Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s not a secret that the engine of your car performs best when it is at a warmer temperature. However, that heat must go somewhere. That’s where the radiator comes in.

A cooling system uses refrigerant, fans and ductwork to distribute the air. Heating systems use fuel sources like oil or gasoline to heat the air.

Variable-Speed Technology

Variable speed technology is a major advancement in the field of heating and cooling. The blower motors in gas furnaces and air handlers use this technology to regulate airflow through your home. This technology is designed to allow for an uniform distribution of air throughout your home, which reduces hot and cold areas.

The idea behind variable-speed technology is to match your system’s output to your home’s energy needs. For instance, most people wouldn’t use their car with only a single gear, instead choosing to shift gears according to the drive demands of the vehicle and the road conditions. This concept also works in your home. Variable speed systems provide homeowners and contractors a wide array of benefits that include energy savings, lower noise levels, better indoor air quality and potential for utility company rebates.

Variable-speed technology also allows your system to operate more efficiently in low load situations. This is because traditional systems use a setpoint, at the desired temperature, before cycling off. When the home’s temperature rises, the system cycles back on to return to your desired temperature. This constant cycling expends lots of energy, especially since the unit is starting up at full capacity again.

A variable-speed system allows the compressor to operate at a lower capacity for longer periods of time, while using less energy. Your system could save you up to 30% in energy costs.

Variable speed technology can be utilized in combination with other energy efficiency improvements like zoning systems and smart controls to boost the efficiency of your system and performance. Consult our team of experts to determine whether a system that has variable speed technology and Greenspeed Intelligence is the right option for your home.

We can help you make the right decision for your home by describing the benefits of a system that uses variable-speed technology, and how it can be paired with other energy-efficient products to deliver optimal results. Our certified HVAC professionals can assist you in the process of choosing the right system.

Wi-Fi(r) Controls

Smart thermostats that are wireless give homeowners more control over their HVAC system, while reducing energy consumption and enhancing comfort. These models use wireless technology to connect with a smartphone application or computer, allowing homeowners to monitor and adjust the temperature of their home remotely. These devices also learn household habits and automatically alter schedules, reducing energy consumption when no one is at home or enhancing comfort when residents return.

Smart thermostats are easy to use and let you check your system at any time. They can tell when you are away from home and switch to an energy-saving “Away” mode to help you save money on your electric bills. When you’re back in the house they will switch back to the normal Home setting to ensure optimal comfort.

The Wi-Fi(r) controls are more advanced than traditional thermostats that can be programmed and come with additional convenience features like email notifications remote system monitoring, and a customizable web-based portal that functions as your thermostat. They also allow you to control multiple zones with a single device. They are the perfect solution to manage a vacation home or rental property from afar.

A programmable thermostat can be programmed to adjust the temperature in different times of the day to provide the best comfort for homeowners as well as renters. It can be hard to keep track of the scheduling of a thermometer programmable particularly when you have a busy schedule and kids’ activities. Smart thermostats with built-in sensors monitor the occupancy of rooms as well as outdoor temperatures and indoor humidity to keep track of the current conditions. It also monitors energy consumption to determine if heating or cooling is required and makes the necessary adjustments.

The Wi-Fi(r) control’s sensors and intelligent programming can dramatically reduce your home’s energy consumption by 10 percent or more. They won’t just cut your energy bills but also help to lower your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier environment.

Energy START(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR is one of the most well-known and recognized labels in the United States. You’ll find it on appliances, lighting bulbs, refrigerators and other appliances. When you buy products with the ENERGY STAR logo, you are assured that they’ve been independently tested and verified to meet strict energy efficiency specifications and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The same standards that apply to individual products can be applied to entire buildings. To be eligible for ENERGY STAR buildings must be at minimum 15% better than the ASHRAE 90.10-2010 (or state building codes). The performance goal is based on a number factors that affect energy consumption such as weather conditions and occupancy. It also considers the size and the type of cooling and heating systems.

To be eligible for the ENERGY STAR certification, a structure must undergo an independent verification by a HERS Rater. The HERS Rater inspects the insulation, air barrier, and HVAC equipment within a home to ensure they are properly installed and sized properly. The Rater also conducts thorough inspections of duct and ventilation leakage.

All of these actions will aid homeowners in saving money and energy while safeguarding their health and the environment. This is what makes the ENERGY STAR certification a great way to add value to any apartment or home. Studies have proven that ENERGY STAR certified apartments and homes are typically sold or rented for higher prices than those that don’t have the certification.

In addition to delivering long-term cost savings, in addition to delivering long-term cost savings, STAR certified buildings have been proven to have lower operating costs than comparable buildings. They are also more comfortable and use less electricity. In turn, the EPA estimates that ENERGY STAR homes save Americans more than $39 billion in energy costs each year.

High-Efficiency Systems

A high-efficiency HVAC system is more than an option to save money on energy bills. It also has the potential to aid the environment and cut down on carbon emissions. High-efficiency systems can use up to one third less energy than earlier versions, resulting in lower energy bills. Apart from reducing greenhouse gas emissions, high-efficiency systems use non-toxic refrigerants that won’t harm the Ozone layer.

It could cost more to install a brand new, high-efficiency system than a more traditional model. However it will be able to pay for itself over time in the form of lower energy bills and maintenance costs. It can also increase the value of your home, making it easier to resell.

High-efficiency systems provide a wide variety of benefits, including enhanced comfort, quieter operation, and improved indoor air quality. For instance, advanced filters remove more harmful contaminants from the air. The systems can also improve the comfort of the occupants by offering precise temperature control and removing hot or cold spots.

Heating and cooling use the most energy in the average home, accounting for 45percent of the household’s electrical usage. You will start saving money on your energy bills once you replace your old HVAC system with an energy-efficient unit. The annual fuel utilization efficiency rating (AFUE) will help you find the Carrier AC or furnace that best suits your needs. The greater the AFUE, the greater the efficiency.

Modern energy-efficient systems can convert up to 98% of the energy in the fuel source directly into heat for your home. This is a vast improvement over conventional furnaces that operate at just 80percent AFUE, and wasting 35% of the fuel they burn.

High-efficiency units also use less energy than their earlier counterparts, causing fewer greenhouse gas emissions and assisting to preserve the environment. They can also use non-toxic refrigerants, which eliminate the need to create chemical products that harm the ozone layer. Building owners and contractors can reduce the environmental impact of their projects by incorporating high-efficiency system into green construction projects. These systems can also help reduce the cost of construction which makes it a good investment both for builders and the building’s occupants.
