Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s not a secret that the engine of your car performs best when it is at a warmer temperature. This heat must go somewhere. Radiators are the answer.

A cooling system makes use of refrigerant, ductwork, and fans to distribute air. Heating systems use an energy source such as gas or oil to warm the air.

Variable-Speed Technology

Variable speed technology is a significant breakthrough in heating and cooling. It is used by the blower motor in gas furnaces as well as air handlers to operate at various speeds to regulate airflow in your home. This technology is designed for an even distribution of air throughout your home, while reducing hot and cold areas.

The concept behind variable-speed technology is to match the output of your system to your home’s energy needs. The majority of people don’t drive their vehicle in a single gear. Instead, they’d shift gears in accordance with the requirements of the vehicle or the road conditions. The same concept applies in your home. Variable speed systems offer homeowners and contractors a wide variety of benefits, including energy savings, reduced noise levels, better indoor air quality and the possibility for utility company rebates.

Variable-speed technology also allows your system to work more efficiently in low load conditions. This is because traditional systems utilize a setpoint, at the desired temperature, before turning off. If the temperature of your home rises, the system cycles back on again to reach your comfort setting. This continuous cycle consumes a lot more energy since the unit is constantly running at full capacity.

With a variable-speed system the compressor runs at a lower than full capacity for prolonged time periods and uses less energy. The result is your system is able to save up to 30% on energy costs.

Variable speed technology can be used in combination with other energy efficiency upgrades such as zoning systems and smart controls to improve your system’s overall efficiency and performance. Ask our team of professionals to determine if a system using Greenspeed Intelligence and variable speed technology is right for your home.

We can assist you in making the best decision for your home by describing 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 expertise to guide you through the selection process.

Wi-Fi(r), Controls

Smart thermostats that are wireless allow homeowners to have more control over their HVAC systems while also reducing energy costs and enhancing comfort. They utilize wireless technology to connect via a smartphone app or a computer, allowing users to monitor and adjust their home’s temperature remotely. They can also learn the habits of households and automatically alter routines, reducing energy use when no one is at home or increasing comfort when residents return.

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

In comparison to conventional thermostats, Wi-Fi(r) controls are more sophisticated and provide additional features that make life easier, like email alerts, remote monitoring of the system, a custom web portal that functions like your thermostat, and the ability to control multiple zones from one device. They are the perfect solution for managing a vacation home or rental property from afar.

A programmable thermostat can be programmed to regulate the temperature at different periods of the day to ensure optimal comfort for homeowners and renters. It can be difficult to keep up with the schedule of a programmable thermometer particularly with busy schedules and kids’ activities. Smart thermostats equipped with sensors track room occupancy as well as outdoor temperatures and indoor humidity to track the conditions in real-time. It also tracks energy usage in order to determine whether cooling or heating is required and makes the necessary adjustments.

Sensors and intelligent programming of the Wi-Fi(r), control can cut down your home’s energy consumption by as much as 10 percent. They can not only reduce your energy costs but also reduce the carbon footprint of your home, and contribute to a healthier environmental footprint.

ENERGY START(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR is one of the most well-known and recognized labels in the United States. It’s the little blue label that you see on your refrigerator, light bulbs and other appliances. If you purchase products bearing the ENERGY STAR logo, you know they’re independently tested and certified to meet stringent specifications for energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The same standards that apply to individual products can be applied to entire buildings. To be eligible for ENERGY STAR buildings must perform at least 15% better than ASHRAE 90.10-2010 (or state building codes). The performance benchmark is determined by a variety of factors that influence energy usage such as the weather conditions and occupancy. It also considers the size and the type of cooling and heating systems.

A home must be independently checked by a HERS Rater before it can qualify for Energy STAR Certification. The HERS Rater inspects the insulation, air barrier, and HVAC equipment within a home to ensure they are installed and sized correctly. The Rater conducts thorough inspections of vent leakage and duct leakage.

Each of these steps is designed to help homeowners save money and energy while protecting their health and the environment. This makes ENERGY STAR an excellent option to increase the value of any apartment or home. Studies have proven that the ENERGY STAR approved apartments and homes are usually sold or rented for higher prices than those that do not have the certification.

In addition to delivering long-term cost savings in the long run, as well as a long-term savings, ENERGY STAR certified buildings have also been found to have lower operating costs than comparable buildings. They also have a better temperature and use less electricity. In turn, the EPA estimates that ENERGY homes that are ENERGY STAR certified can save Americans more than $39 billion in energy costs each year.

High-Efficiency Systems

A high-efficiency HVAC system is more than a way to save money on energy bills. It’s also a great option to cut carbon emissions and improve the environment. High-efficiency systems consume up to one third less energy than previous versions, resulting in lower costs for utilities. Besides the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, high-efficiency systems make use of non-toxic refrigerants, which don’t harm the ozone layer.

A new high-efficiency system may cost more upfront than the old model but it will pay for itself in energy bill savings and maintenance costs over the life of the unit. It could also boost the value of your home’s equity, making it easier to sell at the right time.

High-efficiency systems provide a wide variety of benefits, including enhanced comfort, quieter operation, and improved indoor air quality. For instance, advanced filtration systems remove more harmful contaminants from the air. They can also improve the comfort of the occupants as they provide precise temperature control, which eliminates hot or cold patches.

Heating and cooling account for about 45% of the energy used in the average household. You will start saving money on your energy bills when you replace your old HVAC system with a more efficient unit. You can easily locate an Carrier furnace or AC that meets your requirements by looking up the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. The higher the AFUE rating, the greater the efficiency.

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

High-efficiency units use less energy than their earlier counterparts, which results in less greenhouse gas emissions and helping to conserve the environment. They can also use nontoxic refrigerants which eliminates the need to create chemicals that harm ozone. Builders and contractors can reduce the environmental impact of their projects by incorporating high-efficiency system into green construction projects. These systems can also reduce construction costs and are a wise investment for builders and occupants alike.
