Advancements in heating and cooling technology have made it increasingly easy for San Antonio homeowners to decrease their annual energy costs. One such breakthrough was the introduction of variable-speed air handlers. Updating the traditional one-speed system, variable-speed air handlers allow for multiple operating capacities, making it much easier to condition your household without wasting energy.
Consider the benefits:
- Because variable speed air handlers aren’t forced to run at full capacity at all times, they don’t experience the constant burden of the single-speed air handler; this extends the life of your system.
- Variable-speed operation also means lower energy consumption, which translates to lower energy costs for San Antonio homeowners.
- Where single-speed systems whip air through your filters at a constant, breakneck speed, a variable-speed air handler allows for a slower passage of air. This leads to a more thorough filtration of air and better dehumidification (when cooling). Thus, indoor air quality is much improved.
- Since a variable-speed air handler can change speeds gradually, you are no longer subjected to sudden puffs of hot or cold air. Nor do you have to worry about the noise that accompanies the operation of a single-speed system.
If you are interested in increased efficiency and energy savings, a variable-speed air handler may be a good place to start your research. In fact, it is estimated that variable-speed air handlers can save homeowners up to 40 percent annually in heating and cooling costs – a significant savings.
