Air Conditioners And Heater's Efficiency Importance Growing

Online, October 25, 2010 (Newswire.com) - For the last several years the United States government has been strongly encouraging its citizens to do away with old, inefficient appliances properly and replacing them with energy star rated appliances. Tax breaks and other incentives have been helping the nation do just that.

Many citizens have taken advantage of these money saving incentives, but there are still far too many who haven't. Mike's Air Conditioning of Brooklyn is so concerned about the environment that their certified NYC HVAC contractors are standing by waiting to help customers choose more efficient solutions for their homes.

Unfortunately, bad news keeps coming out from the EPA about pollution and its effects on the planet as a whole. The United States is on the blacklist of major polluters. Something must be done to remedy the problems we have created. Improving the efficiency of heaters and air conditioners is one step that could go a long way towards making our planet a better place to live.

One sixth of all the energy generated in the United States is spent on air conditioning alone. Since our energy is created primarily by burning coal, it's clear that wasting energy is contributing to the pollution problem. Mining and burning coal is one of the worst polluters in the states.

Our planet is at a tipping point. If we don't do something now the damage will be irreversible. One article released a few months ago on Yahoo! News stated that if we continue on our path that we are on up to one third of the planet will be uninhabitable for future generations. Understanding how much our inefficient appliances affect the environment is a big step towards making things better.

By contacting one of the NYC HVAC contractors from Mike's Air Conditioning to learn about energy efficiency and air conditioners a big step towards saving the planet is taken. When energy star rated air conditioners are properly installed by certified HVAC contractors it helps save electricity and money.

Trying to install air conditioners and heaters properly is not a job for the average homeowner. Only HVAC contractors can seal around custom installed air conditioners and heaters the way they need to be sealed in order to prevent air leaks, increase comfort and save energy. Other issues, such as proper cubic footage to power rating, type of insulation for the proper air conditioners and heaters and more are all issues that should be undertaken by HVAC contractors.
