Sustainability and Your HVAC System

In days past, comfort came at a steep price to both customers and the planet. Old HVAC units used a ton of energy and released harmful chemicals from refrigerants into the ozone. Thankfully, that is changing. Everyone wants to be comfortable in their home, but now, people demand this comfort not come at the cost of the environment or their energy bills.

The HVAC industry has heard these demands. This year, the hottest (or coolest) HVAC trends focus on sustainability, environmental impact, and convenience for consumers. It’s a great time to look at your own air conditioning unit to see if these sustainability practices can benefit you!

Change Air Filters Regularly

Regularly changing your HVAC filters is a practice that is not only important for your health, but also important for the environment. Filters that aren’t changed as often as they should be cause your HVAC system to work harder than it needs to, which reduces the quality of air that you breathe and leads to wasted energy. If you change your air filter regularly, you can reduce wasted energy consumption by 5-10 percent. Remembering to change your air filter has never been easier than with FilterTime, a subscription service that delivers a box of your exact filters right to your door. Snyder Heating & Air Conditioning is proud to partner with FilterTime and offer you 10% off your first order!

Switch to a Programmable or Smart Thermostat

Connected home devices, such as smart speakers and Wi-Fi-capable appliances, have offered us unparalleled and novel convenience in how we run our homes. It is no wonder, then, that smart technology is trending in the HVAC industry as well. Smart thermostats can provide decreased energy usage, automatic adjustments designed to use the least power, and the ability to centralize your control over your climate-control systems. Not to mention, you’ll also save hundreds of dollars a year.

Keep Ducts Clean

AC duct cleaning removes the contaminants from your ducts and immediately improves indoor air quality. Regular duct cleaning also keeps your unit running as efficiently as possible, saving energy and saving money. We recommend that you have your home’s HVAC ductwork cleaned every three to five years (or more often if needed). If it has been a long time since your last AC duct cleaning, you can get back on track by scheduling service with Snyder Heating & Air Conditioning.

Maintain and Sustain

A properly maintained HVAC unit can last for years. Regularly checking up on your HVAC unit will ensure that it is not wasting energy due to malfunction or old age. It also helps diagnose problems that otherwise would have gone undetected and caused bigger issues down the road.

Update the System

The easiest way to guarantee your system is energy efficient is to install a new one. Newer systems built with efficiency in mind streamline maintenance to be both more environmentally friendly and more efficient for everyone involved. New systems also don’t use the harmful refrigerants of days past. If you have a system that is 10 years or older, it may be time to upgrade. Take Snyder’s Repair or Replace quiz to find out.

Customer Reviews

This was an exceptional experience! We woke up to our A/C on but not cooling (it was 6am and already 81 in the house). The person who set up our appointment was very nice, able to get us seen same-day, and let us know of some options to help save us money.

-Christy Cormier

The service from Sam and Chris was excellent! They were very knowledgeable and professional. They were able to answer all of my questions and completed all of my electrical issues. I will definitely use them again for future jobs. Thank you!

-Adrienne Beal

From the get go I could tell that the Snyder employees were truly professionals and didn’t push to make sales like other companies I’ve talked to my whole life. They took the time to explain so that I could make a decision. The installers and later the duct cleaners were very respectful during their work here. Thank you.

-Mike Daniels

Snyder Heating and AC is dependable, always on time and techs have always been courteous and knowledgeable. Emanuel was a great addition to the company. He was friendly and knew what he was doing. Thank you for great service.

-Linda Ackley

Snyder came in and did a total overhaul of our duct system. They had a great knowledge of what to do to make our home so comfortable! The technicians were all so professional and took great care of us! We’re so thankful for their expertise. Great and easy communication with the call center. We will definitely use them again!

-Crystal Hill

Snyder provided an amazing experience from start to finish. Most of us dread getting estimates with pressuring salespeople. Erik was a great guy, explained all my options and didn’t try to pressure me to act quickly! Justin followed up with my husband and I to offer further assistance in our decision. Again, no pressure, just helped with our follow up questions.

-Michele Bauer

Very prompt, professional, courteous, and cleaned up after repair. Had water line break in my front yard and no pressure. Very pleased and would highly recommend Snyder for all your plumbing, and AC needs. Thank you for making a rough morning get better with ease and professionalism.

-Chuck Jr.

Snyder was easy to get in contact with and had availability the next day. Clint came out and needed some parts so had to reschedule us for the next day for installation. He did a great job converting our old 3 knob shower to one. Looks great! Professional and courteous. 100% recommend this company, especially Clint.
