A new solar-assisted heat pump allows homeowners to lower carbon dioxide production by an impressive 370 pounds a year, the equivalent of planting seven mature trees or carpooling to work one day each week.
By drawing energy from a solar panel during peak daylight hours and using it to help power the outdoor fan, the new Lennox SunSource heat pump can save homeowners up to 8 percent on their electric bills. Homeowners may also save with federal tax credits of up to $1,500 for new energy-efficient systems.
"We're pleased and excited to offer customers this innovative new product," said Todd Lindsey, general manager at Absolute Zero, the local distributor for the new solar product.
"Our company is always looking for ways to serve our clients better, and this is a great opportunity to provide them with green, cutting-edge technology that helps them save money and helps the environment at the same time."
The new solar-assisted heat pump is part of an extensive high-efficiency product line offered by Absolute Zero. In addition to residential and business installations, the leading-edge air conditioning, heating and electrical company sells, services, maintains and repairs all types of HVAC systems.
Absolute Zero has been providing HVAC services in the valley for over 18 years. Their uniformed NATE-certified technicians are GPS-dispatched 24/7 for rapid service. The APS-qualified business has a complaint-free record with the Arizona ROC and an excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau.
"We do every job the right way," Lindsey said. The contractor partners with an energy auditing company to help customers discover more ways to save, and offers a financing option for buying a new system.
Absolute Zero provides a range of services to improve energy efficiency, including custom sheet metal fabrication, indoor air quality systems and a variety of products and services for commercial customers.
"Our company is unique because we have our own metal fabrication shop with the latest plasma cutting machines," Lindsey explained. "This reduces material waste and makes our HVAC systems more efficient."

Solar Energy Systems Installs Largest Multi-Unit Residential PV System In NYC
Having earned original acclaim for world-renowned architect I.M. Pei's innovative use of cast-in-place exposed concrete, the distinctly modern design of Kips Bay Towers stood in stark contrast to the traditionally brick facades that had come to dominate many cityscapes of the 1960's.
Now, under the management of Cooper Square Realty and in partnership with Solar Energy Systems, LLC (SES), Kips Bay has distinguished itself once again.
The 1,120 unit property installed the largest multi-family residential solar array in New York City, a 54.28 kW DC solar photovoltaic (PV) system, which is now located atop the 20 story towers.
"Installing solar panels on the bulkhead of a 20 story building in the middle of Manhattan presents an obvious physical challenge. From an electrical standpoint, older NYC buildings can offer a variety of infrastructure challenges as well," said SES President, David Buckner.
"Fortunately, we overcame that at Kips Bay by finding a code compliant interconnection point up at the top instead of in the basement. Overall, this project was a success due to the concerted effort of everyone involved," Buckner added.
Care was taken to avoid disruptions to resident life during installation. According to Yvette Diaz, Senior Property Manager at Kips Bay Towers, "We got no complaints and no interruptions whatsoever when they did the electrical turnover, which was amazing!"
From a client perspective, "It was a pleasure working with SES," Diaz added. "They kept us informed, assisted with a Q and A packet for residents and helped get the community to vote 'yes' on the project," said Diaz.
Through the NYSERDA Solar Electric Incentives Programs, the project was eligible for a rebate that covered nearly 50% of the cost. Additional incentives (state and federal tax credits, a property tax abatement and annual energy savings) made "going green" an exceptionally wise investment for Kips Bay Towers.
