It ranges from 152 m3 y in an r 2000 house with a high efficiency furnace in toronto to 222 m3 y in an existing house with a mid efficiency furnace in moncton.
Ecm furnace motor savings.
Here are some of the advantages to upgrading to a furnace ecm motor instead of sticking with the original equipment psc model.
Indoor temperatures are more consistent.
Upgrading to an ecm blower will cut furnace electrical consumption from 500 watts down to about 80 watts substantially reducing the load on your monthly utility bill.
The net effect on the homeowner s energy usage by the ecm motors may be reduced by as much as 46 which depending on the home and the furnace model could result in as much as 67 00 per year in energy savings.
Ecm motors contain a microprocessor which is the key component of what makes them able to provide higher efficiency.
Additional benefits of these brushless dc motors include low electrical consumption when operating within design tesp total external static pressure.
Although the old furnaces with psc induction motors may still be in stock for a short time after july 3 they will only be available while supplies last.
Electrical savings are independent of furnace efficiency.
When installed properly systems with ecms can improve dehumidification reduce register noise save energy and provide trouble free operation.
In the simplest terms an ecm motor lowers the total electrical consumption of an ac or furnace and helps to maintain proper air flow through the system.
Short for electronically commutated motor ecm technology sips electricity instead of guzzling it.
