The Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute leads a four-front effort to ease the energy crisis. Energy Conservation, Standards, More Efficient Equipment, and Certification aim to inform, set standards, advance designs, and certify energy use. ARI also plans public info, insulation emphasis, and future building design changes.
ARI began certifying central air conditioning units in 1959 to standardize cooling capacity measures and prevent misleading claims. The Unitary Certification Program requires BTUh ratings, testing, and independent lab verification, with a blue white ARI Seal. Today over 95 percent of residential central cooling is certified, and energy consumption ratings are published to aid consumer comparisons. Mexico MO Ledger June 17 1974.
The Air Condition and Refrigeration Institute promotes energy and money savings in homes with tips on insulation, shading, higher thermostat settings, cool clothing, avoiding heat during peak hours, and keeping equipment clean. It urges proper air flow and limited door opening while working with professionals to develop better building standards.
The ARI certification programs for central residential air conditioners and unitary heat pumps now provide energy use data. The ARI Directory lists certified watts and capacities to help buyers compare energy efficiency. Readers are advised to check if models are self contained or split systems and to discuss with dealers which setup fits their forced warm air homes.
Homeowners planning central air this spring or summer should obtain estimates from two to three reputable dealer contractors for unit size capacity and installed cost. Check installed bases by contacting previous customers, compare size calculations, and verify not just guesses. Review warranties and who pays for parts, labor, and supplies, and confirm unit details in ARI Directory of Certified Unitary Equipment for energy needs.
