Benefits of Eco-Friendly Technology
These days, almost everyone is talking about how to become more eco-friendly. From electric cars to recycling, there are plenty of ways to lessen your impact on the environment.
As technology continues to advance, there are even more opportunities to reduce your carbon footprint. Here are the benefits of having eco-friendly technology on your journey to a cleaner Earth.
HIGH SEER AIR CONDITIONER
In most homes, you will find air conditioners, air conditioners can draw a lot of energy and increase your carbon footprint. Here in South Florida, we have a very hot and humid climate where air conditioners are usually used all year round. When an air conditioner is labeled as “high SEER,” this means that it operates at a higher efficiency than other units. Having a high SEER unit allows your AC to consistently run at lower speeds, drawing less energy and providing even better temperature control throughout the day. This helps fight climate change, lessen your footprint, and keep energy costs low.
CONTROL4 PANELS
Control4 Panels are another advanced piece of eco-friendly technology. These panels allow you to control your home, where you are able to do more than one thing at once. With a Control4 Panel, you can schedule your window shades to close at the sunniest of times, to block out any extra heat which would make your conditioners run harder. This panel also controls all of the lights in your home, allowing you to be able to turn them off and not waste energy.
PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTATS
Programmable Thermostats allow you to control the temperature of your home even from miles away. This thermostat can be controlled remotely from your phone, allowing you to adjust your climate from anywhere in the world. You can also connect your AC and program it to draw even less energy when you’re not home. This use of climate control in your home can significantly reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
