Benefits of 2-Stage and Variable Speed Furnaces

What is a Variable Speed Furnace?

Unlike conventional fan motors, a variable speed blower motor runs at different speeds to precisely control the flow of heated or cooled air throughout your home. Better airflow control means a better balance of temperature and humidity to each room.

Using advanced technology that constantly monitors the data coming from your heating and cooling system, and automatically makes adjustments necessary to meet your comfort needs. It varies the amount of circulated air, compensating for factors like dirty filters or blocked or leaking ducts by increasing the fan speed.

-- Put simply, it delivers just the right amount of air for the right level of heating and cooling comfort

As an added bonus, a variable speed motor gradually ramps up to full speed. This eliminates the sudden, noisy blast of air that’s associated with most standard furnace motors. It also reduces stress on the mounting hardware and in the cooling mode, it allows the air conditioner to remove more moisture from the air.
