more than just environmentally friendly, it’s also economically beneficial home and business.

The Carbon Footprint of HVAC Equipment

According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, heating and cooling accounts for 48 percent of the energy used in a typical home. In fact, over eight percent of all the electricity generated in the U.S. is used for residential air conditioning at an annual cost of over 15 billion.

Residential fuel and power consumption can be significantly reduced by replacing older equipment and improving the efficiency of the HVAC system.
