It’s always a good idea to try and be more environmentally conscious, especially when it comes to your home—a place where many of us spend a good amount of our time. There’s no need to revamp your entire house to be a more eco-conscious homeowner, though. By modifying just a few things in your home and with your daily routine, you can reap the benefits of a more environmentally sound household. Not only will these small changes be good for the environment, but they’ll be good for your wallet, too! Each eco-friendly choice you make will add up to lower costs on your energy bills over time. So, do your part, and consider these five simple steps you can take to make your home eco-friendlier.

If you’re planning to upgrade your heating or cooling system in the next year, it’s important to understand changes that will impact heat pumps and air conditioners. Starting on January 1, 2023, the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) energy efficiency requirements will increase, meaning more efficient units, more savings and less impact on the environment. However, the new rules will require changes throughout the HVAC industry. At MightyServ, we are already preparing for the new rules and we want our clients to have the information needed to make the right choice for their residential and commercial heating and cooling needs. What Are the 2023 Changes for Heat Pumps and Air Conditioners? The new standards mark the second increase in efficiency requirements in five years. Now, the North, Southeast and Southwest (CA, NV, AZ, NM) will have different efficiency standards and stricter installation requirements for central air conditioners. The efficiency ratings for heat pumps will also increase, as follows: Efficiency ratings for air conditioning systems will increase by one Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) based on current requirements: North HVAC SEER will increase from 13 to 14. South and Southwest: HVAC SEER will increase 14 to 15. Heat pumps have common efficiency

People whose electric bill gives them sticker shock every month should take a good look at their existing commercial HVAC system to see what improvements can be made in efficiency and performance. As many people know, heating and cooling systems can account for up to 40% of the electricity used in commercial buildings. In addition, the global effect of commercial energy consumption is a major concern. Whether you lease or own your building, you need lighting, power for office equipment, air conditioning, heating, and other services to stay in business. A good way to help the environment, while also saving money, is to improve the energy efficiency of your building. In the modern business environment, all businesses are charged with finding innovative ways of improving upon quality service while reducing or containing costs. MightyServ, a business that has been in operation for more than 51 years, is dedicated to identifying, designing, and implementing strategies aimed at providing local businesses with effective energy saving solutions. How to Reduce Commercial HVAC Costs Monitoring a building’s energy use is very important. This means checking and updating the building’s energy consumption on a regular basis to ensure that one is not wasting or using

A lot of people are becoming aware of the need to reduce their carbon footprint and help in efforts to combat global warming. Accordingly, it is important to make sure that your AC system is as efficient as possible. An efficient HVAC system does not only operate better but also saves energy. So, how is heating and cooling equipment efficiency measured? Here are a few ways that you can explore: EER The Energy Efficiency Ratio is designed to give you a rough estimate of how much cooling you will get on your HVAC system for every dollar you spend on energy. The rating is often based on the season’s hottest day other than an average of the entire season. EER is calculated by dividing the total output cooling energy with the incoming electrical energy. The Energy Star The Energy star is provided by the US Environment protection agency and is only awarded to an HVAC system that meets or surpasses the high energy efficiency guidelines. The guidelines are often based on how much the HVAC system contributes to the nationwide efforts to save energy, the difference in cost between the system, and its less efficient counterpart and the performance of
