Ductless Heating and Cooling Systems. When your products are all about air.

we have a fundamental respect for the environment that’s reflected in many of our proudest innovations. As a world leader in heating, air conditioning and refrigeration solutions, we’re committed to developing innovations that help our consumers decrease their own impact on the planet. Residential and commercial buildings consume about 41 percent of all energy used in the U.S.1 In your own home, as much as 54% of energy used is for heating and cooling.

Mini Split Heat and Air. The Environment is Everything.

For example, we introduced the first environmentally-sound refrigerant, Puron®, in 1996, a full 14 years before industry regulations required it. And our new, Infinity® heat pump with Greenspeed™ intelligence is a technological first in ducted, air source heat pumps, achieving an unprecedented 13 HSPF, a leap of 29% in efficiency over previously best-in-class heat pumps of its kind in a 3-ton size. In this day and age, responsibility for the environment is one we all shoulder. And you can take comfort in knowing that we will continually push to invent and create the most energy efficient and environmentally-sound products possible.

Split HVAC System. HEATING AND COOLING TIPS.

Set your programmable thermostat as low as is comfortable in the winter and as high as is comfortable in the summer, and — depending on the season — raise or lower the setpoint when you're sleeping or away from home. Clean or replace filters on furnaces and air conditioners once a month or as recommended. Clean warm-air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators as needed; make sure they're not blocked by furniture, carpeting, or drapes. Eliminate trapped air from hot-water radiators once or twice a season; if unsure about how to perform this task, contact a professional. Place heat-resistant radiator reflectors between exterior walls and the radiators. Turn off kitchen, bath, and other exhaust fans within 20 minutes after you are done cooking or bathing; when replacing exhaust fans, consider installing high-efficiency, low-noise models. During winter, keep the draperies and shades on your south-facing windows open during the day to allow the sunlight to enter your home and closed at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows. During summer, keep the window coverings closed during the day to block the sun's heat.

Ductless Air Conditioning Systems. LONG-TERM SAVINGS TIPS.

Select energy-efficient products when you buy new heating and cooling equipment. Your contractor should be able to give you energy fact sheets for different types, models, and designs to help you compare energy usage. For furnaces, look for high Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings. The national minimum is 78% AFUE, but there are ENERGY STAR® models on the market that exceed 90% AFUE. For air conditioners, look for a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The current minimum is 13 SEER for central air conditioners. ENERGY STAR models are 14.5 SEER or more.
