Traditional HVAC systems can be energy-intensive and inefficient. Single-speed systems operate continuously until they reach the desired temperature, cycling on and off as needed. In contrast, variable speed technology allows HVAC systems to operate at various speeds, enabling precise and efficient temperature regulation.
Fremont, CA: Variable speed technology is synonymous with compressor innovation in heat pumps and air conditioners. Compressors are pivotal in controlling the cooling and heating capacity of these systems. With variable speed technology, HVAC systems can dynamically adjust their output, ensuring optimal temperature control within homes.
What Sets Modern Variable-Speed Systems Apart from Older Models?
Traditional HVAC systems tend to consume excessive energy and lack efficiency. Single-speed systems run at full capacity until the desired temperature is reached, leading to frequent cycling. In contrast, two-stage systems offer improved cooling patterns but fall short of the efficiency and benefits provided by variable speed technology.
Cost Savings and Energy Efficiency
Variable speed technology significantly reduces electricity consumption, with up to 75% less energy usage compared to one-stage systems, according to the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy.
