Why Choose Eco-Friendly Air Conditioner Installation?

Energy-efficient air conditioners significantly lower your home’s carbon footprint by using less electricity to deliver the same cooling power. Eco-friendly systems also help conserve natural resources and can save you money on monthly utility bills. Choosing a professional HVAC company like Galmiche & Sons ensures that your installation meets the highest energy efficiency and environmental standards.

Selecting the Right Eco-Friendly Air Conditioner

Energy Star Certified Units: When planning for eco-friendly air conditioner installation, start by choosing a unit that is Energy Star certified. These models are tested for superior energy efficiency and meet rigorous environmental guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
High SEER Ratings: The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures the cooling output per unit of electricity. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the unit. In St. Louis, where summers can be sweltering, investing in a high-SEER model can make a noticeable difference. Learn more about SEER ratings.
Environmentally Safe Refrigerants: Newer air conditioners use refrigerants like R-410A, which are less harmful to the ozone layer compared to older refrigerants like R-22. Choosing a system that uses eco-friendly AC refrigerants is crucial for minimizing environmental impact.

Sustainable Installation Practices

Proper installation is just as important as selecting the right unit. Here are steps Galmiche & Sons takes to ensure eco-friendly air conditioner installation:

Correct Sizing: An oversized or undersized AC wastes energy. We perform accurate load calculations to ensure the system matches your home’s cooling needs. Learn more about air conditioner size.
Efficient Ductwork: Leaky ducts can waste up to 30% of cooling energy. We inspect and seal ductwork during installation to maximize efficiency.
Smart Thermostat Integration: Pairing your AC with a smart thermostat optimizes energy use, allowing you to cool your home only when needed.

At Galmiche & Sons, we believe going green should be accessible to everyone. We offer flexible in-house financing options to make eco-friendly air conditioner installation affordable.
