The HVAC Industry’s Move toward Eco-Friendly Heating & Cooling

We hear more and more every day about “going green” and how we can help the environment. In our industry, we are also seeing equipment manufacturers focusing more on the higher efficiency units.

As of January 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has regulated that all equipment manufactured must use R-410a refrigerant, which unlike other refrigerants, does not contribute to ozone depletion. The older units that use Freon or R-22 will still be able to be serviced, and the R-22 refrigerant will be manufactured until 2020. However, the cost for R-22 refrigerant is projected to rise over the next 10 years and does. Unlike R-22, the R-410a refrigerant does not contribute to ozone completion; it also reduces power consumption, with a much lower impact on global warming.

New Green Heating and Cooling Systems Available to Save Money and Increase Comfort Level

Heat Pump Systems

At Michael Bonsby HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical, we want to help you get the best in green heating and cooling systems so you can enjoy greater comfort for less. We use the latest eco-friendly HVAC systems by Sanyo (Eco-i) that are able to heat and cool your home in a way that you never thought possible. We can install a heat pump system that will heat without the use of an auxiliary heat package, and we can set the system up in zones to give you complete control over your home’s heating using ducted and wall mounted units in the same system.

Green Boilers and Indirect Water Heaters

High Efficiency Gas Boilers

We also install high efficiency gas boilers and indirect water heaters. You can get a 95 percent AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) gas boiler with a modulating gas valve and install a “Smart Tank” on the same system. These boilers operate on an as-needed basis. They will modulate from 20 to 100 percent. When you connect an indirect water heater, we can prioritize your domestic hot water so you will always have plenty for your showers and sinks, while still doing your part for the environment.

This is the Triangle Tube Prestige Solo 110 Condensing Gas Boiler with 95 percent AFUE. It is connected to a Smart 50 indirect water heater. A standard atmospheric boiler, on the other hand, typically has an AFUE between 65 and 81 percent. The difference is that when it calls for heat you get all of the BTU’s at once. With the Triangle Tube Prestige Solo 110 Condensing Gas Boiler, you can keep your beloved radiators and still get a very efficient boiler.
