Our Environment

Having spent the last year in living in the south in a home with a wood heater and no central heat or air I discovered that air conditioning is a wonderful thing. One of the few breaks I got from the heat was driving to and from work. Since I worked in customer service I couldn’t show up for work hot and sweaty so I would drive with the A/C on full blast! It felt great.

Toward the end of the summer I noticed that my air conditioner wasn’t as cold as it used to be. When I called around to see what needed to be done to recharge the A/C unit it was definitely a learning experience. I decided to do a little investigating on the internet to see what I could learn. While searching I came across a link for Enviro-safe refrigerant. There are several reasons why I would recommend it, but a few are to follow:

Safer on the environment than Freon (zero ozone depleting)
Available with leak detection
Extends the life of your compressor and other A/C parts
Colder than other refrigerants
Does not require retrofitting

Enviro-safe refrigerant is even endorsed by GreenPeace and is an organic, non-toxic, non-ozone depleting hydrocarbon compound. Not only is Enviro-safe better for the environment but it is also less expensive to use. One 6 ounce can of it is equivalent to 18 ounces of Freon or 16 ounces of 134a. And since it is extends the life of my automobile’s air conditioning without using a retrofit I can save some money and help save the planet.
