Trends in HVAC are Changing: Efficiency and Sustainability Features Dominate

Although the winter months generally are considered very high-maintenance HVAC seasons, summertime with a malfunctioning AC unit can be miserable. Although temperatures climb slowly on the East Coast usually, rapid bursts of heat can leave you sweltering with your AC unit is not doing its job properly.

Both older homeowners and new home buyers know that units that are more efficient, and more sustainable, do also make any indoor air more comfortable. Units now are more programmable, and the newer units are environmentally friendly.

Pre-programming a unit for steady temperature control means that hot and cold spots are eliminated, saving the environment and also electrical costs, making a change to a new AC unit a great investment overall.

There are newer types of units as well, with “mini-split systems” now gaining in popularity. Hands-free remote programmable units are wildly popular too and give busy homeowners less trouble than fiddling with thermostats manually.

Consistency is key in newer units, and government regulations now are coming into play, regarding sustainability and the types of units companies are providing. A company that is up to date on all the trends, with proper licensing and years of experience, knows the trends and saves money and time for homeowners.

A good maintenance check should be done before the sweltering heat hits, and a possible replacement of themostatic controls or older units should be discussed as it is well worth a little added cost as the newer units, and thermostats practically pay for themselves in a short amount of time.

Better control of humidity is a good side effect of a newer unit, and the comfort and reliability cannot be beaten. Everything progresses and you now live in a time where HVAC units can be controlled and maintained easily, and even add to the sustainability and safety of your environment and the entire environment!
