Technologies That Are Changing the HVAC Industry 

The Future of HVAC Is Here

• At the forefront of new technology are devices and systems that make appliances more efficient, powerful and smart.
• Perhaps the most compelling is the smart components, which can know when you’re home, and when you’re away, and adjust temperatures accordingly.
• This is the home improvement version of the internet of things, which strives to integrate household products with intelligent digital power.
• But gains in every area of your Atlanta HVAC company innovation give modern ACs and furnaces a boost that wasn’t possible a decade ago.

1. Variable Speed Motors

• Variable-speed motors are more powerful and dynamic than a single or two speed motor.
• Single motor only goes on and off.
• Two-speed motor can oscillate depending on the needs of the environment
• Variable speed motor gives the power to move the temperature up a degree at a time and be neither under or overpowered.
• Saves on electricity, and energy and keeps homes perfectly adjusted.

2. Thermal Air Conditioning

• Uses solar energy that is supported by natural gas when it’s running low.
• Gets rid of the cost of electricity.

• Can be used in AC units

 3. Ice Air Conditioning

• A company in California designed the Ice Bear,
• Which freezes 450 gallons of water outside a building at night.
• In the day this ice freeze is distributed through the existing AC system using 95 percent less power.

4. Geothermal Heat Pump

• While these systems have been in existence for over 60 years, they are gaining traction now that the world environmental movement is stronger.
• The pump uses a high-pressure refrigerant to grab and move heat from the inside of a house to the outside. Because the ground is about 50 degrees when you dig deeply enough, the pump is able to remain a constant temperature (compared to variable temperature air) and use a fraction of the energy to keep the refrigerant a steady temperature.
• They are twice as efficient as standard air conditioners, and half again as efficient as gas fired furnaces.
• It’s more effective than air controlled cooling and heating, which is variable. Cutting heating and cooling from 30 percent to 70 percent.

5. Software that Provides Energy Data

• This determines the best HVAC system for a particular space prior to any installation.
• Ideal for architects and engineers
• Can figure out the lifetime energy use in a building.

• These include Green Building Studio and Energy Gauge

6. Smart Technology

• When computers with GPS tracking are installed in the AC, it knows when you arrive and when you leave, controlling the temperature automatically.
• This saves energy.
• When they’re hooked up to monitor local environmental conditions, the system can be set to start an air filter to protect the inhabitants with cleaner air.
