A Variable-Speed Blower Motor Could Be The Solution To Your ...

Although you can't control the cost of energy, you do have some control over the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. One of the innovative technologies that makes new HVAC equipment so much more efficient is the integration of a variable-speed blower. Conventional blowers have only one speed, and the system is either on or off. With a variable-speed blower, the fan operates at a low speed most of the time, increasing speed only when more heated or conditioned air needs to be pushed to your living spaces. This ability to operate at different speeds has several benefits: Energy Efficiency – Even though they are nearly always operating, variable-speed blowers are much more energy efficient than conventional systems because they consume less energy. If you have a zone system in your home, the energy savings could be even greater. Home Comfort – You will no longer experience surprise blasts of hot or cold air. Constant air flow also helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout your entire home, so hot and cold spots disappear. Indoor Air Quality – Continuous air flow means constant air cleaning as particles are continuously collected in your air filter. Many variable-speed blowers can also be integrated with a humidity control system, further improving home comfort and indoor air quality. Noise – Variable-speed motors operate much more quietly than conventional systems. Because they are always running, you won't hear the noisy start-up cycle before the blower kicks on. Not all new heating and cooling systems use this technology, so be sure to ask your contractor to help you select new equipment that includes a variable-speed blower. Not only will you save money on monthly energy bills, but your home will be much more quiet and comfortable.
