An inverter makes HVAC work better
When it comes to heat pumps, inverters will boost the purchase price but also improve energy efficiency, reduce noise level and better regulate heating and cooling.
Consumers need to weigh the cost/benefit ratio for their individual circumstances, but an inverter does offer advantages over the standard one-speed or two-speed systems.
The inverter, also known as variable speed, can heat or cool more precisely because it works in tiny increments rather than the on-again, off-again cycles of one-speed and two-speed systems.
This also reduces the noise of a system turning on and off, and it uses less energy – which in turn offers long-term savings that can recoup the added purchase cost.
Go smart
Inverter heat pumps also work well with smart thermostats, which maximize energy efficiency and control humidity.
