- Ductless Mini Split Air
Conditioners
Breeze Air
Conditioning Inc is a FUJUITSU
Authorized Installer
mini split air
conditioners and heat pumps have no ducts,
they avoid energy losses associated with
ductwork of central forced air AC systems.
Duct losses can account for a significant
portion of energy consumption for space
conditioning, especially if the ducts are in
a unconditioned space such as an attic.
Ductless air conditioning offers Higher
Efficiency vs. window air conditioning, less
noise, and no costly ductwork.
In comparison to other add-on systems,
mini splits offer more flexibility in
interior design options. The indoor air
handlers can be suspended from a ceiling,
mounted flush into a drop ceiling, or hung
on a wall.

Most of us don’t really think too
much about our air conditioning units until
summer. But with higher temperatures
arriving early this year, now is the time to
take a look at your air conditioning unit
before it gets too hot. Or worse – before
your unit breaks.
New Tax
Incentives Available for Air Conditioner Replacement
There are new
tax credits available to those who choose to
go green and replace their air conditioning
units with newer, non-ozone damaging,
energy-efficient models. The recently passed
federal stimulus bill (American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009) offers a new tax
credit for
30% of the installation costs(up
to $1500)
to homeowners who install qualified central
air conditioning units January 1, 2009
through December 31, 2010.
The stimulus bill also removed the
$500 lifetime cap from similar tax credits
that were available in 2006 and 2007.
Homeowners that claimed tax credits in those
years may still be eligible for the
full $1500 tax credit for 2009-2010.
In addition, local power companies like
Con-Edison and LIPA may offer additional
rebates of up to
$400 for installation of high-efficiency
systems.
A more energy-efficient air
conditioning replacement unit uses far less
energy and can reduce your energy costs by
up to
40%.
Combined with the new tax incentives and
rebates being offered, it can quickly pay
for itself.
Environmental
Regulations on Air Conditioning Units Change Next
Year
Not only does
replacement of your older air conditioning
unit with a new one provide a financial
incentive, but there is an environmental
benefit as well.
New environmental requirements will
go into effect in 2010 that will regulate
the chemicals used in air conditioning
units. The R-22 coolant used in most central
air conditioning systems manufactured in the
past is a HCFC (hydrochloroflurocarbon) that
causes chlorine emissions – and chlorine gas
is one of the manmade emissions which damage
the ozone. This coolant is slated to be
replaced by R410a – a new, chlorine-free and
non-ozone damaging coolant – in all air
conditioners sold starting in 2010.
Production of units using
ozone-damaging R22 will continue until 2020
but will be substantially reduced as all air
conditioning manufacturers switch to using
R410a. The price for units using the old R22
is rapidly rising while the cost for the
more environmentally friendly R410a units is
dropping.
These newer air conditioning units
are far more energy efficient than the older
units, saving homeowners a significant
amount of money, particularly if you live in
an area which is prone to hot summers.
By having your central air
conditioning unit examined now, you could be
ahead of the curve. It’s true that replacing
your central air conditioning system can be
an expensive proposition, but it’s also an
investment in restoring the ozone layer,
which protects us from solar UV radiation,
and an investment in making the air we
breathe cleaner and safer from poisonous
gases like chlorine. It’s also a financially
sound decision. A more efficient air
conditioning unit uses far less energy and
can quickly pay for itself – especially when
you take into account all of the tax
incentives and rebates currently being
offered.
Best of all, a new and
energy-efficient air conditioning system
will make it easier to keep your house cool
in the summer. Consider taking the
cost-effective and environmentally friendly
step of upgrading to a new air conditioning
unit today.
