Title: Don’t Let an Outdated Air Conditioning System Drain Your Wallet

Introduction:

During scorching summers, air conditioning becomes a lifesaver, keeping us cool and comfortable indoors. However, if you’re still relying on an outdated air conditioning system, you may be unknowingly wasting a significant amount of money on your energy bills. In this blog post, we’ll explore how outdated AC systems can contribute to increased energy consumption and provide some tips on how to save money by upgrading to a more efficient system.

  1. Inefficiency of Outdated Systems: Older air conditioning units tend to be less energy-efficient compared to their modern counterparts. These systems lack the advanced technology and energy-saving features found in newer models, causing them to consume more energy to cool your space adequately. This inefficiency results in higher energy bills and unnecessary environmental impact.
  2. Wear and Tear: Over time, air conditioning systems experience wear and tear, leading to decreased efficiency. Components such as motors, compressors, and fans can become worn or dirty, hindering their performance. Consequently, the system has to work harder and consume more energy to maintain the desired temperature, ultimately increasing your energy expenses.
  3. Outdated Refrigerants: Many outdated AC systems use refrigerants that are harmful to the environment, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). These refrigerants contribute to ozone depletion and are being phased out due to their negative environmental impact. Upgrading to a newer system that utilizes more eco-friendly refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), can help reduce your carbon footprint and potentially qualify you for government incentives.
  4. The Advantages of Upgrading: Investing in a modern and energy-efficient air conditioning system offers numerous benefits, including:
    a. Lower Energy Bills: Newer AC systems are designed to optimize energy consumption, utilizing advanced features like programmable thermostats, variable speed compressors, and improved insulation. These innovations enable precise temperature control, reduced energy waste, and lower monthly bills.
    b. Enhanced Comfort: Upgraded AC units provide better air distribution, improved humidity control, and customizable settings, ensuring optimal comfort for you and your family.
    c. Environmental Benefits: Energy-efficient systems consume less electricity, reducing carbon emissions and helping to combat climate change. By upgrading, you play an active role in preserving the environment for future generations.
    d. Improved System Lifespan: Upgrading your AC system means investing in its longevity. Newer systems require less maintenance, have longer lifespans, and are less prone to breakdowns, saving you money on repairs and replacements in the long run.
  5. Choosing the Right System: When upgrading your air conditioning system, consider the following factors:
    a. Energy Efficiency: Look for units with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, as higher SEER ratings indicate better energy efficiency.
    b. Size and Capacity: Ensure that the system is appropriately sized for your space. Oversized or undersized units can lead to inefficient operation and reduced comfort.
    c. Smart Technology: Consider systems with smart features that allow for remote control, energy monitoring, and integration with smart home devices, maximizing convenience and energy savings.

Conclusion:

An outdated air conditioning system not only fails to provide adequate cooling but can also drain your wallet through excessive energy bills. Upgrading to a more efficient and eco-friendly AC system offers financial benefits, enhanced comfort, and environmental advantages. By making the switch, you not only save money but also contribute to a sustainable future. So, don’t let an outdated AC system waste your hard-earned money—take the step towards energy efficiency and enjoy the benefits of a modern cooling system.

It’s rainy, it’s pouring…. we all have been experience this lately. These storm coming through one after another. Where we can’t look away at the disaster; like Tom Cruise on that couch circa 2005. But, these beautiful monstrous storms cause more and more problems. The main issue that is popping up is lack of power. I, myself was affected in late June by one of the storms in the Forked River area. I didn’t have power for almost 4 days. Can you say I was cranky? Cranky is an understatement. But, all seriousness for myself and so many others, having no power can cause not only discomfort but many other issues. No power means loss of food, loss of money, medical equipment and medications may be compromised, health concerns for the people and animals of the home. So many issues at hand. Our company can come, service your home and try to get your power back on asap if it’s something that is personal damage to your property. A lot of families look into the generator option, which is such a great choice and eliminates so many problems. Thus, Corona has not only affected all of us in many aspects, it has affected us in this field as well. Unfornutely, the process of getting a generator during this pandemic has become very difficult. Equipment is back ordered for months at a time. Example, we had begun a generator process for someone in march and still are waiting due to how backed up everything is. First, it was the toilet paper, now it’s affected all aspects of home services. Even the process of permits required for an at home stabilized generator is behind. The townships are working in overdrive trying to catch up. We can’t imagine how frustrating this is for all parties and all our local families. But, we will try to help you any way possible. We are here for you Ocean County. Stay safe and be well.
