Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s no secret that the engine in your car is most effective when it operates at a warm temperature. 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 make use of fuel sources like oil or gasoline to warm the air.

Variable-Speed Technology

When it is about cooling and heating, variable speed technology is one of the most important innovations in years. The motors that blow air in gas furnaces and air handlers make use of this technology to control the airflow through your home. This technology is designed to remove hot and cold spots, as well as enhance dehumidification during those hot summer days.

The concept behind variable speed technology is to match the system’s output to the needs of your home’s energy. Most people wouldn’t drive their vehicle in a single gear. Instead, they would change gears according to the driving demands of the vehicle or the road conditions. This concept also works in your home. Variable speed systems provide homeowners and contractors a wide variety of benefits, including energy savings, less noise levels, enhanced indoor air quality and the possibility for utility company rebates.

The variable-speed technology lets your system operate more efficiently in low load situations. This is because the traditional systems utilize a setpoint, getting to the desired temperature before turning off. If the temperature in your home increases then the system turns on to return to your comfort setting. This constant cycling consumes a lot more energy since the system is running at its maximum capacity.

With a variable-speed system the compressor operates at less than full capacity for extended durations and consumes less energy. Your system could save you up to 30% on energy costs.

Variable speed technology can be utilized in combination with other energy efficiency upgrades like zoning systems or smart controls to improve 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 decision for your home by describing the benefits 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 experts have the experience to assist you in the process of selecting.

Wi-Fi(r), Controls

Wireless smart thermostats let homeowners to have more control over their HVAC systems while also reducing energy costs and enhancing comfort. These models use wireless technology to connect with a smartphone app or computer, allowing users to control and regulate the temperature of their homes remotely. These devices can also recognize household habits and automatically adjust routines, reducing energy use when no one is at home, or increasing comfort once residents return.

Smart thermostats are easy to use and allow you to monitor your system at any time. They can even tell when you’re away from your home and will enter an energy-saving ”Away” mode to help reduce your power bill. Then, once you are back at home they will switch back to the regular Home setting to ensure optimal comfort.

In comparison to conventional thermostats, Wi-Fi(r) controls are more advanced and offer additional features for convenience, such as email alerts remote system monitoring, a customizable web portal that functions like your thermostat, and the capability to control multiple zones from the use of a single device. They are the perfect solution for managing a vacation home or rental property from afar.

A thermometer that can be programmed can be programmed to adjust the temperature at different times of the day to ensure maximum comfort. This is ideal for homeowners and tenants. But with busy lifestyles, kids’ activities and meetings at work, it can be difficult to keep up with the program of a thermostat. A smart thermostat that has an inbuilt sensor monitors the occupancy of rooms, indoor and outdoor temperatures, humidity and temperatures to monitor real-time conditions. It also monitors energy consumption to determine if 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 power consumption by as much as 10 percent. They will not only lower your energy bills, but also reduce the carbon footprint of your home, and contribute to a healthier environment.

Energy STAR(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR is one of the most well-known and easily identified labels in the US. You’ll find it on refrigerators, light bulbs and other appliances. You can be sure that the items bearing the ENERGY STAR label have been independently tested to make sure they adhere to strict standards for energy efficiency and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The same standards that are applicable to specific products can be applied to entire buildings. To earn ENERGY STAR certification buildings must show at least 15% more performance than ASHRAE 90.1-2010 (or the state building code that it is allowed). The performance goal takes into account a number of factors that impact the use of energy, including the weather conditions, occupancy levels, and the size of the heating and cooling system and type.

To be eligible to be eligible for the ENERGY STAR certification, a home has to be verified by a HERS Rater. The HERS Rater inspects the insulation, air barrier and HVAC equipment in a house to make sure they are installed and sized properly. The Rater also conducts thorough inspections of duct and ventilation leakage.

All of these steps are designed to help the homeowner save energy and money while protecting their health and the environment. This is what makes ENERGY STAR certification an excellent way to add value to any apartment or home. Studies show that ENERGY STAR-certified properties and homes tend to be sold or rented at higher rates.

ENERGY STAR-certified buildings are not just more energy efficient, but they also have lower operating costs. They are also more comfortable to live in and consume less energy. This is why the EPA estimates that ENERGY homes that are ENERGY STAR certified save Americans more than $39 billion in energy costs each year.

High-Efficiency Systems

A high-efficiency HVAC is more than a way to reduce your energy costs. It is also a great method to reduce carbon emissions and help the environment. High-efficiency systems consume up to a third less energy than previous models, which results in lower utility bills as well as significant savings on energy. High-efficiency systems lower greenhouse gas emissions and use non-toxic, ozone-friendly refrigerants.

A high-efficiency model may cost more upfront than a previous model, but it will pay for itself in energy savings and maintenance costs over the course of the life of the unit. It can also increase the value of your home which makes it easier to sell.

High-efficiency systems provide a variety of benefits, including increased comfort, quieter operation, and improved indoor air. Advanced filtering systems, for instance, remove more harmful contaminants. They also enhance the comfort of the occupants by offering precise temperature control and removing hot or cold spots.

Heating and cooling consume about 45% of the energy consumed by the average household. The replacement of your old HVAC system with a modern unit will begin saving money on energy bills from the first bill you receive. The annual fuel utilization efficiency rating (AFUE) will aid you in choosing the Carrier AC or furnace that best suits your requirements. The higher the AFUE, the greater the efficiency.

Modern energy-efficient systems can convert up to 98 percent of the energy from the fuel source directly into heat for your home. This is a huge improvement over traditional furnaces which operate at just 80% AFUE, wasting 35 percent of the fuel they burn.

High-efficiency units consume less energy than older counterparts, resulting in less greenhouse gas emissions and helping to protect the environment. They can also make use of non-toxic refrigerants, removing the need to manufacture chemical products that damage the Ozone layer. By incorporating high-efficiency systems into green construction projects, builders and contractors owners can reduce environmental impact. These systems can also reduce construction costs, making them a smart investment for builders and occupants alike.
