SF6-Schaltanlage (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Using SF6 has been very popular for a long time now. The issue is that, although SF6 is a great material, it also leaves behind at tremendous amount of greenhouse gas and this is extremely bad for the environment.

In order to address this issue, users of SF6 can consider the use of reclaimed SF6 as opposed to using Virgin SF6. It explains some of the benefits of using reclaim SF6 as opposed to virgin SF6. General benefits of reclaim SF6 may include reduced costs and benefits from initiatives started by EPA.

Not to mention that reclaim SF6 still fits the specifications that virgin materials are used for. Help sustain the environment by using reclaim SF6.

As knowledge of the impacts of #SF6 mount, we examine whether it is better to #reclaim or buy #virgin. http://t.co/zvn4D7fkYU

The government shutdown not only will affect the HVAC industry, but also the environment as a whole. While the government shutdown lasts, EPA and DOE will remain shutdown and this is a major blow for the HVAC industry as it relies on these two government organizations for regulations.

With the government shutdown, the HVAC industry is in the dark over compliance issues that require immediate attention and resolutions. Without the DOE and EPA, environmental issues will have to take a backseat and this is a major area of concern as it can have tremendous ripple affects for our social well-being in the long term.

You never know what could be hiding behind the vent of your hotel room air conditioning unit. Many units are simply forgotten about in the daily clean-up of the room and they can be riddled with mold or rust and be releasing horrible smells into the air.

The next time you are staying in a hotel room, be sure to look at the wall unit and make sure you are not contaminating yourself of family. If corrosion or mold is discovered, you can speak with the front desk and have them clean the unit or request to be changed to a new room.

Why were this Mississippi woman’s energy bills running $600 in the summer? She called the local co-op energy company to find out.

They sent someone to investigate. She explained to him that the air conditioner ran night and day, yet the house did not cool down. In fact, the house was extremely uncomfortable, never cooling to below 80 degrees.

After checking the attic for a possible disconnected duct and finding that intact, he turned off the electrical resistance heat(a.k.a. strip heat) in the HVAC system. This is where he found the problem: the heating and cooling system were running at the same time.

LG Electronics announces a new and compact HVAC system that is designed for high-rises and eliminates the hassle of larger and more complex machines. Previously, large buildings had to make do with large rooftop and other outdoor assemblies.

By contrast, the LG Multi V Water Mini weighs 168 pounds and can easily fit into any closet. The unit operates quietly and requires no cumbersome electrical upgrades. In addition, the Water Mini’s new compressor design and optimized heat exchanger reduces energy consumption and cost, as determined by AHRI.

The Multi V Water Mini is the first entrant in a new generation of HVAC systems from LG that aim to reduce energy use, decrease floor space requirements and simplify operations. With the Water Mini, LG is poised to enter a growing market where consumers can take advantage of HVAC technology without the associated hassles.

We can design the perfect HVAC systems for your comfort all year long. http://t.co/yce1jGxUft.
