Lower The Environmental Impact Of Your Air Conditioning Unit

Whilst air conditioners can be great in when it’s very hot, they’re not an eco-friendly invention. They’re big energy consumers and their level of carbon emissions is relatively high.

However more recently, people have attempted to come up with ideas to make air conditioners more eco-friendly. A new air conditioning system has recently been introduced however that is low energy, reduces CO2 and is made of natural materials.

 

The Cool Phase units save between 600-800kg of Carbon Dioxide per year, and don’t contain any ozone damaging refrigerants. The system is made from natural, full compostable materials, meaning you can recycle the unit at the end of its life. This is a pertinent example of how the air conditioning industry can adapt their systems to reduce the impact they have on the environment.

 

Consumers will also be pleased to hear of the financial benefits of the system, which costs as little at 10p per day to run and even lets you fit the replacement filters yourself, saving you the cost of an engineer callout. The units also recover heat from the sun during the day and store it overnight, meaning you don’t need to power them in the morning. This not only reduced the running costs of the unit but reduces the impact it has on the environment.

 

Many major air conditioning companies are now trying to follow this example, with both Daikin air conditioning and Toshiba air conditioning now putting an increased emphasis on production of eco-friendly units.

 

If you’re willing to spend the time doing some research and shopping around, you’ll be able to find air conditioning units that are not only friendly to the environment but are much less expensive to run. So if you’re trying to stay cool at the home or office, an air conditioning unit might be more affordable than you think.
