Innovations in Heating and Cooling
It’s no secret that your car’s engine performs best when it is at a warmer temperature. However, that heat must go somewhere. That’s the reason why radiators are in.
A cooling system uses refrigerant, fans and ductwork to distribute air. Heating systems use fuel sources like gasoline or oil to warm the air.
Variable-Speed Technology
Variable speed technology is an important breakthrough in heating and cooling. The motors that blow air in gas furnaces and air handlers make use of this technology to regulate the airflow through your home. This technology is designed to eliminate cold and hot spots, as well as improve dehumidification during the hot summer months in the south.
The concept behind variable speed technology is to ensure that the system’s output is in line to the needs of your home’s energy. Most people would not drive their car in one gear. Instead, they’d change gears according to the requirements of the vehicle or the road conditions. This concept also works in your home. Variable speed systems provide homeowners and contractors a wide variety of benefits, including energy savings, lower noise levels, better indoor air quality, and the potential 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 at the desired temperature, before shutting off. The system will cycle back on when the temperature of your home reaches the desired level of comfort. The constant cycle uses up a lot of energy, particularly when the system is operating at full capacity.
A variable-speed system permits the compressor to operate at a lower rate for longer periods of time, consuming less energy. Your system can save you up to 30% in energy costs.
The use of variable speed technology in conjunction with other energy-saving upgrades such as zoning systems or smart controls, can increase the overall efficiency and performance of your system. Contact our expert team to determine if a system with variable speed technology and Greenspeed Intelligence is the right option for your home.

Wi-Fi(r) Controls
Wireless smart thermostats allow homeowners greater control over their HVAC system, reducing energy costs and improving comfort. These models use wireless communication to connect to a computer or smartphone app giving users the ability to monitor and adjust the temperature of their home remotely. Depending on the model, these devices can also learn household patterns and automatically adjust schedules to reduce energy consumption when no one is home or to maximize comfort when the residents are at home.
Smart thermostats let you monitor your system throughout the day. 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 to your to your home, they’ll change to the ”Home” mode to ensure maximum comfort.
The Wi-Fi(r), controls are more sophisticated than conventional thermostats and come with additional convenience features such as emails, remote system monitoring and a personalised web-based portal that functions as your thermostat. They also allow you to manage multiple zones from a single device. These are great for managing a rental property or vacation home from distance.
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 when you have a busy schedule and kids’ activities. Smart thermostats equipped with sensors monitor the occupancy of rooms, indoor temperatures and outdoor humidity to keep track of the current conditions. It also tracks the energy consumption of your home to determine if heating or cooling is needed and adjusts accordingly.
Sensors and intelligent programming of the Wi-Fi(r) control system can reduce your home’s power consumption by as much as 10 percent. They will not only cut your energy bills but aid in reducing your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier environment.
ENERGY START(r) Certification
ENERGY STAR is one of the most well-known and recognized labels in the United States. It’s that blue label you find on your fridge, light bulbs and other appliances. You can be assured that the products with the ENERGY STAR label have been independently tested to ensure that they meet strict energy efficiency standards and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The same standards that apply to individual products can also be applied to whole buildings. To be eligible for ENERGY STAR buildings must perform at least 15% better than ASHRAE 90.10-2010 (or state building codes). The performance benchmark is based on a number factors that affect energy consumption such as the weather conditions and occupancy. It also considers the size and nature of cooling and heating systems.
A building must be independently checked by a HERS Rater to be eligible for the ENERGY STAR Certification. The HERS Rater checks the insulation, air barrier and HVAC equipment within a home to ensure they have been installed and sized appropriately. The Rater also performs detailed inspections of ventilation and duct leakage.
All of these steps are designed to help homeowners save energy and money while preserving their health and the environment. This makes the ENERGY STAR an excellent way to increase the value of any apartment or home. Studies have proven that the ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments are usually rented or sold at higher prices than those that do not have the certification.
In addition to delivering long-term cost savings In addition to delivering long-term cost savings, ENERGY STAR certified buildings have been found to have lower operating costs than comparable buildings. They are also more comfortable to live in and consume less energy. In turn, the EPA estimates that ENERGY STAR homes save Americans more than $39 billion in energy costs each year.
High-Efficiency Systems
A high-efficiency HVAC system is more than just a way to save money on energy bills. It’s also a fantastic way to reduce carbon emissions and improve the environment. High-efficiency systems use up to 33% less energy than previous models, resulting in lower utility bills as well as significant savings on energy. High-efficiency systems reduce greenhouse gas emissions and utilize low-ozone, non-toxic refrigerants.
It could cost more to install a new high-efficiency, energy-efficient system than a previous model. However it will pay for itself in the long run through lower costs for energy and maintenance. It could also boost the value of your home, making it easier to sell.
High-efficiency systems offer a range of benefits, including increased comfort, less noise and improved indoor air. For instance, the latest filtration systems remove more harmful pollutants from the air. The systems can also improve occupant comfort by providing precise temperature control and removing hot or cold spots.
Heating and cooling consume the most energy in the average home, accounting for about 45% of all household energy use. Installing a new HVAC system with a modern unit will start saving you money on energy bills as soon as 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 systems can convert up to 98 percent of the energy generated by the fuel source directly into heat for your home. This is a vast improvement over standard furnaces that operate at only 80percent AFUE, and wasting 35% of the fuel they consume.
High-efficiency units consume less energy than older counterparts, resulting in less greenhouse gas emissions, and also helping to conserve the environment. They also can use non-toxic refrigerants, which eliminate the need to produce chemical products that harm the ozone layer. Builders and contractors can reduce environmental impact by incorporating high-efficiency systems into green construction projects. These systems also help cut construction costs, making them a smart investment for both occupants and builders alike.
