The Variable Drive Blower
Variable drive blowers are a relatively new innovation for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry. Homeowners are more frequently choosing furnaces, air conditioners, and coil blowers with this innovative, highly efficient air mover.
There are numerous consumer benefits with variable drive blowers:
They use much less electricity than conventional blowers. Typically, a variable drive blower will use only 30% of the electricity of a conventional air mover. This is a significant energy savings.
They make your environment more comfortable because of the way they operate. They do not come on with a large rush of air. Variable drive blowers slowly ramp up to speed, and shut off the same way. They slowly ramp down to off. The operation of a variable drive blower might be described this way. You do not hear the blower start. But, at some point you become aware that there is air movement caused by the operating air mover.
Variable drive blowers have more versatility in adjustment of the air being delivered. We can actually set the amount of air we are delivering into your home.
Variable drive blowers allow your cooling system to work more efficiently under a broader ranger of conditions. They can, for example, change themselves to remove higher amounts of humidity when needed. Imagine a spring day where the temperature is not excessive, but the humidity is very high. An air conditioning system with a variable drive blower can be set up to recognize this high humidity condition and to help relieve it without over cooling your home to an uncomfortably low temperature.
Probably the biggest advantage to the variable drive blower is how much it can help in creating a clean home environment for those of you who suffer from some kind of allergy. If you are trying to create a clean home environment, the more time that is spent cleaning the air, the less allergy contaminants will remain in the air in your home. Reduced contaminants translate to less allergic reactions. This means a comfortable, sneeze free, home environment for you and your family.
