Innovations in Heating and Cooling
It’s not a secret that the engine of your car is most efficient when it’s warm. This heat must go somewhere. That’s the reason why radiators are in.
A cooling system utilizes refrigerant, fans and ductwork to distribute the air. Heating systems use fuel sources such as gasoline or oil to warm the air.
Variable-Speed Technology
Variable speed technology is a major innovation in heating and cooling. The blower motors in gas furnaces and air handlers utilize this technology to regulate the airflow through your home. This technology is designed to help remove hot and cold spots, as well as improve dehumidification during the 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. Most people would not drive their car in only one gear. Instead, they’d change gears according to the requirements of the vehicle or road conditions. This concept also works in your home. Variable speed systems offer homeowners and contractors with a variety of advantages, including energy savings, reduced sound levels, improved indoor air quality, and the potential for utility company rebates.
Variable-speed technology allows your system to work more efficiently in light load conditions. This is because traditional systems utilize a setpoint, reaching the desired temperature before turning off. The system will cycle back on when the temperature in your home is at the desired level of comfort. This continuous cycle consumes lots of energy, particularly since the unit is starting up at full capacity again.
A variable-speed system permits the compressor to operate at a lower level for longer periods of time, while using less energy. The result is that your system is able to save up to 30 percent on energy costs.
The use of variable speed technology conjunction with other energy-saving upgrades like zoning systems or smart controls can improve the overall effectiveness and performance of your system. Contact our team of experts whether a system that utilizes Greenspeed Intelligence and variable speed technology is suitable for your home.
We can help you make the right choice for your home by explaining the advantages of a system using variable-speed technology and how it can be combined with other energy-efficient products to deliver optimal results. Our certified HVAC experts can assist you in the process of selecting the right system.

Wi-Fi(r) Controls
Wireless smart thermostats allow homeowners to take greater control over their HVAC systems, while also reducing energy costs and increasing comfort. These models make use of wireless technology to connect with a smartphone application or computer, allowing homeowners to monitor and control their home’s temperature remotely. Based on the model they can also detect patterns in the household and automatically adjust schedules to reduce energy consumption when there is no one home or to maximize comfort when the residents are at home.
Smart thermostats allow you to monitor your system at all times. They will even know when you’re away from your home and go into an energy-saving mode called ‘Away’ to help save on your energy bills. Once you return home, they will switch to the ”Home” mode for the best comfort.
The Wi-Fi(r), controls are more advanced than conventional thermostats and offer added convenience features, such as emails, remote system monitoring and a personalised web portal that acts as your thermostat. They also allow you to manage multiple zones from the same device. These are ideal for managing a rental property or vacation home from far away.
A thermostat that is programmable can be programmed to alter the temperature during different times of the day to ensure optimal comfort for homeowners and renters. It can be difficult to keep track of the scheduling of a thermometer programmable particularly with busy schedules and children’s activities. A smart thermostat that has an inbuilt sensor monitors occupancy in rooms temperature, indoor and outdoor temperatures and humidity to track the current conditions. It also monitors energy use in order to determine whether cooling or heating is needed and makes the necessary adjustments.
Sensors and smart programming of the Wi-Fi(r), control can reduce your home’s energy consumption by as much as 10%. They not only help reduce your energy costs but also reduce the carbon footprint of your home, and help to create a cleaner environmental footprint.
Energy STAR(r) Certification
ENERGY STAR has become one of the most recognized and easily recognized labels across the United States. It’s that little blue label you see on your fridge, light bulbs and other appliances. You can be confident that the items bearing the ENERGY STAR label have been independently tested to ensure that they meet strict energy efficiency standards and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The same standards that apply to specific products can be applied to entire buildings. To be eligible for ENERGY STAR certification buildings must exhibit at least 15% higher performance than ASHRAE 90.1-2010 (or the state building code that it is allowed). The performance target is determined by a variety of factors that influence energy usage such as the weather conditions and occupancy. It also takes into consideration the size and the type of cooling and heating systems.
To be eligible to be eligible for the ENERGY STAR certification, a building must undergo an independent verification by an HERS Rater. The HERS Rater examines the insulation, air barrier and HVAC equipment in a house to make sure they are installed and sized correctly. The Rater also conducts thorough inspections of ventilation and duct leakage.
These steps will help homeowners save energy and money while also protecting their health and the environment. This makes ENERGY STAR an excellent option to increase the value of any apartment or home. Research has shown that ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments are usually rented or sold at higher rates than those that don’t have the certification.
In addition to providing long-term cost savings In addition to delivering long-term cost savings, ENERGY STAR certified buildings have also been shown to have lower operating costs than comparable non-certified buildings. They are also more comfortable to live in and use less energy. In turn, the EPA estimates that ENERGY STAR homes can save Americans more than $39 billion in energy costs each year.
High-Efficiency Systems
A high-efficiency HVAC system is more than just a way to reduce your energy bills. It also has the potential to help the environment and reduce carbon emissions. High-efficiency systems use up to a third less energy than previous versions, which results in lower utility bills. Apart from decreasing greenhouse gas emissions high-efficiency systems make use of non-toxic refrigerants, which don’t harm the ozone layer.
It could cost more to install a new, high-efficiency system than a more traditional model. However it will pay for itself over time by lowering costs for energy and maintenance. It could also boost the value of your home’s equity which makes it easier to sell when the time comes.
High-efficiency systems provide a variety of benefits like improved comfort, quieter operation, and improved indoor air. Advanced filtration systems, for example can remove harmful contaminants. These systems can enhance the comfort of occupants by providing precise temperature control, removing hot or cold patches.
Heating and cooling consume the most energy in the average home and account for 45percent of the household’s electrical usage. You can begin saving on your energy costs when you replace your old HVAC system with a more energy-efficient unit. The annual fuel utilization efficiency rating (AFUE) will assist you in locating the Carrier AC or furnace that best suits your needs. The higher the AFUE rating, the more efficient the unit is.
The latest energy-efficient models can convert up to 98% of the energy in the fuel source directly into heat for your home. This is a vast improvement over standard furnaces that operate at only 20% AFUE and waste 35 percent of the fuel they burn.
High-efficiency units consume less energy and release less greenhouse gases than previous models, helping to conserve the earth. They also can use non-toxic refrigerants that eliminate the need to produce chemicals that harm the Ozone layer. By incorporating high-efficiency systems into green construction projects, builders and contractors owners can reduce their environmental impact. These systems also help cut construction costs and are a wise investment for builders and occupants alike.
