Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s no secret that the engine in your car works best when it’s warm. The heat has to go somewhere. Radiators are the solution.

A cooling system utilizes refrigerant, fans and ductwork to distribute air. Heating systems make use of fuel sources like oil or gasoline to warm the air.

Variable-Speed Technology

Variable speed technology is a major breakthrough in heating and cooling. This technology is used by the blower motor in gas furnaces as well as air handlers to operate at various speeds to regulate airflow in your home. This technology is designed to eliminate cold and hot spots, and also provide enhanced dehumidification during those hot summer days.

The idea behind variable speed technology is to ensure that the system’s output is in line to the needs of your home’s energy. For instance, the majority of people wouldn’t use their car with only a single gear, instead opting to shift gears according to the drive demands of the vehicle and the road conditions. The same principle applies in your home. Variable speed systems offer homeowners and contractors with a variety of benefits, including energy savings, reduced sound levels, improved indoor air quality, and the possibility for utility company rebates.

Variable-speed technology also allows your system to operate more efficiently during light load conditions. This is because the traditional systems utilize a setpoint, reaching the desired temperature before turning off. The system will return to the cycle when the temperature of your home reaches the desired comfort level. The constant cycle uses up an enormous amount of energy, especially since the system is running at full capacity.

A variable-speed system permits the compressor to run at a lower rate for longer periods of time, while using less energy. This means that your system is able to save up to 30% on energy costs.

Variable speed technology can be used in combination with other energy efficiency improvements such as zoning systems and smart controls to boost your system’s overall efficiency and performance. Contact our expert team to determine if a system with variable speed technology and Greenspeed Intelligence is the right option for your home.

We can assist you in making the right choice 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 provide the best results. Our certified HVAC professionals have the expertise to guide you through the selection process.

Wi-Fi(r) Controls

Smart thermostats that are wireless allow homeowners to have more control over their HVAC systems, while reducing energy bills and increasing comfort. These models use wireless communication to connect to smartphones or computers, allowing users the ability to monitor and adjust the temperature of their home from afar. These devices also learn the habits of households and automatically adjust schedules, reducing energy consumption when no one is at home or enhancing comfort when residents return.

Smart thermostats are simple to use and let you monitor your system at any time. They will detect when you are away from home and switch to an energy-saving “Away” mode to save on your electric bill. Then, once you are back at home, they will return to the normal ‘Home’ setting for optimal comfort.

The Wi-Fi(r) controls are more sophisticated than standard programmable thermostats and include additional features for convenience, such as emails remote system monitoring, and a custom web portal that displays like your thermostat. They also allow you to manage multiple zones from a single device. They are perfect for managing a rental or vacation home from distance.

A thermostat that can be programmed can be programmed to adjust the temperature at different periods of the day to provide the best comfort for homeowners as well as renters. However, with hectic schedules children’s activities, and work meetings it can be a challenge to keep up with the schedule of a thermostat that is programmable. A smart thermostat that has a built-in sensor tracks occupancy in rooms, indoor and outdoor temperatures, and humidity to monitor real-time conditions. It also tracks energy usage in order to determine whether heating or cooling is required and makes the necessary adjustments.

The Wi-Fi(r) control’s sensors and smart programming could drastically reduce your home’s energy consumption by 10 percent or more. They’ll not only reduce your energy costs but also help to lower your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier environment.

ENERGY START(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR has become one of the most recognizable and easily recognized brands across the United States. It’s that little blue label you see on your fridge, light bulbs 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 the strict energy efficiency standards and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

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

To be eligible to be eligible for the ENERGY STAR certification, a structure must be verified by an HERS Rater. The HERS Rater inspects the insulation, air barrier, and HVAC equipment to make sure that they’re installed and sized correctly. The Rater conducts thorough inspections of vent leakage and duct leakage.

These actions can help homeowners save energy and money while also safeguarding their health and the environment. This makes the ENERGY STAR a great way to increase the value of any home or apartment. Research has shown that ENERGY STAR certified apartments and homes are typically sold or rented at higher prices than those that do not have the certification.

Buildings that are certified by ENERGY START are not only more energy efficient, but they also have lower operating costs. They are also more comfortable to live in and consume less energy. As a result, the EPA estimates that ENERGY homes that are ENERGY STAR certified can save Americans over $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 can also aid the environment and cut down on carbon emissions. High-efficiency systems consume as much as a third less energy than previous models, which results in lower utility bills and substantial energy savings. Besides the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, high-efficiency systems use non-toxic refrigerants, which don’t harm the ozone layer.

It could cost more to install a brand new high-efficiency, energy-efficient system than an older model. However, it will pay for itself over time by lowering costs for energy and maintenance. It can also increase the value of your home’s equity and make it easier to sell your home when the time comes.

High-efficiency systems can provide a wide range of benefits, including increased comfort, less noise and improved indoor air. For instance, advanced filtration systems remove more harmful pollutants from the air. The systems can also improve the comfort of occupants by providing precise temperature control and removing hot or cold spots.

Heating and cooling use the most energy in an average home accounting for 45% of household electricity use. You can begin saving money on your energy bills as soon as you replace your old HVAC system with a more efficient unit. The annual fuel utilization efficiency rating (AFUE) will assist you in locating the Carrier AC or furnace that best suits your requirements. The higher the AFUE rating is, the more efficient the unit is.

The latest energy-efficient models are capable of converting up to 98 percent of the energy generated by the fuel source directly into heat for your home. This is a significant improvement over traditional furnaces which operate at 80% AFUE and waste 35% of their fuel.

High-efficiency units also use less energy than their older counterparts, which results in less greenhouse gas emissions and helping to conserve the environment. They can also make use of non-toxic refrigerants that eliminate the need to create chemical products that damage the ozone layer. By incorporating high-efficiency systems into green construction projects, contractors and building owners can help minimize environmental impact. These systems can also reduce construction costs and are a wise investment for builders and occupants alike.
