Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s no secret that the engine in your car performs best when it is at a warmer temperature. The heat must be able to travel somewhere. This is where the radiator comes in.

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 warm the air.

Variable-Speed Technology

Variable speed technology is an important innovation in heating and cooling. It is used by the blower motors in gas furnaces and air handlers to operate at different speeds that regulate airflow throughout your home. This technology is designed to help remove hot and cold spots, and also provide enhanced dehumidification during those hot summer days.

The concept behind variable-speed technology is to match the output of your system to your home’s energy needs. Most people wouldn’t drive their car in only one gear. Instead, they’d shift gears in accordance with the requirements of the vehicle or road conditions. This concept also works in your home. Variable speed systems can provide homeowners and contractors a wide range of benefits including energy savings, lower noise levels, improved 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 that is reached, which means attaining the desired temperature and then cycling off. The system will come back on when the temperature in your home reaches the desired temperature. This constant cycling expends a lot of energy, particularly since the system is running at full capacity again.

A variable-speed system allows the compressor to run 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 combination with other energy efficiency upgrades like zoning systems or smart controls to improve the efficiency of your system and performance. Ask our professional team if a system with variable speed technology and Greenspeed Intelligence is the right choice for your home.

We can help you make the right decision for your home, by explaining the advantages of a system using variable-speed technology and how it can be paired with other energy-efficient products to provide the best results. Our licensed HVAC experts have the experience to assist you in the selection process. Contact us today to find out more about our innovative Carrier-backed variable speed heating and cooling system.

Wi-Fi(r), Controls

Smart thermostats that are wireless give homeowners more control over their HVAC system, which can help in reducing the cost of energy and increasing comfort. These thermostats use wireless communications to connect with smartphones or computers that allows users to monitor and adjust the temperature of their home remotely. Depending on the model they can also detect patterns in the household and automatically alter plans to cut down on energy use when nobody is home, or to maximize comfort when the residents are home.

Smart thermostats are easy to use and let you check on your system at any time. They can tell when you are away from home and switch to an energy-saving “Away” mode to save on your electric bills. When you return home, they’ll switch to the ‘Home’ mode for maximum comfort.

The Wi-Fi(r), controls are more sophisticated than standard programmable thermostats and include additional features for convenience, such as email notifications, remote system monitoring and a personalised web portal that acts as your thermostat. They also allow you to control multiple zones from the same device. They are the ideal choice to manage a vacation home or rental property from a distance.

A programmable thermostat can be programmed to alter the temperature at different periods of the day to provide optimal comfort for homeowners and renters. However, with hectic schedules children’s activities, and work schedules, it can be difficult to keep up with the program of a thermostat. Smart thermostats equipped with sensors track the occupancy of rooms as well as outdoor temperatures and indoor humidity to keep track of the current conditions. It also tracks your energy consumption to determine if cooling or heating are required and makes adjustments accordingly.

Sensors and intelligent programming of the Wi-Fi(r), control can reduce your home’s energy consumption by up to 10%. They’ll not only reduce your energy costs, but they can also help to lower your carbon footprint and contribute to a better environment.

ENERGY START(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR is one of the most well-known and recognized labels in the United States. You’ll find it on refrigerators, light bulbs and other appliances. If you purchase products bearing the ENERGY STAR logo, you are assured that they’ve been independently tested and verified to meet the strict energy efficiency specifications and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The same standards that are applicable to specific products can be applied to whole buildings. To be eligible for ENERGY STAR certification buildings must show at least 15% more performance than the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 (or the state building code that it is allowed). The performance target is determined by a variety of elements that affect energy usage such as the weather conditions and occupancy. It also takes into consideration the size and the type of cooling and heating systems.

A building must be independently checked by a HERS Rater to qualify for the ENERGY STAR Certification. The HERS Rater checks the insulation, air barrier, and HVAC equipment to ensure they are sized and installed correctly. The Rater also conducts thorough inspections of ventilation and duct leakage.

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

ENERGY STAR-certified buildings are not only more energy efficient, 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 STAR homes will save Americans more than $39 billion in energy costs each year.

High-Efficiency Systems

A high-efficiency HVAC system is more than just an opportunity to save money on energy bills. It is also a great option to cut carbon emissions and improve the environment. High-efficiency systems consume up to one third less energy than earlier versions, which results in lower utility bills. In addition to 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 might 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 system. It could also boost your home’s property value and make it easier to sell when the time comes.

High-efficiency systems offer a range of benefits, including increased comfort, quieter operation, and improved indoor air quality. For instance, advanced filtration systems remove more harmful pollutants from the air. The systems can improve the comfort of the occupants as they provide precise temperature control, removing hot or cold spots.

Heating and cooling consume the most energy in an average home and account for 45% of household energy use. Installing a new HVAC system with a high-efficiency unit will start saving you energy costs 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 needs. The higher the AFUE, 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 major improvement over standard furnaces, which operate at 80percent AFUE and use 35 percent of their fuel.

High-efficiency units consume less energy and emit less greenhouse gases than previous models, which helps to protect the planet. They can also use nontoxic refrigerants that eliminate the need to make chemical products that damage ozone. By incorporating high-efficiency systems into green construction projects, builders and contractors owners can help minimize environmental impact. These systems can also help reduce construction costs, making it a smart investment for both builders and the building’s occupants.
