Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s not a secret that the engine in your car is most effective when it operates at a warm temperature. The heat has to go somewhere. Radiators are the solution.

A cooling system uses refrigerant, ductwork, and fans to distribute the air. A heating system uses a fuel source like oil or gas to warm the air.

Variable-Speed Technology

Variable speed technology is a significant advancement in the field of heating and cooling. The motors that blow air in gas furnaces and air handlers utilize this technology to regulate the airflow through your home. This technology is designed to eliminate hot and cold spots, as well as improve dehumidification during the hot summer months in the south.

The idea behind variable speed technology is to match the system’s output to your home’s requirements for energy. For example, most people wouldn’t use their car with just one gear, instead choosing to shift gears according to the drive demands of the vehicle and the road conditions. This is also true for your home. Variable speed systems offer homeowners and contractors with a range of advantages, such as energy savings, reduced sound levels, improved indoor air quality, and the possibility for utility company rebates.

The variable-speed technology lets your system operate more efficiently in low load conditions. This is because the traditional systems use a setpoint, at the desired temperature, before turning off. When the home’s temperature rises it is then cycled on to return to your comfort setting. This constant cycling expends a lot of energy, especially since the system is operating at full capacity again.

With a variable-speed system, the compressor operates at a lower capacity for long time periods and uses less energy. Your system could save you up to 30% in energy costs.

The use of variable speed technology in conjunction with other energy-saving upgrades such as smart controls or zoning systems can boost the efficiency and performance of your system. Ask our team of experts whether a system that utilizes Greenspeed Intelligence and variable speed technology is right for your home.

Our licensed HVAC experts have the experience to guide you through the selection process. Call us today to learn more about our innovative Carrier-backed variable speed cooling and heating system.

Wi-Fi(r) Controls

Wireless smart thermostats give homeowners more control over their HVAC system, while reducing the cost of energy and increasing comfort. They utilize wireless technology to communicate via a smartphone app or computer, allowing homeowners to monitor and adjust the temperature of their homes remotely. Based on the model the devices are able to detect patterns in the household and automatically alter schedules to reduce energy consumption when nobody is home, or increase comfort when residents are home.

Smart thermostats let you monitor your system throughout the day. They can even tell when you’re away from your home and will enter an energy-saving ”Away” mode to help you save on your power bills. Once you’re back home the system will go back to the normal ‘Home’ setting for optimal comfort.

The Wi-Fi(r) controls are more sophisticated than standard programmable thermostats and come with additional convenience features, such as email notifications, remote system monitoring and a custom web-based portal that functions as your thermostat. They can also be used to control multiple zones from the same device. They are the perfect solution for managing a home vacation or rental property from afar.

A programmable thermostat can be programmed to alter the temperature in different times of the day to provide the best comfort for homeowners as well as renters. It can be difficult to keep up with the program of a programmable thermometer particularly with busy schedules and children’s activities. Smart thermostats that have sensors built-in monitor room occupancy, indoor temperatures, and outdoor humidity to track the conditions in real-time. It also tracks energy usage in order to determine whether cooling or heating is needed and makes the necessary adjustments.

Sensors and intelligent programming of the Wi-Fi(r), control can reduce your home’s power consumption by as much as 10 percent. They won’t just cut your energy costs but aid in reducing your carbon footprint and contribute to a better environment.

Energy STAR(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR has become one of the most recognizable and easily recognized brands across the United States. You’ll find it on 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 verified to meet the strict specifications for energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The same standards that apply to individual products can be applied to whole buildings. To be qualified for ENERGY STAR, buildings must perform at least 15% better than ASHRAE 90.10-2010 (or state building codes). The performance goal includes a range of factors that affect energy usage including conditions of the weather, occupancy, heating and cooling system size and the type.

A building must be independently checked by a HERS Rater before it can be eligible for Energy STAR Certification. The HERS Rater inspects the home’s insulation, air barrier and HVAC equipment to ensure they are sized and installed correctly. The Rater conducts thorough inspections of the ducts and ventilation.

All of these actions will aid homeowners in saving energy and money while protecting their health and environment. This makes ENERGY STAR an excellent option to increase the value of any apartment or home. Research has shown that ENERGY START-certified properties and homes tend to be sold or rented at higher prices.

In addition to delivering long-term cost savings in the long run, in addition to delivering long-term cost savings, STAR certified buildings have also been shown to have lower operating costs than comparable buildings. They are also more comfortable to live in and consume less energy. As a result, the EPA estimates that ENERGY STAR homes will save Americans over $39 billion in energy costs each year.

High-Efficiency Systems

A high-efficiency HVAC system is more than just a way to reduce your energy costs. It’s also a fantastic method to reduce carbon emissions and also help the environment. High-efficiency systems use up to a third less energy than previous models, which results in lower utility bills and substantial energy savings. Apart from decreasing greenhouse gas emissions high-efficiency systems make use of non-toxic refrigerants that don’t damage the ozone layer.

It may cost more to install a brand new, high-efficiency system than a more traditional model. However, it will pay for itself in the long run through lower costs for energy and maintenance. It can also increase the value of your home’s equity, making it easier to sell your home when the time comes.

High-efficiency systems can provide a broad array of benefits, such as enhanced comfort, 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 the occupants as they provide precise temperature control, which eliminates cold or hot patches.

Heating and cooling use the most energy in the average home, accounting for 45percent of the household’s electrical usage. Replacing your outdated HVAC system with a more efficient unit will begin saving energy costs from the first bill you receive. The annual fuel utilization efficiency rating (AFUE) will assist you in locating the Carrier AC or furnace that will best meet your needs. The higher the AFUE rating, the more efficient the unit is.

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

High-efficiency units consume less energy than their older counterparts, causing fewer greenhouse gas emissions and helping to conserve the environment. They can also make use of non-toxic refrigerants which eliminates the need for chemical products that damage the ozone. Builders and contractors can reduce the environmental impact of their projects by incorporating high-efficiency systems into green construction projects. These systems can also lower construction costs which makes it a good investment for builders as well as the building’s the building’s occupants.
