For your Air conditioning System, Invertek variable speed drives, will ensure fantastic energy savings whilst ensuring the longevity of your air conditioning unit.
Depending on your needs – Residential or Commercial, your Invertek ECO Drive can control and safeguard much more than just temperature.
Invertek Variable speed technology enables Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems to precisely adjust its output or capacity according to your home’s temperature demand. Unlike a base model or single speed HVAC system which cycles ON at 100% then OFF, equipment with variable speed technology may use less energy because it is designed to operate at multiple capacity levels.
When one or more of these variable speed technology features is applied to your HVAC system, you will spend less on utility costs without sacrificing your indoor comfort level.
Variable Speed Drive Technology
The compressor is the heart of your air conditioning or heat pump system. It creates the cooling capacity for your system. Invertek Variable speed compressors allow a unit to run at virtually any speed between 30% and 100%.
This feature allows for different levels of output depending on your cooling or heating demands — full capacity for hot summer days or reduced capacity for milder days. It is a great energy-efficient option.
A Invertek variable speed drive can operate at various speeds to precisely control the amount of airflow throughout your home.
A variable-speed drive running continuously at a half speed may use up to 75% less power that a single-stage motor uses to move the same amount of air.
Variable Speed Drives Ease Demand
If you were in a bike race, would you take the route with one hill or multiple hills?
Which would require more energy?
Electricity usage peaks when an Air-conditioning system turns ON.
A single-speed HVAC system is ON at 100% capacity until it reaches your pre-set indoor thermostat or control system temperature and then turns OFF. It’s like riding a single speed bike over a series of hilltops. It takes a great deal of energy to keep biking up multiple hills.
Invertek Variable Drives allow for a more consistent path. It reduces the impact of a single speed’s start/stop cycle, reducing the potential peak draw on your home’s electrical service needs. Once your Air-conditioning system reaches the desired indoor temperature, the variable option more precisely adjusts to the less demanding environment, minimizing the capacity required to maintain that temperature compared to a single-speed system.
It’s like riding your bike uphill once, then leveling off on a flat road to the finish line — it requires less demand.
Added Benefits of Variable Speed Drives
A variable speed system may run longer than your traditional HVAC system, but at a level that requires less energy. This slow and steady operation offers some additional comfort benefits when compared to a single speed unit.
- Consistent Indoor Comfort – Variable speed technology may minimize the temperature swings often found with single-stage equipment. Rather than shutting down, the variable capacity prolongs the set temperature of your spaces. This allows for steady and consistent comfort in your home.
- Dehumidification – The longer an HVAC system runs, the more moisture might be removed from the indoor air. This may improve the balance between temperature and humidity, providing you with more comfortable interior air.
- Air Filtering – The extended run time at lower speeds may also allow more time for the circulating air to interact with filters or additional air quality system components. However, as with traditional systems, it is important to change out your filters according to your HVAC dealer or manufacturer’s recommendation.
If you are concerned about your rising utility bill but don’t want to sacrifice your indoor comfort, you may should get a Invertek Drive.
