Technological development in the heating and air conditioning industry is much like the auto industry. Some of the core features you’re looking for in an air conditioner today are the same you’ve been looking for all along. Will my AC run dependably or will it break down and leave me stranded on a hot day? Does it have the power to keep up with the climbing temperatures during a Fredericksburg heatwave? With a modern air conditioner from a manufacturer like York, installed from experts at First Choice, you can rest assured that your home will remain cool all summer long. But we know these are no longer the only priorities that effect our decision making.

Is my AC efficient in its power use? What kind of footprint am I leaving?

In January of this year, manufacturing of the coolant R22 was put to a halt. This was the life blood of air conditioning units for years but in 1987 it was determined that R22 was just too harmful to the environment. R22 can still be legally used to maintain old units, but the termination of the production earlier this year could cause the cost of maintaining old ACs to skyrocket! New air conditioners from York use new, more environmentally friendly coolant. Not only will your replacement system save on your energy bills, you’ll be lowering your footprint as well.
