Why Upgrade Your Air Conditioner?
MONOLITH HOUSING
Older air conditioning units often consume far more energy than necessary. By switching to a high-efficiency central or ductless AC system, you can lower your energy use, improve indoor comfort, and reduce your environmental impact.
Modern ENERGY STAR®-rated air conditioners offer:
Up to 40% lower energy consumption compared to standard models
Quieter operation and better humidity control
Compatibility with smart thermostats and advanced filtration systems
Longer equipment lifespan with reduced maintenance
An EnerGuide Home or Building Evaluation from Monolith Housing ensures your new system meets program efficiency standards while identifying other upgrade opportunities.
