Variable-Speed Blower Motors — The Advantages | Furnaces ...

With winter upon us here in the Chickasha area, it's time to start using our furnaces. For most homeowners, turning your up your furnace means one thing: high heating costs. However, with a variable-speed blower motor, you can reduce your expensive utility bills. This relatively new technology will enable you to minimize the workload your heating system must bear during the winter, while ensuring most consistent comfort and lower heating bills. Your blower motor is one of the components that contribute to the overall efficiency of the heating system in your home. It dispenses conditioned air from your system into the rooms in your living space. The effectiveness of a particular blower motor can vary between different models and technologies, and selecting the right one can make a huge difference. Traditional furnaces blowers only operate at one speed, full-go. When a traditional system is turned on, it runs at full capacity and consumes the most amount of energy possible. Since traditional units only run at the high speed, they will cost you more money on your heating bills than you should really be paying. In addition, they will cycle on and off more often, and as a result not provide even heating or effective air filtration or humidity control. A variable-speed blower motor, on the other hand, ramps up slowly and then remains at whatever level provides the optimum air flow in your home. This efficient operation can compensate for deficiencies elsewhere in your HVAC system, such as dirty filters or ducts. Because of the constant operation, the blower generally works at a lower, energy-efficient speed, making much less noise than a blower that clanks on and off on a regular basis. This will save you a good amount of money in the long run. In fact, a variable-speed blower motor consumes energy at a lower rate than a 100-watt light bulb.
