If you’re looking to reduce your environmental impact while staying cool, choosing an eco-friendly air conditioning system is a smart move. Modern energy-efficient units, such as those with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating or ENERGY STAR® certification, use less electricity and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Ductless mini-split systems are another green option, offering zoned cooling with minimal energy waste. For the most sustainable choice, consider heat pumps, which provide both cooling and heating using a fraction of the energy traditional systems consume. Pairing your AC with a programmable thermostat and regular maintenance further enhances efficiency and helps shrink your carbon footprint.
