Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s not a secret that the engine of your car works best when it’s warm. The heat has to go somewhere. Radiators are the answer.

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

Variable-Speed Technology

When it is about cooling and heating variable speed technology, it is one of the most significant developments in the last few years. This technology is used by the blower motor in both gas furnaces and air handlers to operate at different speeds that regulate airflow throughout your home. This technology is designed to help eliminate cold and hot spots, and also enhance dehumidification during those hot summer months in the south.

The idea behind variable speed technology is to match the system’s output to the needs of your home’s energy. Most people would not drive their vehicle in one gear. Instead, they would shift gears in accordance with the demands of driving the vehicle or road conditions. This concept also works in your home. Variable speed systems can provide homeowners and contractors a vast array of benefits that include energy savings, less 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 operate on a set point, attaining the desired temperature and then shutting off. If the temperature in your home increases then the system turns on again to reach the desired temperature. This constant cycling consumes much more energy since the system is running at its maximum capacity.

A variable-speed system permits the compressor to operate at a lower rate for longer periods of time, consuming less energy. The system could save you up to 30% on energy costs.

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

We can assist you in making the right decision for your home by explaining the advantages of a system with variable-speed technology and how it can be paired with other energy efficient products to give you the best results. Our licensed HVAC professionals have the knowledge to guide you through the selection process.

Wi-Fi(r) Controls

Smart thermostats that are wireless allow homeowners to have greater control over their HVAC systems while reducing energy costs and enhancing comfort. These models use wireless technology to connect with a smartphone app or computer, allowing users to monitor and control the temperature of their home remotely. Based on the model they can also learn household patterns and automatically change schedules to reduce energy consumption when there is no one home or maximize comfort when residents are at home.

Smart thermostats are easy to use and allow you to monitor your system at any time. They will even know when you’re not at home and switch to an energy-saving ‘Away’ mode to help reduce your power 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 offer additional features for convenience, such as email alerts, remote monitoring of the system, a customized web portal that functions as your thermostat, and the capability to control multiple zones from the use of a single device. They are perfect for managing a rental or vacation home from afar.

A thermostat that can be programmed can be programmed to adjust the temperature at different periods of the day, ensuring the best comfort for homeowners as well as renters. However, with hectic schedules with kids’ activities, meetings at work it can be a challenge to keep up with the program of a thermostat. Smart thermostats with built-in sensors track room occupancy as well as outdoor temperatures and indoor humidity to track the conditions in real-time. It also monitors energy consumption to determine if cooling or heating is needed and makes the necessary adjustments.

The Wi-Fi(r) control’s sensors and smart programming can dramatically reduce your home’s energy consumption by 10 percent or more. They not only help reduce your energy costs but also reduce your carbon footprint and help to create a cleaner environment.

Energy START(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR has become one of the most recognizable and easily recognized brands across the United America. You’ll see it on your appliances, lighting bulbs, refrigerators and other appliances. When you purchase items bearing the ENERGY STAR logo, you know they’re independently tested and certified to meet stringent energy efficiency specifications and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The same guidelines that apply for individual products can also be applied to entire building. To earn ENERGY STAR certification, buildings must demonstrate at least 15% more performance than the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 (or the state building code that it is permitted). The performance goal includes a range of factors that affect the energy use of buildings, such as the weather conditions, occupancy levels, and the size of the heating and cooling system and the type.

A home must be independently checked by a HERS Rater in order to be eligible for Energy STAR Certification. The HERS Rater checks the insulation, air barrier and HVAC equipment in a house to make sure they are installed and sized properly. The Rater conducts thorough inspections of the ducts and ventilation.

All of these steps are designed to help homeowners save energy and money while protecting their health and the environment. This makes ENERGY STAR certification an excellent method to increase the value of any home or apartment building. Research has shown that ENERGY START-certified homes and apartments are more likely to be rented or sold at higher prices.

The buildings that are ENERGY STAR certified are not only more energy efficient, but also have lower operating costs. They also feel more comfortable and use less electricity. As a result, the EPA estimates that ENERGY STAR homes will 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 is also a great way to reduce carbon emissions and improve the environment. High-efficiency systems consume up to a third less energy than older models, which means lower utility bills. Apart from reducing greenhouse gas emissions, high-efficiency systems are made of non-toxic refrigerants that don’t damage the ozone layer.

It may cost more to install a brand new high-efficiency, energy-efficient system than a previous model. However it will pay for itself over time in the form of lower costs for energy and maintenance. It will also increase the value of your home and make it easier to sell.

High-efficiency systems provide a wide array of benefits, such as enhanced comfort, quieter operation, and improved indoor air quality. For instance, advanced filters remove more harmful contaminants from the air. The systems can improve occupant comfort as they provide precise temperature control, which eliminates hot or cold patches.

Heating and cooling consume 45percent of the electricity consumed by the average household. You can begin saving on your energy costs once you replace your old HVAC system with a more energy-efficient unit. It is easy to find an Air conditioner or AC that meets your needs by looking for the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. The higher the AFUE rating is, the more efficient the unit is.

New energy-efficient furnaces can achieve up to 98% AFUE, which means that they convert all the energy used to heat the source of fuel into warmth for your home. This is a major improvement over standard furnaces, which operate at 80percent AFUE and use 35% of their fuel.

High-efficiency units use less energy and produce less greenhouse gases than previous models, which helps to save the planet. They also can use non-toxic refrigerants that eliminate the need to make chemicals that harm the ozone. 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 which makes them a good investment for both occupants and builders alike.
