Chances are, if your heating and air conditioning system is more than a few years old, you’re familiar with the jolting, disruptive sound that it produces when it starts. Unfortunately, that is literally the sound of money draining out of your bank account. A great new feature to look for with newer heating and air conditioning systems is a variable speed compressor. When this compressor is added to a unit, it is considered a variable speed system. These systems can drastically reduce your energy bills and significantly improve the comfort levels in your home.
What is a Variable Speed System?
A variable speed system allows an HVAC unit to maintain a temperature setting without the need to constantly turn itself on and off. Since the system runs continuously, it can gradually increase or decrease its speed to keep your home comfortable. This is a sharp contrast to older systems, which are either off or running at full blast. Older systems are designed to stop running when the desired temperature setting is reached. When the temperature goes outside of the specified range, older systems kick back on at full blast, even though that much airflow wasn’t needed. This requires a lot of energy. Since variable speed systems only run at the speed that is necessary to keep you comfortable, the savings can be substantial. Variable speed systems only have to run on full blast when there are extreme temperatures.
