When it comes to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), there are always technological updates. But as a Tucson homeowner, it can be hard to stay up to date, especially if you’re not sure how certain parts of your HVAC system work. There are two recent developments in heating and cooling that could affect your home’s HVAC system: the creation of new refrigerants and evolving SEER standards. At B & J Refrigeration, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of these innovations, ensuring our customers in Tucson and the surrounding communities benefit from the latest advancements in HVAC technology.
The Shift to New Refrigerants
The HVAC industry is moving away from traditional refrigerants, which have been found to be harmful to the environment. Research has shown that refrigerants such as R-22 can contribute to global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer. New refrigerants, such as R-32 and R-410A, offer a lower environmental impact, thanks to their reduced global warming potential (GWP). This shift will help to protect the planet and meet global environmental regulations for more sustainable practices.
Updates to SEER Ratings
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) standards are also undergoing updates. SEER measures the efficiency of air conditioning units over an entire cooling season. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the unit is. Recent changes in regulations are raising the minimum SEER ratings for new HVAC systems, encouraging the adoption of units that consume less energy while providing the same level of comfort.
