Eco-Friendly Cooling is Here: Upgrade Your AC Now!

As we move towards a more sustainable future, the HVAC industry is undergoing significant changes, particularly in the types of refrigerants used. One of the most notable transitions is from R410A to more environmentally friendly alternatives. At DoneĀ® Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electric, we are committed to helping our customers in Aurora and Denver navigate this transition seamlessly. Hereā€™s why upgrading your AC system now is crucial and how we can help.

Why Transition from R410A?

R410A has been a popular refrigerant in air conditioning systems for years, but its high Global Warming Potential (GWP) has prompted a shift towards more sustainable options. With a GWP of 2,088, R410A contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions when released into the atmosphere. To address this, new regulations are phasing out high-GWP refrigerants, pushing the industry towards alternatives like R32, R454B, and R466A, which have much lower GWPs and are more environmentally friendly.

Benefits of New Refrigerants

  1. Environmental Protection: Lower GWP refrigerants reduce the impact on global warming.
  2. Energy Efficiency: Many new refrigerants are more efficient, leading to lower energy bills.
  3. Regulatory Compliance: Upgrading ensures your system meets current and future environmental regulations.

Challenges and Solutions

Transitioning to new refrigerants involves several challenges, including system compatibility, technician training, and initial costs. At Done, we have the expertise and experience to make this process as smooth as possible for you. Our team is fully trained in handling and installing systems with the latest refrigerants, ensuring safety, efficiency.

Why Upgrade Now?

  1. Avoid Future Costs: As regulations tighten, the cost of maintaining R410A systems will increase.
  2. Stay Ahead of the Curve: Early adoption of new refrigerants ensures your system remains up-to-date.
  3. Improved Performance: New systems often come with advanced features that improve overall performance and comfort.

Go Green with Alternative Cooling Options

While upgrading your AC is important, there are also several eco-friendly cooling options that can help you stay comfortable while reducing your environmental impact. Consider these alternatives:

  • Swamp Coolers: Ideal for the dry climate of Colorado, swamp coolers use evaporation to cool air, consuming less energy than traditional AC units.
  • Whole House Fans and Attic Fans: These fans improve air circulation and can significantly reduce indoor temperatures, especially during cooler evenings and mornings.
  • Ductless Mini Splits: These systems offer flexible, energy-efficient cooling solutions for individual rooms or zones in your home.
  • Heat Pumps: Efficient for both heating and cooling, heat pumps can be a versatile and eco-friendly option for maintaining a comfortable home year-round.
