Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s no secret that the engine in your car performs best when it’s warm. However, that heat must go somewhere. Radiators are the answer.

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

Variable-Speed Technology

Variable speed technology is a significant breakthrough in heating and cooling. The motors that blow air in gas furnaces and air handlers use this technology to regulate airflow throughout your house. This technology is designed to ensure a more evenly distributed air throughout your home, which reduces hot and cold spots.

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 wouldn’t drive their car in a single gear. Instead, they would shift gears in accordance with the demands of driving the vehicle or road conditions. This is also true for your home. Variable speed systems provide homeowners and contractors with a myriad of advantages, including energy savings, reduced sound levels, better indoor air quality, and the possibility for utility company rebates.

The variable-speed technology allows your system to operate more efficiently in light load conditions. This is because traditional systems operate with a set temperature and then attaining the desired temperature and then turning off. If the temperature in your home increases, the system cycles back on to return to your comfort setting. This constant cycling expends an enormous amount of energy, especially since the unit is starting up at full capacity again.

A variable-speed system permits the compressor to operate at a lower rate for longer durations, using less energy. This means that your system can save up to 30 percent off energy costs.

Variable speed technology can be utilized in conjunction with other energy efficiency upgrades like zoning systems or smart controls to increase the efficiency of your system and performance. Ask our team of experts to determine if a system using Greenspeed Intelligence and variable speed technology is the best option for your home.

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

Wi-Fi(r) Controls

Smart thermostats that are wireless allow homeowners to have more control over their HVAC systems, while reducing energy costs and enhancing comfort. These models use wireless technology to communicate via a smartphone app or a computer, allowing users to monitor and adjust the temperature of their homes remotely. These devices also learn the habits of households and automatically change routines, reducing energy use when no one is at 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 will even know when you’re away from the home and will enter an energy-saving ‘Away’ mode to help you save on your power bill. When you’re back in the house they will switch back to the normal home setting for maximum comfort.

Compared to standard programmable thermostats, Wi-Fi(r) controls are more advanced and include additional convenience features such as email alerts, remote monitoring of the system, a customized Web portal that displays just like your thermostat, and the capability to manage multiple zones using a single device. They are the ideal solution to manage a vacation home or rental property from a distance.

A thermostat that can be programmed can be programmed to alter the temperature during different periods of the day, ensuring optimal comfort for homeowners and renters. It can be challenging to keep up with the schedule of a thermometer programmable particularly when you have a busy schedule and kids’ activities. A smart thermostat that has sensors in it tracks the occupancy of rooms as well as outdoor and indoor temperatures, humidity and temperatures to monitor the current conditions. It also tracks energy usage to determine if heating or cooling is required and makes the necessary adjustments.

The Wi-Fi(r) control’s sensors and intelligent programming can significantly reduce your home energy consumption by 10 percent or more. They will not only cut your energy costs but also help to lower your carbon footprint and help to improve the environment.

Energy STAR(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR has become one of the most recognizable and easily recognized brands across the United America. You’ll find it on appliances, lighting bulbs, refrigerators and other appliances. You can be sure that products bearing the ENERGY STAR label have been independently tested to ensure that they adhere to strict standards for energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The same standards that apply for individual products can also be applied to a building’s entire. To obtain ENERGY STAR certification buildings must exhibit at least 15% better performance than ASHRAE 90.1-2010 (or the state building code that it is allowed). The performance benchmark is determined by a variety of elements that affect energy usage such as the weather conditions and occupancy. It also considers the size and type of cooling and heating systems.

A building 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 to ensure that they’re installed and sized correctly. The Rater conducts thorough inspections of the ducts and ventilation.

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

ENERGY STAR-certified buildings are not only more energy efficient, they also have lower operating costs. They also have a better temperature and consume less electricity. In turn, the EPA estimates that ENERGY STAR homes save Americans over $39 billion in energy costs every year.

High-Efficiency Systems

A high-efficiency HVAC is more than an opportunity to lower your energy consumption. It’s also a great option to cut carbon emissions and improve the environment. High-efficiency systems can use up to a third less energy than previous versions, which results in lower utility bills. High-efficiency systems cut greenhouse gas emissions and also use non-toxic, ozone-friendly refrigerants.

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

High-efficiency systems offer a wide variety of benefits, including increased comfort, a quieter operation, and improved indoor air quality. For instance, the latest filtration systems remove more harmful pollutants from the air. They can also improve the comfort of occupants by providing precise temperature control, which eliminates hot or cold spots.

Heating and cooling account for about 45% of the energy used in the average household. The replacement of your old HVAC system with a more efficient unit will begin saving energy costs from the first bill you receive. You can easily find an Carrier furnace or AC that is suitable for your needs by looking up the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. The higher the AFUE rating is, the more efficient the unit is.

Modern energy-efficient systems can reach up to 98% AFUE, converting all the heating energy from the source of fuel into warmth for your home. This is a vast improvement over conventional furnaces that run at 20% AFUE and waste 35% of the fuel they consume.

High-efficiency units also use less energy than their earlier counterparts, resulting in less greenhouse gas emissions, and also helping to protect the environment. They also can use non-toxic refrigerants, which eliminate the need to create chemical products that damage the Ozone layer. Builders and contractors can reduce the environmental impact of their projects by incorporating high-efficiency system into green construction projects. These systems also help cut construction costs which makes them a good investment for builders and occupants alike.
