Innovations in Heating and Cooling
It’s not a secret that the engine of your car is most effective when it operates at a warm temperature. The heat has to go somewhere. Radiators are the answer.
A cooling system utilizes refrigerant, ductwork, and fans to distribute air. Heating systems use an energy source like gas or oil to warm the air.
Variable-Speed Technology
When it comes to heating and cooling variable speed technology is one of the most significant innovations of recent years. The blower motors in gas furnaces and air handlers use this technology to control the airflow throughout your house. This technology is designed for a more evenly distributed air throughout your home, which reduces hot and cold spots.
The concept behind variable speed technology is to ensure that the system’s output is in line with your home’s needs for energy. Most people wouldn’t drive their vehicle in one gear. Instead, they would shift gears in accordance with the demands of driving the vehicle or the road conditions. This is also true for your home. Variable speed systems provide homeowners and contractors with a myriad of advantages, including energy savings, lower sound levels, better indoor air quality, and the possibility for utility company rebates.
The variable-speed technology allows your system to operate more efficiently in low load situations. This is because traditional systems utilize a setpoint, at the desired temperature, before turning off. If the temperature in your home increases, the system cycles back on again to reach the desired temperature. This constant cycling consumes lots of energy since the system is running at its maximum capacity.
A variable-speed system permits the compressor to run at a lower capacity for longer periods of time, consuming less energy. The result is your system is able to save up to 30% on energy costs.
The use of variable speed technology in combination with other energy-saving upgrades such as smart controls or zoning systems can improve the overall efficiency and performance of your system. Consult our team of experts to determine whether a system that has variable speed technology and Greenspeed Intelligence is the right choice for your home.

Wi-Fi(r) Controls
Wireless smart thermostats allow homeowners greater control over their HVAC system, which can help in reducing energy consumption and enhancing comfort. These thermostats use wireless technology to communicate with a smartphone app or computer, allowing users to control and regulate the temperature of their home remotely. They can also recognize household habits and automatically alter schedules, reducing energy consumption when no one is home, or increasing comfort once residents return.
Smart thermostats allow you to monitor your system throughout the day. They will detect when you are away from your home and go into an energy-saving “Away” mode to help you save money on your electricity bills. Once you’re back in the house they will switch back to the normal Home setting to ensure optimal comfort.
The Wi-Fi(r) controls are more sophisticated than conventional thermostats and offer added convenience features such as emails, remote system monitoring and a personalised web portal that displays like your thermostat. They also let you control multiple zones with one device. They are the perfect solution to manage a vacation home or rental property from afar.
A thermometer that can be programmed can be programmed to adjust temperature at different times during the day to provide maximum comfort. This is ideal for homeowners and tenants. It can be difficult to keep up with the program of a programmable thermometer particularly when you have a busy schedule and kids’ activities. A smart thermostat with sensors in it tracks occupancy in rooms temperature, indoor and outdoor temperatures, humidity and temperatures to monitor real-time conditions. It also tracks the energy consumption of your home to determine whether cooling or heating is required and adjusts accordingly.
The Wi-Fi(r) control’s sensors and intelligent programming can significantly reduce your home energy consumption by 10 percent or more. They can not only reduce your energy bills, but also reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner environment.
Energy STAR(r) Certification
ENERGY STAR has become one of the most recognized and easily recognized brands across the United America. You’ll find it on light bulbs, refrigerators and other appliances. You can be sure that the products with the ENERGY STAR label have been independently tested to ensure they adhere to strict standards for energy efficiency and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The same standards that are applicable to specific products can be applied to entire buildings. To earn the ENERGY STAR certification buildings must show at least 15% higher performance than ASHRAE 90.1-2010 (or the state building code under which it is permitted). The performance goal is based on a variety of factors that influence the use of energy, including conditions of the weather, occupancy, size of cooling and heating systems and the type.
To qualify to be eligible for ENERGY STAR certification, a building has to be verified by an HERS Rater. The HERS Rater checks the insulation, air barrier, and HVAC equipment to make sure that they’re installed and sized correctly. The Rater also performs detailed inspections of ventilation and duct leakage.
All of these steps can help homeowners save money and energy while protecting their health and the environment. This is what makes ENERGY STAR certification an excellent way to add value to any apartment or home. Research has shown that ENERGY START-certified homes and apartments are more likely to be rented or sold at higher prices.
In addition to providing long-term cost savings In addition to delivering long-term cost savings, as well as a long-term savings, ENERGY STAR certified buildings have also been shown to have lower operating costs than comparable non-certified buildings. They also feel more comfortable and consume less electricity. As a result, the EPA estimates that ENERGY STAR homes can save Americans more than $39 billion in energy costs each year.
High-Efficiency Systems
A high-efficiency HVAC system is more than an option to save money on energy bills. It’s also a way to aid the environment and cut down on carbon emissions. High-efficiency systems consume as much as 1/3 less energy than previous models, which results in lower utility bills as well as significant savings on energy. High-efficiency systems cut greenhouse gas emissions and use low-ozone, non-toxic refrigerants.
It might cost more to install a new high-efficiency, high-efficiency system than a more traditional model. However it will pay for itself in the long run in the form of lower costs for energy and maintenance. It can also increase the value of your home’s assets which makes it easier to sell your home when the time comes.
High-efficiency systems can provide a wide range of benefits including improved comfort, quieter operation, and improved indoor air quality. For instance, the latest filtering systems eliminate more harmful pollutants from the air. The systems can also improve the comfort of occupants by providing precise temperature control and removing hot or cold spots.
Heating and cooling consume the most energy in an average home accounting for 45% of household electricity use. You’ll begin saving money on your energy bills once you replace your old HVAC system with an energy-efficient unit. You can easily find an Carrier furnace or AC that meets your needs by looking up the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. The higher the AFUE rating, the greater the efficiency.
Modern energy-efficient systems can reach up to 98% AFUE, which means that they convert all the energy used to heat the source of fuel into warmth for your home. This is a significant improvement over traditional furnaces which operate at 80percent AFUE and use 35 percent of their fuel.
High-efficiency units use less energy than their older counterparts, resulting in less greenhouse gas emissions, and also helping to preserve the environment. They can also make use of non-toxic refrigerants that eliminate the need to produce chemical products that harm the Ozone layer. Builders and contractors can reduce the environmental impact of their projects by incorporating high-efficiency systems into green construction projects. These systems also help cut construction costs and are a wise investment for both occupants and builders alike.
