If you look at recent trends regarding air conditioning choices, it seems that many more homeowners are now becoming aware of the need to achieve greener and cleaner living, which is driving their list of requirements.

Time for a change?

Air conditioning systems tend to last for at least a decade and this means that even if you use someone like Bounds to service and maintain your unit, you may well find that your existing system does not offer you the level of sophistication and efficiency that is now available with newer models.

You now have more choices than ever before and recent trends have shown an upsurge in interest for modern alternatives such as geothermal systems and options like ductless mini-split air conditioners.

Geothermal systems take advantage of the consistent cool temperatures found underground to cool your home and ductless mini-split air conditioners are proving popular because they give you the option of cooling one room at a time rather than relying on a basic central system.

Go greener

Energy conservation is an important factor for many homeowners and the latest air conditioning units can offer you the opportunity to go greener and even reduce your energy bills through greater efficiency.

It is a simple equation that due to advancements in HVAC designs and the fact that government regulations have tightened in recent years, manufacturers have worked hard to produce modern units that tick as many green boxes as possible.

If you take a look at government-backed Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratings (SEER) you will note that despite a minimum rating of around 13 SEER in some areas, you can find systems that go well beyond this figure and can achieve ratings that can go above 20 SEER, which means you will make great savings due to this improved level of efficiency over your old system.

Safe for your family

Energy efficiency is clearly important but you also want an air conditioning system that offers innovative features which are designed to be safe to use for your family and pets.

Modern systems are able to optimize their performance by not being too small and failing to keep everyone comfortable and not being too large to present a problem with mold and mildew, which can occur in a humid environment due to an oversized cooling system.

Clean air

Statistics show that we now spend almost 90% of our time indoors and for that reason alone, a modern air conditioning unit is important to ensure that you keep the air in your home as clear from pollutants as possible.

One of the ways that this can be achieved is through the use of ductless systems.
A ductless Air conditioning system is capable of delivering the conditioned air directly into your chosen living space without having to travel through a series of air ducts, which is often the case with older systems.

Duct leaks and dirty ductwork are both big culprits in increasing energy loss and driving up your utility bills, so a ductless system offers the opportunity to almost eliminate these problems.

If you want to stay on trend and improve your energy efficiency and enjoy a cleaner and greener environment, it might be time to take a look at updating your AC system to take advantage of the latest technology available.
