Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s no secret that your car’s engine performs best when it is at a warmer temperature. The heat must be able to travel somewhere. That’s the reason why radiators are in.

A cooling system makes use of refrigerant, fans and ductwork to distribute the air. Heating systems use fuel sources such as oil or gasoline to heat the air.

Variable-Speed Technology

When it is about cooling and heating variable speed technology is one of the most significant developments in the past few years. This technology is used by the blower motor in gas furnaces as well as air handlers to operate at varying speeds that regulate airflow throughout your home. This technology is designed to help eliminate hot and cold spots, and also provide enhanced dehumidification during those hot southern summers.

The concept behind variable-speed technology is to match the output of your system to the energy requirements of your home. For example, most people wouldn’t use their car with just one gear, instead choosing to change gears to match the requirements of their vehicle and the road conditions. This is also true for your home. Variable speed systems can provide homeowners and contractors a vast variety of benefits, including energy savings, lower noise levels, improved indoor air quality, and the potential for utility company rebates.

The variable-speed technology lets your system operate more efficiently in low load conditions. This is because traditional systems work at a fixed point, achieving the desired temperature and then cycling off. The system will come back on when the temperature of your home is at the desired comfort level. The constant cycle uses up a lot of energy, especially since the unit is starting up at full capacity.

With a variable speed system, the compressor runs at a lower capacity for extended periods of time and expends much less energy. This means that your system can save up to 30 percent off energy costs.

The use of variable speed technology combination with other energy-saving improvements such as smart controls or zoning systems can boost the overall efficiency and performance of your system. Consult our team of experts to determine if a system with variable speed technology and Greenspeed Intelligence is the right choice for your home.

We can help you to make the best choice for your home. We will explain the advantages of a variable speed system and how it can be used in conjunction with other energy efficient products to provide the best results. Our certified HVAC professionals can help you navigate the process of choosing the right system.

Wi-Fi(r) Controls

Wireless smart thermostats let homeowners to have greater control over their HVAC systems, while reducing energy costs and increasing comfort. These models use wireless communication to communicate with a computer or smartphone app giving users the ability to monitor and alter the temperature of their home remotely. They can also recognize household habits and automatically change routines, reducing energy use when no one is home or enhancing comfort when residents return.

Smart thermostats are simple to use and allow you to check on your system at any time. They can tell when you are away from your home and go into an energy-saving “Away” mode to help you save money on your electric bill. Then, once you are back home, they will return to your regular ‘Home’ setting for optimal comfort.

In comparison to conventional thermostats, the Wi-Fi(r) controls are more advanced and include additional convenience features such as email alerts remote monitoring of the system, a custom web portal that functions like your thermostat, and the capability to control multiple zones from the use of a single device. These are ideal to manage a rental or holiday home from distance.

A programmable thermometer can be programmed to change temperature at different times during the day to provide maximum comfort. This is perfect for homeowners and tenants. With busy schedules children’s activities, and meetings at work it can be a challenge to keep track of the program of a thermostat. A smart thermostat that has a built-in sensor tracks the occupancy of rooms as well as outdoor and indoor temperatures, and humidity to monitor real-time conditions. It also tracks the energy consumption of your home to determine if heating or cooling is needed and makes adjustments accordingly.

The Wi-Fi(r) control’s sensors and smart programming could significantly reduce your home energy consumption by 10 percent or more. They won’t just cut your energy costs but aid in reducing your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier environment.

Energy STAR(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR is one of the most well-known and widely recognized labels in the United States. It’s the little blue label you find on your refrigerator, 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 strict specifications for energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The same standards that are applicable to individual products can also be applied to whole buildings. To be qualified for ENERGY STAR buildings must perform at minimum 15% higher than ASHRAE 90.10-2010 (or state building codes). The performance target is determined by a variety of factors that affect energy consumption in relation to the weather conditions and occupancy. It also takes into consideration the size and the type of cooling and heating systems.

To qualify to be eligible for the ENERGY STAR certification, a structure must undergo an independent verification by an HERS Rater. The HERS Rater examines the insulation, air barrier and HVAC equipment to ensure they are sized and installed correctly. The Rater performs detailed inspections on ventilation and duct leakage.

All of these steps are designed to help homeowners save money and energy while protecting their health and the environment. This is what makes the ENERGY STAR certification an excellent method to add value to any home or apartment building. Studies have proven that ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments are typically sold or rented for higher prices than those that don’t have the certification.

In addition to providing long-term cost savings in the long run, as well as a long-term savings, ENERGY STAR certified buildings have been shown to have lower operating costs than comparable non-certified buildings. They are also more comfortable to live in and use less energy. The EPA estimates that ENERGY STAR-certified homes are able to save Americans $39 billion a year in energy costs.

High-Efficiency Systems

A high-efficiency HVAC system is more than just a way to save money on energy bills. It’s also a great option to cut carbon emissions and also help the environment. High-efficiency systems use up to one third less energy than earlier models, which means lower energy bills. High-efficiency systems reduce greenhouse gas emissions and utilize non-toxic, ozone-friendly refrigerants.

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

High-efficiency systems offer a range of benefits, including increased comfort, quieter operation, and improved indoor air quality. For example, advanced filtration systems remove more harmful contaminants from the air. They can also improve occupant comfort as they provide precise temperature control, removing hot or cold spots.

Heating and cooling accounts for 45percent of the electricity consumed by the average household. Installing a new HVAC system with a high-efficiency unit will begin saving you energy costs from the first bill you receive. You can easily locate an Carrier furnace or AC that meets your needs by looking for the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. The higher the AFUE rating, the more efficient the unit is.

Modern energy-efficient systems can reach up to 98% AFUE, which means that they convert all the heating energy from the source of fuel into warmth for your home. This is a major improvement over traditional furnaces which operate at 80% AFUE and waste 35% of their fuel.

High-efficiency units use less energy than their earlier counterparts, resulting in less greenhouse gas emissions and assisting to conserve the environment. They can also use non-toxic refrigerants that eliminate the need to create chemicals that harm the ozone layer. By incorporating high-efficiency systems into green construction projects, contractors and building owners can reduce their environmental impact. These systems also help cut construction costs, making them a smart investment for both occupants and builders alike.
