Many of the evolving technologies in the world focus on either making life easier or saving the planet. In many ways, both save Americans some money. Since the HVAC system uses most of the energy consumption in the house, here are a few green technologies that any heating and AC company in Douglasville can provide more details about. Geothermal Heat Pump A traditional heat pump uses electricity to cycle the coolant from inside the house to the outside. But, this requires enough of a temperature difference for the system to work well. If the outside temperature is too high, there is nowhere to dump the heat from inside as the system tries to cool the house. With a geothermal heat pump, the system uses the constant temperature down in the Earth to regulate the temperature in the house. Smart Unit One of the biggest changes in technology is the advent of smart everything. Phones, TVs, and even appliances are now 'smart' and the HVAC system is no different. For a few decades, homes have had programmable thermostats that saved energy and money by limiting when the system ran. But, it had to be programmed by a human and was not always accurate. Smart thermostats learn on their own when someone is home and adjusts energy usage accordingly. Even the units themselves are getting smarter, being able to open and close vents automatically to reduce energy costs as well. Dual Fuel Newer systems are reducing energy costs by using more than one fuel to heat and cool the house. Some systems use solar energy as well as natural gas or electricity to heat water for radiators. These work well in sunny climates even during the winter. Some systems will combine geothermal heating in the winter with electricity in the summer to maximize the efficiency of the system. Most of the advances in household technology revolve around making things more efficient and saving money. Light bulbs are lasting longer and using less energy while appliances are connecting through to the internet. Even the HVAC system is evolving. Homeowners can contact an AC company Douglasville for more details about upgrading their system.
