Innovations in Heating and Cooling

It’s no secret that the engine of your car works best when it’s warm. This heat must go somewhere. This is the reason why radiators are in.

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

Variable-Speed Technology

When it comes to heating and cooling variable speed technology, it is among the most significant developments in the past few years. The motors that blow air in gas furnaces and air handlers make use of this technology to regulate airflow in your home. This technology is designed to ensure an uniform distribution of air throughout your home, reducing hot and cold spots.

The concept behind variable speed technology is to make sure that the system’s output is compatible to your home’s requirements for energy. For instance, the majority of people don’t drive with just one gear, but instead shift gears in accordance with the demands of driving the vehicle and the road conditions. The same principle applies in your home. Variable speed systems provide homeowners and contractors a wide variety of benefits, including energy savings, lower noise levels, enhanced indoor air quality, and the potential for utility company rebates.

Variable-speed technology also lets your system work more efficiently during light load conditions. This is because the traditional systems utilize a setpoint, at the desired temperature, before turning off. The system will come back on when the temperature inside your home is at the desired level of comfort. This continuous cycle consumes lots of energy, particularly when the unit is starting up at full capacity.

A variable-speed system allows the compressor to operate at a lower rate for longer durations, using less energy. Your system can save you up to 30% in energy costs.

The use of variable speed technology combination with other energy-saving improvements such as zoning systems or smart controls can improve the efficiency and performance of your system. Contact our team of experts if a system that uses Greenspeed Intelligence and variable speed technology is right for your home.

We can help you make the right choice for your home by explaining the advantages of a system that uses variable-speed technology and how it can be used with other energy efficient products to give you the best results. Our certified HVAC experts have the experience to guide you through the process of selecting. Call us now to learn more about our innovative Carrier-backed variable speed heating and cooling system.

Wi-Fi(r) Controls

Smart thermostats that are wireless allow homeowners to have greater control over their HVAC systems, while reducing energy bills and increasing comfort. These thermostats utilize wireless technology to connect with a smartphone application or computer, allowing users to monitor and adjust the temperature of their homes remotely. These devices can also recognize household habits and automatically alter the schedules, which can reduce energy consumption when no one is at home or enhancing comfort when residents return.

Smart thermostats let you monitor your system throughout the day. They can even detect when you’re away from your home and will enter an energy-saving mode called ‘Away’ to help save on your power bill. Once you’re back in the house they will switch back to the regular ‘Home’ setting for optimal comfort.

As compared to standard thermostats, the Wi-Fi(r) controls are more advanced and include additional convenience features such as email alerts, remote monitoring of the system, a customized web portal that functions like your thermostat, and the capability to control multiple zones from the use of a single device. These are great for managing a rental or holiday home from far away.

A thermostat that can be programmed can be programmed to regulate the temperature at different times of the day, ensuring optimal comfort for homeowners and renters. However, with hectic schedules children’s activities, and meetings at work it can be difficult to keep track of the program of a thermostat. Smart thermostats equipped with sensors track the occupancy of rooms, indoor temperatures, and outdoor humidity to track the conditions in real-time. It also monitors the energy consumption of your home to determine if cooling or heating are required and makes adjustments accordingly.

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

ENERGY STAR(r) Certification

ENERGY STAR is one of the most well-known and recognized labels in the United States. It’s that blue label that you see on your light bulbs, refrigerators and other appliances. You can be sure that the items bearing the ENERGY STAR label have been independently tested to ensure they comply with strict energy efficiency standards and reduce greenhouse gas emission.

The same guidelines that apply to specific products can be applied to a building’s entire. To be qualified for ENERGY STAR buildings must be at minimum 15% higher than ASHRAE 90.10-2010 (or state building codes). The performance benchmark is based on a variety of factors that influence the use of energy, including weather conditions, occupancy and heating and cooling system size and the type.

To qualify for ENERGY STAR certification, a building must be verified by an HERS Rater. The HERS Rater inspects the insulation, air barrier and HVAC equipment to ensure that they’re installed and sized correctly. The Rater also conducts thorough inspections of duct and ventilation leakage.

All of these steps are designed to help the homeowner save energy and money while also protecting their health and the environment. This makes the ENERGY STAR an excellent option to add value for any home or apartment. Studies have shown that ENERGY STAR approved apartments and homes are usually rented or sold for higher prices than those that don’t have the certification.

ENERGY STAR-certified buildings are not only more energy efficient, but also have lower operating costs. They are also more comfortable and use less energy. The EPA estimates that ENERGY STAR-certified homes will save Americans $39 billion a year in energy costs.

High-Efficiency Systems

A high-efficiency HVAC is more than a way to reduce your energy costs. It can also improve the environment and reduce carbon emissions. High-efficiency systems consume as much as 33% less energy than previous models, resulting in lower utility bills and significant energy savings. Besides the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, high-efficiency systems use 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 be able to pay for itself in energy savings and maintenance costs over the life of the unit. It can also increase the value of your home, making it easier to sell.

High-efficiency systems provide a wide array of benefits, such as enhanced comfort, quieter operation, and improved indoor air quality. For instance, the latest filtration systems remove more harmful contaminants from the air. The systems can improve the comfort of occupants by providing precise temperature control, which eliminates cold or hot patches.

Heating and cooling use the most energy in an average home accounting for about 45% of all household energy use. The replacement of your old HVAC system with a modern unit will start saving you energy costs from the first bill you receive. You can easily find a Carrier furnace or AC that is suitable for your needs by looking up the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. The higher the AFUE, the higher the efficiency.

New energy-efficient systems can achieve up to 98% AFUE and convert all the heating energy from the source of fuel into warmth for your home. This is a vast improvement over standard furnaces that operate at just 20% AFUE and waste 35% of the fuel they use.

High-efficiency units consume less energy and emit fewer greenhouse gases than older models, which helps to protect the planet. They also can use non-toxic refrigerants, removing the need to manufacture chemicals that harm the ozone layer. By incorporating high-efficiency systems into green construction projects, builders and contractors owners can help minimize environmental impact. These systems also aid in reducing construction costs and are a wise investment for both occupants and builders alike.
