The HVAC industry continually sees improvements in technology that help make a home’s indoor environment more comfortable and energy efficient. Here are some of the top HVAC upgrades of 2020 to consider for your Greenville, SC, home:
Sustainability
HVAC units are becoming more sustainable and friendly to the environment. Newer HVAC systems use less energy, and many have eliminated the use of harmful chemicals like refrigerants in favor of greener versions. You can find some of the most environmentally friendly heating and cooling systems when contacting us about a new installation.
Electrical Units
In 2020, you’re more likely to find HVAC units that only run by electrical means. This is in part due to a desire to reduce greenhouse gases from the use of fossil fuel-run systems. Electric-only HVAC systems will work to cool or heat your home from one unit without requiring multiple pieces.
Geothermal HVAC
It’s becoming more common for the heat pump parts of HVAC units to use geothermal energy. This kind of system uses natural heat from the ground to regulate the temperature of your home in both cool and warm seasons. As the technology improves, it’s likely to get more cost effective to install.
Smart Technology
Heating and cooling units are incorporating more smart technology in order to regulate the indoor temperature of a home automatically. You’re even able to connect to your system remotely, utilizing your mobile device as long as you have an internet connection. This will help you ensure that your home is always comfortable, even if your schedule changes.
You can upgrade to a system with many of these new features when you work with our professionals. Contact Authorized Heating & Air Conditioning for repair or installation to best meet your needs. We look forward to helping you save energy and money this year and beyond.
