Global Warming is Supercharging this Industry, and the Consequences are Bad

As temperatures rise, more and more people will be using air conditioning. This can be bad considering that our main sources of energy aren't sustainable.

Every year, the average temperature of Earth increases. That’s a fact considering that global warming has been a phenomenon happening for years. As the years get hotter, demand for air conditioning units has skyrocketed, giving the HVAC industry a catalyst for a long time.

With more and more people using air conditioning, more and more emissions are created. As air conditioning remains one of the biggest sources of energy usage, replacing the energy sources from fossil fuels to renewable/zero-emission will not only take time but a heavy investment. Plus, the number of air conditioning units is expected to quadruple by 2050, making emissions really high.

To combat the issue, air conditioning units need to be more energy-efficient. Not only do consumers and businesses save trillions of dollars in energy costs but more jobs will be created as well. Not only that but making air conditioning units efficient will also curb emissions and avoid the depletion of resources.

However, a big problem with solving the efficiency issue for air conditioning units is cost. Investing resources into making air conditioning units efficient will make them more expensive. This will make it harder for consumers to switch their current HVAC units for a more efficient HVAC unit.

For entrepreneurs looking for an opportunity in the HVAC industry, consider providing low-income households with cooling units. According to an article, many low-income households don’t have an AC unit, and those that do usually have a cheaper and less efficient AC unit. If you can create an HVAC unit that is affordable and energy-efficient, then you have many customers that look forward to your product.

Altogether, by focusing on the efficiency of cooling units amidst global warming, we can curb emissions, survive global warming, and reduce our energy bills. The opportunity being presented here is big and will create a lot of value for the world.
