Being Green at Isaac


Isaac Takes Environmental Responsibility Seriously
We believe being green begins with awareness, and opening our eyes to better and more thoughtful service and installation methods that reduce our company's environmental impact, while often enhancing the energy efficiency of your home at the same time.
The greater care and leading-edge procedures we incorporate in our daily work saves you in operating costs, lengthens the life of your home comfort equipment (reducing waste), and helps our environment.
Here are a few of the ways we're greener at Isaac -
  • We recycle and carefully manage all refrigerants(coolants from AC) to prevent release into the atmosphere, potentially harming the ozone, or polluting our air.
  • All our technicians are EPA certified so they know how to recycle these gases properly.
  • We began using soon-to-be mandated environmentally safer refrigerants three years ago, when only 3% of heating and cooling contractors were doing so.
  • We also recycle batteries, copper, steel, iron, wood, capacitors, fan motors, mercury, thermostats, limit controls, paper and cardboard on a regular basis.
  • Recycling boxes are strategically placed throughout all of our offices.

Go Green


Get Green Savings with Isaac
Because our environment matters, Isaac brings you a variety of ideas to save energy and resources while you cut heating and cooling costs in your home.  It's a great way to be good to the environment....and your wallet!

High-Efficiency Heating
  • 10 year-old furnaces are likely to be only 70 to 80% efficient
  • That means 20 to 30¢ of every energy dollar is being wasted
  • Today's furnaces are 95% efficient
Call us today to find out how you can save hundreds of dollars annually with a high-efficiency, high-quality furnace

Geothermal Heat Pumps
  • Utilize the earth's ability to store heat and turn it into significant fuel savings and cut your electric use by up to 72% (compared to electric resistance heating)
  • Extremely energy efficient systems can reduce the cost of heating, cooling and hot water expenses to as low as $100 per month for a 2,000 square-foot home
  • No noise concerns or outdoor condensing units
  • As energy costs rise, you'll save even more while your payback time decreases
Regular Cleanings and Safety Inspections
  • A typical home A/C system that's low on refrigerant by 1/2 pound will lose 25% in efficiency, increasing electricity use correspondingly
  • Leaks in A/C systems allow greenhouse gases to escape into the air and reduce your system's efficiency
  • Dirty heating systems cost more to run and increase energy consumption
  • Our Seal of Security Protection Plans offer annual cleanings, precision tune-ups and safety inspections to help your home become as energy efficient as possible
  • Save money on service calls, labor and parts while ensuring optimal efficiency from all of your heating and cooling systems
Tankless Water Heaters
  • New, tankless water heating systems by Navian and Rinnai heat water on demand instead of constantly heating as with a traditional tank system
  • Get greater energy efficiency (save up to 40% on energy costs) and reduce your home's energy footprint†
  • Navien units are up to 98% energy efficient and eliminate over 85% of flue gas wasted by standard water heaters, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by at least 420lbs. per unit per year
  • Save, on average, $160 on water heating costs per year*
  • Tankless units last two to three times longer than traditional water heaters, creating less metal and glass that must be recycled or placed in a landfill**
Variable-Speed Blowers
  • New variable-speed blowers use one-sixth the energy of older blowers when connected to your forced-air system
  • If you run the fan all year for circulation, you could save up to $150 in electricity costs - and cut consumption - on blower operation alone
Water Purification
  • Get bottled-water quality for as little as three cents per gallon!
  • Filter out potentially harmful pollutants and odors while providing great tasting H2O
  • Save significantly over bottled-water purchases and reduce plastic consumption and waste
  • 25% of all large U.S. public water systems contain traces of one or more toxic substances, so purification makes sense for your family
Programmable Thermostats
  • Benefit from energy savings combined with improved comfort and convenience
  • Stop wasting energy and dollars when you are away from home or during sleeping hours
  • With proper use, typical savings on heating/cooling costs average 10% per year††
  • More environmentally positive than traditional thermostats, as they contain no mercury and are eco-friendly
