Is your HVAC system costing you too much money or failing to perform as it should? If so, it might be time to upgrade the system in your Fernandina Beach, Florida, home. One recent innovation in the rapidly changing HVAC field is the variable-speed motor. Let’s take a look at the advantages offered by a variable-speed HVAC system.
How Variable-Speed HVAC Systems Work
Variable-speed units adjust their output according to the temperature in your home, working harder when temperature demand is high and slowing down when demand is low. They can run at a wide range of speeds to precisely match your home’s heating & cooling requirements.
Extreme Energy Savings
If the cost of heating & cooling is getting you down, you’re not alone. The price of electricity has been increasing for years. Fortunately, HVAC technology continues to advance. One of the newer developments is the variable-speed compressor.
Instead of repeatedly turning on and off like a conventional unit, a variable-speed system works at a low speed most of the time. As a result, it experiences less wear and tear, enjoys a longer lifespan, and lowers utility bills. Variable-speed models are often more expensive than standard models, but you’ll eventually recoup your investment through the increased energy efficiency they offer.
Enhanced Comfort
Since the indoor air handler of a variable-speed system often stays running, it allows you to avoid temperature fluctuations caused by other heaters or air conditioners cycling on and off. It also prevents distracting noises caused by units that operate at higher speeds.
Healthy Air Quality
Because air flows through the filter in a variable-speed HVAC system almost constantly, the filter can remove more contaminants to improve your indoor air quality. Capturing more of these particles can help prevent asthma and allergy symptoms, sore throats, eye irritation, rashes, and unpleasant odors. A system that runs continuously can also control humidity in your home better than a conventional unit. As a result, you’ll help prevent microbial growth.
