Furnaces have been on the market for years that have full modulation of output capacity. Instead of two or three speeds, these furnaces can regulate their heat output to match the amount of heat that is escaping your home. They offer the ultimate in efficiency and comfort by never over heating your home, but instead just putting out the amount of heat needed at any given time. No waste is involved in this process and it makes a very comfortable environment to not turn on and off constantly.
A new air conditioner is in the design process that will perform the same way. Currently a/c units are both single speed and two speed and the two speed unit can even out temperature swings and slow down to provide the correct capacity needed depending on outdoor temperature. Two speed units run longer using less electricity and this longer run time can offer enhanced dehumidification and comfort. The new unit will have true modulating capacity where it’s cooling output will match the heat coming in your home from the outside. The unit will use a variable speed compressor to have infinite number of levels to keep your home the temperature you deserve. These units will remove moisture better than any regular a/c system due to their long run time which will extract more moisture.
When these units have been thoroughly tested and proven to be reliable, we will start offering these new machines. A couple of manufacturers have already released their units, but until I see them run trouble free for a number of years, I personally would wait for the kinks to be worked out, but they are thee future of air conditioning. I believe all a/c units some day soon will be of the full modulating type and comfort and efficiency will be unparallelled. By Dan Jape, Reliable Heating, Air, Plumbing and Electrical.
