Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s no secret that the engine of your car works best at a warm temperature. The heat must be able to travel somewhere. That’s the reason why radiators are in.

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

Variable-Speed Technology

Variable speed technology is a significant advancement in the field of heating and cooling. The blower motors of gas furnaces and air handlers use this technology to regulate airflow through your home. This technology is designed to eliminate hot and cold spots, and also provide enhanced dehumidification during those hot summer days.

The idea behind variable speed technology is to match the system’s output with your home’s needs for energy. Most people would not drive their vehicle in one gear. Instead, they’d change gears according to 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, including energy savings, lower sound levels, improved indoor air quality, and the possibility for utility company rebates.

The variable-speed technology lets your system operate more efficiently in light load conditions. This is because the traditional systems use a setpoint getting to the desired temperature before turning off. If the temperature in your home increases, the system cycles back on to bring it back to your desired temperature. The constant cycle uses up a lot of energy, particularly since the system is running at full capacity.

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

Variable speed technology can be used in conjunction with other energy efficiency improvements such as zoning systems and smart controls to boost your system’s overall efficiency and performance.

Wi-Fi(r) Controls

Smart thermostats that are wireless give homeowners greater control over their HVAC system, while reducing energy costs and improving comfort. These thermostats use wireless technology to communicate with a smartphone application or a computer, allowing users to monitor and adjust the temperature of their home remotely. These devices also recognize household habits and automatically adjust the schedules, which can reduce energy consumption when no one is home or increasing comfort when residents return.

Smart thermostats are simple to use and let you monitor your system at any time. They can detect when you are away from your home and go into an energy-saving “Away” mode to reduce your electric bills. Once you’re back at home the system will go back to the normal Home setting to ensure optimal comfort.

In comparison to conventional thermostats, the Wi-Fi(r) controls are more advanced and include additional features for convenience, such as email alerts, remote monitoring of the system, a customized web portal that functions like your thermostat, and the ability to manage multiple zones using a single device. These are great for managing a rental or holiday home from afar.

A thermometer that is programmable can be programmed to alter temperatures at various times throughout the day to provide maximum comfort. This is perfect for homeowners and tenants. However, with hectic schedules with kids’ activities, meetings at work it can be a challenge to keep track of the schedule of a thermostat that is programmable. A smart thermostat that has sensors in it tracks occupancy in rooms temperature, indoor and outdoor temperatures, humidity and temperatures to monitor the current conditions. It also monitors energy consumption in order to determine whether cooling or heating is required and makes the necessary adjustments.

Sensors and smart programming of the Wi-Fi(r) control system can reduce your home’s power consumption by up to 10 percent. They not only help reduce your energy bills, but also lower your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner environment.

Energy STAR(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR is one of the most well-known and widely recognized labels in the United States. You’ll find it on light bulbs, refrigerators and other appliances. You can be assured that the products with the ENERGY STAR label have been independently tested to ensure they adhere to strict standards for energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emission.

The same standards that are in place for individual products can also be applied to entire building. To earn the ENERGY STAR certification, buildings must demonstrate at least 15% higher performance than ASHRAE 90.1-2010 (or the state building code under which it is permitted). The performance target is based on a variety of factors that affect energy consumption in relation to weather conditions and occupancy. It also takes into consideration the size and type of heating and cooling systems.

A home must be independently checked by a HERS Rater before it can qualify for the ENERGY STAR Certification. The HERS Rater checks the insulation, air barrier, and HVAC equipment within a home to ensure they are installed and sized properly. The Rater performs thorough inspections on ventilation and duct leakage.

Each of these steps is designed to help homeowners save energy and money while protecting their health and the environment. This is what makes ENERGY STAR certification an excellent method to increase the value of any apartment or home. Research has shown that ENERGY START-certified homes and apartments are more likely to be rented or sold at higher rates.

Buildings that are certified by ENERGY START are not just more energy efficient, but also have lower operating costs. They also feel more comfortable and consume less energy. As a result, the EPA estimates that ENERGY STAR homes can save Americans more than $39 billion in energy costs every year.

High-Efficiency Systems

A high-efficiency HVAC system is more than just an option to save money on energy bills. It also has the potential to help the environment and reduce carbon emissions. High-efficiency systems consume as much as 1/3 less energy than older models, resulting in lower utility bills and significant savings on energy. Besides the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, high-efficiency systems are made 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 through energy savings and maintenance costs over the course of the life of the unit. It will also increase the value of your home’s equity which makes it easier to sell at the right time.

High-efficiency systems provide a wide range of benefits, including improved comfort, more quiet operation, and better indoor air quality. Advanced filters, for instance are able to remove more harmful pollutants. The systems can improve the comfort of the occupants as they provide precise temperature control, removing hot or cold spots.

Heating and cooling accounts for about 45% of the energy consumed by the average household. You can begin saving on your energy costs as soon as you replace your old HVAC system with an energy-efficient unit. The annual fuel utilization efficiency rating (AFUE) will assist you in locating the Carrier AC or furnace that will best meet your requirements. The higher the AFUE rating is, the more efficient the unit is.

The latest energy-efficient models 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 conventional furnaces, which operate at 80% AFUE and waste 35% of their fuel.

High-efficiency units consume less energy than their older counterparts, causing fewer greenhouse gas emissions and assisting to conserve the environment. They also can use non-toxic refrigerants, which eliminate the need to create chemicals that harm the Ozone layer. Contractors and building owners can minimize environmental impact by incorporating high-efficiency system into green construction projects. These systems also aid in reducing construction costs, making them a smart investment for both occupants and builders alike.
