Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s no secret that the engine in your car works best at a warm temperature. But that heat has to go somewhere. Radiators are the answer.

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

Variable-Speed Technology

When it concerns cooling and heating variable speed technology is among the most significant innovations of recent the past few years. This technology is used by the blower motors in gas furnaces and air handlers to operate at different speeds that control airflow throughout your home. This technology is designed to eliminate hot and cold spots, as well as provide enhanced dehumidification during those hot summer months in the south.

The idea behind variable-speed technology is to match your system’s output to your home’s energy needs. Most people would not drive their car in a single gear. Instead, they’d shift gears based on the demands of driving the vehicle or the road conditions. The same concept applies in your home. Variable speed systems offer homeowners and contractors with a variety of advantages, such as energy savings, reduced sound levels, better indoor air quality, and the possibility for utility company rebates.

The variable-speed technology lets your system perform more efficiently in low load conditions. This is because traditional systems work at a fixed point that is reached, which means reaching the desired temperature, and then shutting off. If the temperature in your home increases, the system cycles back on again to reach your comfort setting. This continuous cycle consumes a lot of energy, particularly since the system is operating at full capacity.

A variable-speed system allows the compressor to operate at a lower capacity for longer periods of time, consuming less energy. The result is your system is able to save up to 30 percent on energy costs.

The use of variable speed technology combination with other energy-saving upgrades such as zoning systems or smart controls, can increase the overall effectiveness and performance of your system. 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 help you make the right choice for your home by describing the advantages of a system that uses variable-speed technology, and how it can be paired with other energy-efficient products to give you the best results. Our certified HVAC professionals can guide you through the process of choosing the best system for your home.

Wi-Fi(r), Controls

Wireless smart thermostats allow homeowners more control over their HVAC system, reducing energy costs and improving comfort. They make use of wireless technology to communicate with a smartphone app or a computer, allowing users to control and regulate the temperature of their homes remotely. Based on the model they can also recognize patterns of household behavior and automatically alter plans to cut down on energy use when there is no one home or maximize comfort when residents are home.

Smart thermostats allow you to monitor your system throughout the day. They can even detect when you’re away from your home and go into an energy-saving ”Away” mode to help save on your energy bills. Then, once you are back in the house the system will go back to the normal ‘Home’ setting for optimal comfort.

The Wi-Fi(r), controls are more advanced than conventional thermostats and include additional features for convenience like emails, remote system monitoring and a personalised web portal that acts as your thermostat. They can also be used to control multiple zones from one device. These are ideal for managing a rental property or holiday home from far away.

A thermometer that can be programmed can be programmed to alter temperatures at various times throughout the day to ensure maximum comfort. This is ideal for homeowners as well as tenants. But with busy lifestyles with kids’ activities, meetings at work, it can be difficult to keep up with the program of a thermostat. Smart thermostats with built-in sensors track the occupancy of rooms, indoor temperatures and outdoor humidity to monitor real-time conditions. It also tracks your energy usage to determine whether heating or cooling is needed and adjusts accordingly.

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

Energy STAR(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR has become one of the most well-known and easily recognized labels across the United States. It’s on your appliances, lighting bulbs, refrigerators and other appliances. When you buy products with the ENERGY STAR logo, you are assured that they’ve been independently tested and certified to meet stringent specifications for energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

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

To qualify for the ENERGY STAR certification, a structure must be verified by an HERS Rater. The HERS Rater inspects the insulation, air barrier, and HVAC equipment within a home to ensure they are installed and sized correctly. The Rater performs thorough inspections on ventilation and duct leakage.

Each of these steps is designed to help the homeowner save money and energy while preserving their health and the environment. This makes ENERGY STAR a great way to add value to any home or apartment. Research has shown that the ENERGY STAR certified apartments and homes are usually sold or rented at higher prices than those that do not have the certification.

Buildings that are certified by ENERGY START are not only more energy efficient, but they also have lower operating costs. They are also more comfortable to live in and consume less energy. The EPA estimates that ENERGY certified homes will save Americans $39 billion a year in energy costs.

High-Efficiency Systems

A high-efficiency HVAC system is more than just an opportunity to lower your energy costs. It also has the potential to improve the environment and reduce carbon emissions. High-efficiency systems can use up to a third less energy than earlier versions, resulting in lower costs for utilities. In addition to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, high-efficiency systems are made of non-toxic refrigerants that don’t damage the ozone layer.

A high-efficiency model may cost more upfront than the old model, but it will be able to pay for itself in energy savings and maintenance costs over the lifetime of the system. It can also increase the value of your home and make it easier to sell.

High-efficiency systems provide a wide range of benefits, including improved comfort, more quiet operation, and better indoor air quality. For example, advanced filtration systems remove more harmful contaminants from the air. These systems can enhance the comfort of the occupants as they provide precise temperature control, removing hot or cold spots.

Heating and cooling use the most energy in the average home accounting for 45% of household energy use. The replacement of your old HVAC system with a more efficient unit will start saving you money on energy bills from the first bill you receive. It is easy to find a Carrier furnace or AC that is suitable for your needs by determining the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. The higher the AFUE rating, the higher the efficiency.

New energy-efficient systems can achieve up to 98% AFUE, which means that they convert all the heating energy from the fuel source into warmth for your home. This is a vast improvement over conventional furnaces that operate at just 80percent AFUE, and wasting 35 percent of the fuel they consume.

High-efficiency units consume less energy and produce less greenhouse gases than earlier models, thereby helping to save the planet. They can also use nontoxic refrigerants which eliminates the need for chemicals that harm ozone. By incorporating high-efficiency systems into green construction projects, builders, contractors and owners can help minimize environmental impact. These systems can also help reduce the costs of construction and make it a wise investment for builders as well as the building’s the building’s occupants.
