In the middle of a sunny day with all that perspiration running down your forehead and armpits, more likely than not, you’d long for cool air from an air conditioning unit in Dallas, TX. But as you turn the cooling system on, you may be warming the planet in return.

No matter how much we loathe this thought, it’s an unavoidable fact – air conditioner contributes in climate change.

Five Ways to Make Your AC Environmental Friendly

The great news is that there are things homeowners can do to make their a/c more environmentally friendly, and that includes the following:

Choose A Highly Efficient Air Conditioning Unit

Air conditioning units draw power from electricity. To generate electricity, some power plants need to burn fossil fuels. The burning process releases carbon dioxide (CO2), which is considered the primary heat-trapping “greenhouse gas” that causes global warming.

Air conditioning systems, specifically the low efficient ones, use more electricity to operate, which means more carbon footprint. A/C is one of the top energy-user appliances in a typical Dallas home. But this can change by switching to a higher efficient A/C unit.

These days, you can find an A/C with a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating of 26 or even more.

Those units do not consume as much energy as their predecessors. So aside from reducing the impact of A/C on the environment, you could also save on the equipment’s operation’s cost.

If you’re ready to make a switch, a local air conditioning contractor in Dallas, TX can help you look for energy-efficient units for your home.

Keep Your Unit In Its Best Shape

Air conditioning unit efficiency declines over time. And when the unit becomes less efficient, it will likely consume more electricity to operate. As discussed above, electricity generation produces a gas that’s harmful to the environment.

Hence, if you want to reduce the A/C’s impact on the environment, make sure the unit stays in its best shape, so it does not consume more electricity than needed.

You can accomplish that with professional routine air conditioning maintenance. Investing money and effort in your equipment’s upkeep will also make the unit last longer.

Stop Using R22 Refrigerant

The U.S government has put R22 refrigerant, also known as HCFC-22 Freon or R22 Freon, production and import to a complete halt. But homeowners can still continue to use their existing equipment that uses this type of refrigerant.

If you’re one of the homeowners with an A/C that uses R22 refrigerant, it’s time to consider investing in a new unit. Besides, it will be more difficult to find R22 refrigerant, and the repair for this equipment would be costlier.

Furthermore, this refrigerant was banned for a reason – it contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer.

Fix Refrigerant Leak Immediately

A refrigerant may leak when there are holes or cracks in the evaporator coil. You may hear a gurgling or hissing sound when there’s a leak. When you hear such sounds or notice other signs of a refrigerant leak, such as poor cooling or frozen evaporator coil, immediately contact your local air conditioning contractor in Dallas, TX.

Depending on the type of refrigerant, a leak of this gas can cause damage to the environment. Furthermore, it can also put you and your loved one’s safety at risk. That’s why it’s vital to seal the leak immediately.

Practice Good A/C Habits and Give Your Unit A Break

Some of the good A/C habits, including making sure that the outdoor and indoor temperature difference doesn’t exceed 7 degrees, keeping drapes and blinds in a room closed, and ensuring there’s a shade in the outdoor unit. These will keep your A/C from working too hard and consuming more electricity to function.

Giving your air conditioner a break is also good for the environment since you’ll be reducing electricity consumption. What’s more, it can help minimize the risk of repairs. It’s also good for your pocket.

The earth is becoming warmer and warmer, which means there will be more air conditioning units. The increased use of A/C units may mean the earth will become even warmer.

Before we reach the point of no return, it would be awesome if you do your part and make your air conditioning unit more eco-friendly. So you can cool your home without heating the planet.

If you need any air conditioning service in Dallas, TX, feel free to contact GO Heating, Air & Plumbing at 972-532-0008.
