Why You Should Consider a Solar A/C System in Edmonton
With the dog days of summer typically comes the buzz about air conditioning costs. In the era of eco-friendly thinking and living, how to decrease that cost in a greener way is a major consideration to many Edmonton homeowners. The question is this: Why hasn’t someone built an air conditioning system that can keep our home cool 24/7, without worrying about escalating energy costs or the environmental impact?
Enter the idea of a solar assisted air conditioner. Now McKinley Heating Service Experts knows what you’re thinking – “It’s going to be a thing of the future, maybe another five years at least.” Believe it or not… it’s already here, right now… today! So here is the system you’ve been waiting for – the first integrated solar-assisted residential heating and air conditioning system: The SunSource™ Comfort System from Lennox®:
Eco-Friendly
The industry’s leading solar-assisted central heat pump utilizes solar energy and electricity to reduce home electric usage. Chlorine-free R410A refrigerant allows exceptional comfort without incurring a costly environmental toll.
ENERGY STAR® Qualified
The system meets or exceeds U.S. EPA guidelines for energy efficiency. This advanced Lennox® system also qualifies for a federal tax credit to reduce your expense; visit the ENERGY STAR website to learn more. Also, many provinces and local municipalities have their own tax credits available, so make sure you explore those additional ways to save.
Tremendous Comfort & Energy Efficiency
Efficiency ratings of up to 18.20 SEER and 9.70 HSPF can save you significant dollars each year compared to a standard heat pump. One solar panel facilitates freely available climate-friendly energy to counterweight the electric usage of the heating and cooling system. A two-stage scroll compressor functions at low speed the majority of the time, which means it’s low-cost to operate and provides more consistent comfort. Plus it’s specifically designed to work with a Humiditrol® whole-home dehumidification system for enhanced comfort control.
Quiet Operation
The SilentComfort™ fan grille uses patent-pending, vortex-suppression technology to reduce the noise of airflow leaving the unit, providing a quieter environment. A fully insulated compressor compartment uses vibration-isolating mounts to soften the operating sound, resulting in extremely low sound pollution.
Reliable Performance
Manufactured with heavy-gauge, pre-painted steel and examined in the most extreme environments to ensure maximum durability, the system also comes with the first onboard cooling system diagnostics in the industry, the Lennox® System Operations Monitor, which always monitors system performance and promises steadfast operation and quick troubleshooting. A 10-Year Limited Warranty on compressor and all remaining covered components (not including the solar panel).
Final Factors
SunSource™ is the first product a Edmonton homeowner needs to consider when exploring an air conditioner or HVAC system replacement (the second being a hybrid home comfort system). Even though heat pumps are not for use in every climate, the environment-friendly features of the SunSource Comfort System make it the ideal system for today’s energy and cost-conscious families.
