Can A Microprocessor Controlled Device Save You Energy?

douglas ruryk — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 01:40:02 +0000

A Microprocessor Controlled Device typically reduces home Central Air Conditioning electric consumption by 10% to 20% or more. This is a microcomputer-controlled, UL listed electronic device that automatically adjusts the compressor cycles to achieve the greatest efficiency and reduced electrical usage, while assuring consistent temperature levels for even the most temperature sensitive homes. It is maintenance free, installed by RHSAC, and is guaranteed to save energy.

Is your electric bill out of control?

douglas ruryk — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 23:29:50 +0000

Now is the time to get your electric usage under control. With electric rates skyrocketing, a home needs to be more efficient more now than ever before.

Fine-tuning heating and air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment is a very good place to start because air-conditioning units are the largest users of electricity in residential and many commercial buildings. When heating and air-conditioning and refrigeration units are operating at peak efficiency, the percentage of power consumption is reduced by some times as much as 25% on average on what was considered ‘normal’ or ‘no complaints’, operating units. Several tests have proven that 9 out of 10 heating and air-conditioning and refrigeration units are operating at reduced efficiency. That is between 10% and 40% of their manufacturer rating. Again these are units that were considered to be in ‘normal’ working order by their owners

Ask yourself;

Is my A/C unit working efficiently?
When was the last time I had my equipment serviced by a professional?
Do I have my equipment serviced once a year?
Have I seen an increase in my electric bill?
Do I smell odors coming from my air vents?
Do I hear strange noises coming from my equipment?

Could a new system save me money on my heating cost?

douglas ruryk — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 05:26:04 +0000

Again depending on the efficiency of the equipment used. First for fossil fuel furnaces like natural gas, LP and oil; The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) is a thermal efficiency measure of combustion equipment like furnaces, boilers, and water heaters. If the heating system is 90% efficient then $0.90 of your $1.00 heating cost goes to heating your house but $0.10 is lost in the exhaust.
Second, HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) HSPF is specifically used to measure the efficiency of air source heat pumps. A heat pump with a high HSPF is more efficient than a heat pump with a low HSPF.
New heat pumps manufactured after 2005 are required to have an HSPF of at least 7.7. The most efficient heat pumps have a HSPF of 10.

Could a new system save me money on my cooling cost?

douglas ruryk — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 05:23:45 +0000

Depending on the SEER rating, you could save up to 60% on your cooling / heating costs. See the category Saving Energy

What does ice on my copper lines and coils indicate?

douglas ruryk — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 05:11:29 +0000

The unit could be low on refrigerant, the evaporator coil could be clogged or the filter could be in need of changing. On a heat pump in heating mode it is normal for the outside coil to have ice on it. The unit has a timed and temperature controlled defrost mode which will remove this ice. It is normal to see steam come from the unit during this mode.

Which is more energy efficient to heat with, a heat pump or straight cool?

douglas ruryk — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 05:06:20 +0000

A heat pump can use up to 50% less energy to heat the home than a straight cool.

What is the difference between a heat pump and a straight cool system?

douglas ruryk — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 05:01:30 +0000

A heat pump uses the existing refrigerant circulating the opposite way as it does in cooling to heat the home; a straight cool uses electric coils in the air handler to heat the home.
