, not only is the environment helped, but the customers are also able to save money on their electric bills.
On the Breeze-Air.com website, Oberlender states “Now our customers can shop for and order AC system upgrade. Everybody wins – we expand our product market, help environment and customers can save money.” Customers are able to request an AC upgrade and Breeze-Air.com offers an affordable way to switch over to green energy.
Breeze-Air.com has served as an HVAC contractor in the NYC area for the last 16 years and is a leader in the field. Their switch to green energy is one that will soon be necessitated by changes in the HVAC industry.
By 2020, R 22, the old refrigerant in central air conditioners, will be almost completely phased out and will have been replaced by R-410A. In the next 2 years, manufacturers will only be able to produce R 22 for already-existing equipment. New central air conditioners will eventually have to use R-410A. R 22 is being phased out because of its negative impact on the ozone layer. It adds to global warming by damaging the ozone layer. R 22 was first slated to be phased out after the 1987 Montreal Protocol due to the chlorine gas that it emits.
Customers should consider this when purchasing their HVAC units; while many manufacturers are on schedule for the phasing out, not all are. As a result, Breeze-Air.com’s decision to offer energy-efficient and green energy air conditioning units is very helpful. Customers do not have to take as much of their own time and energy to ensure that the air conditioning unit they purchase has the necessary components to work with R-410A.
Additionally, because the shift is coming, where R 22 central air conditioning units will be more obsolete, their prices are more and more expensive. Conversely, R-410A compliant air conditioning units have dropping prices.
An added incentive for buyers is that the recently passed federal stimulus bill allows homeowners to claim a $1500 tax credit for installations of qualifying air conditioning units that occur between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010. The passed bill also overrode the $500 lifetime cap for earlier tax credits that homeowners might have received.
By upgrading today, customers can receive the tax credit, help the environment, and start to save on their electric bills! All of this for installing a green energy, more energy-efficient air conditioning unit! Why wouldn’t someone take advantage of this golden opportunity?
Join Breeze-Air.com in helping impact the environment in a positive manner. Upgrade your central air conditioning unit today and use green energy in your home. Start saving money on your bills immediately. This is not an opportunity that you want to pass up!hvac new york
