Variable-speed furnaces circulate more air throughout the home for longer periods of time, reducing air stratification room-to-room and floor-to-floor. These longer run cycles of the furnaces can improve air quality by increasing air filtration. Variable-speed furnaces offer significant operating cost savings and whisper quiet operation over the older heating systems. These systems also feature an ECM blower motor that uses less electricity than a 100 watt light bulb. Standard furnace motors use nearly 500 watts. The benefits of having a Variable Speed furnace or a blower motor with a VFD (variable frequency drive) in it is that it only runs as fast as it needs to instead of only running in one speed like a standard furnace. A second benefit is that they are much quieter, the slower the fan speed the quieter the equipment is. In the end it translates to savings!
